Eyes On Conservation
A long format podcast featuring interviews with biologists, researchers and citizen scientists of Wild Lens Inc’s Eyes On Conservation short video series. See their latest incredible work on the vanishing Vaquita porpoise species (100 left on earth) and support the film Sea of Shadows here.
Species conservation efforts, which are in fact always also SPECIES HABITAT conservation efforts, take decades and require the engagement of ALL interested parties for conservation to work. When you listen to the story of what it has taken to try and bring back the California Condor for example, you see how stunning a blow it is when decades of hard won protections are deleted with a single penstroke.
