In this episode, Dr. Katie Dudley and Dr. Devyani Singh discuss wildlife tourism and the impact of tourists on wildlife and local communities 🐅

🗞️ They play a game called 'Tourists in the News' where they discuss headlines about tourists getting in trouble with wild animals.

✅ They also explore the concept of being a traveler versus a tourist and the importance of being a responsible tourist.

🎓 Dr. Singh shares her research on the connection between people and the environment, specifically focusing on tiger conservation in India. The conversation explores the challenges and complexities of wildlife tourism in India, particularly focusing on tiger reserves. It discusses the motivations behind tourists wanting close encounters with wildlife, the cultural factors that influence the behavior of local people towards tourists, and the importance of respecting animal behavior and personal space.

🤳 They also touch on the positive and negative impacts of tourism on wildlife conservation, the misconceptions about tiger behavior, and the author's personal experience of finally seeing a tiger in the wild and the importance of experiencing wildlife tourism beyond just capturing a photo.

🌈 Dr. Singh encourages listeners to ask questions, engage with local guides, and learn about the larger conservation issues surrounding wildlife tourism.
