Join us for an enlightening conversation with JD Bergeron, the CEO of International Bird Rescue, where we find out the amazing story behind the organization's noble goal of saving oiled birds. Starting with the oil spill in California in 1971 and ending with the discovery that dish soap is a good way to clean feathers, JD talks about the organization's interesting past and the challenges it faces today.
Oil spill reaction is hard because there are a lot of rules and regulations, and JD helps us understand how different states and countries handle these kinds of disasters. From Alaska to California and Russia to South Africa, we look at the different rules and problems that come with dealing with oil spills and how they affect wildlife. We also talk about the science behind birds that have been cleaned of oil and how bird bands can be used to keep track of how long they live.

In this episode, we take you on a journey to West Borneo, Indonesia, to discover ASRI's revolutionizing rainforest conservation with its unique and holistic approach.
Join us as we have an empowering conversation with Febri, the Executive Director of ASRI, and learn about their integrated approach to conservation that combines healthcare, education, and livelihoods to empower local communities living around the forest.
At the heart of ASRI's approach is its healthcare clinic, which not only provides essential services to the community but also connects conservation with healthcare. Patients can pay for services with seedlings, which are then used to reforest degraded areas. This innovative approach is a win-win for both people and the planet.
We also explore the vital role of women in conservation efforts and the influence of different religions on environmental preservation in the region. Febri shares how ASRI is engaging women in conservation efforts, providing them with skills training and access to education and healthcare. Furthermore, ASRI is working with other leaders to promote environmental stewardship and spread awareness about the importance of conservation.
They also encourage "green" villages by offering healthcare discounts to communities that protect the forest. This approach not only incentivizes conservation efforts but also creates a sense of pride and ownership in the community.
Through ASRI's integrated approach, local communities are empowered to become guardians of the rainforest. They are given the tools and resources to protect the forest while also improving their own livelihoods. ASRI's success in this area is a testament to the power of community-led conservation efforts.
Join us as we uncover the valuable lessons behind their approach to conservation and the importance of local community support. Febri's passion for this cause is truly inspiring and offers valuable insights for conservation efforts globally.
As we face the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, ASRI's approach to conservation offers a glimmer of hope. It shows us that it is possible to protect our planet while also improving the lives of the communities that depend on it.

Let's talk about sustainable tourism preservation with inspiring industry expert Saul Blanco Sosa. He's from Guatemala and lives near the famous Mayan city of Tikal. He is currently the Director of Sustainable Travel Programme at Preferred by Nature, and has been advocating sustainability in the travel sector since 1994.
This conversation is about how travel can help people learn and make the world a better place. We talk about doing business in a responsible way, including the power of auditing, how to avoid "box-ticking," and what a sustainable hotel might look like. We look at ways for businesses to deal with problems like food waste, the exploitation of children, and the use of renewable energy. We talk about how important tourism certification is and how important it is to recognize the role of indigenous people.
Saul started traveling in a way that was good for the environment when he was 18 and learning how to be a tour guide at Tikkal National Park. When he realized that sustainable travel was a way to show the world how different countries are, he became very interested in it. He says how important it is to be a good ambassador and show tourists from all over the world their culture. This conversation shows that travel can be a great way to learn, but it must also be done in a responsible way. He then cites examples of how travel can have bad effects, like making problems worse in sensitive areas, and how to deal with this. He shares how tourism can be both a chance for growth and a way to hurt communities. He says that we can't stop tourism completely, so we should focus on making the interactions between locals and tourists more meaningful. We also talk about how important tourism certification is and how important it is to recognize the role of indigenous people.
Lastly, Saul talks about how important it is to slow down when traveling and take the time to get to know a place and its people. This will help you make memories that will last and have a positive effect on the people who live there.

AG is a passionate photographer, artist, and environmental activist from the Philippines. He has been doing large-scale murals around the world for the last 14 years. His subjects focus on climate justice, indigenous people, and marine environments. In 1999, he joined the first-ever humpback whale migration research in the Philippines and spent months at sea taking photos. Through his photographs, they were able to catalog the whales and compare them with Japanese and Russian researchers. AG explained that they can identify the individual whales through the underside of their tails, which are then cataloged and used to track the whales and determine who they are.
He explains that whales travel to the Philippines and that the locals have been telling stories about them for generations. The discovery was made due to the observations of the local fisher folks, who noticed a loud, singing sound coming from the sea. This discovery is important in order to establish marine protected zones for humpback whales, as this was previously unknown.
This conversation also discusses the impact of art activism on younger generations and encourages listeners to take the first step in saving the planet.
