In this episode, Jessie Panazzolo talks about becoming the Lonely Conservationist. She started a blog about her isolating experiences as a budding conservationist.

Jacob speaks to Nish and Scott from Endangered Sounds about their unique conservation project combining art, endangered species and cryptocurrency. The Endangered Sounds team is creating digital art using the sounds of endangered species and then selling them as NFTs. They are aiming to raise $200,000 for wildlife conservation charities. If you’re not familiar, NFT stands for non-fungible token. It’s basically owning a unique digital asset such as artwork that is verified by the blockchain.  Even if you can’t quite wrap your head around the technology side, the artwork and sounds are absolutely stunning. Look out for them in our upcoming posts. Thanks to Nish and Scott for the chat and for allowing us to share some of your amazing work! Twitter @endangeredsol web: endangeredsounds.art
