In this podcast episode, we explore the changing world of conservation and the critical need for increased diversity and inclusion in this field. The discussion features two compelling case studies: Isaac Aguilar, a Latino conservation scientist tackling the issue of invasive ants in California, who highlights the significance of representation and making conservation accessible to all; and the Black Mambas, an all-women anti-poaching unit in South Africa, which showcases a community-focused, non-violent approach that values local knowledge and involvement. Together, these stories illustrate how diverse perspectives and inclusive practices are essential for effectively addressing the complex challenges in conservation today.
