For many of us, there's a deep rooted feeling within us that gives us an urge to explore & travel the world & a part of that is built on wanting to see wildlife. Whether it's elephants in southern Africa, whales around the coast of Iceland or the many species of birds in Brazil. There's a pull that encourages us to spend money, travel & enjoy seeing these countries & their wildlife........but
Is wildlife tourism actually helping biodiversity & the local communities? How can we trust where our money is going? And in the current events of the climate crisis, should we all be encouraged to fly around the world? There's a lot of questions here so join us as we dig into the topic of Wildlife Tourism.
Guest appearances from Professor Adam Hart of Gloucester University & Chandika Jayarante of Jetwings Sri Lanka.
