We talk about her current role as a Conservation Director of the Wild Source, how her persistent paid off, disruptive empowerment and other models to give back to local communities, how nonprofits need to be run more like businesses, and our thoughts on exploitation and lack of diversity in the sector.

15: Is Travel the Best Way to Help Wildlife? (w/ Brooke Mitchell-Norman of Rewildology podcast)

In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla speaks with Brooke Mitchell-Norman. They talk about tourism, communication, education, and how all of that relates to conservation! Episode suggestion: Don't sacrifice what you want now for what you want most of all. Call to action: Support a local small business that donates or shares some of its profits with a cause you care about. How does travel benefit conservation?  When it is done right, it puts an exact value dollar on a live and thriving wildlifeWhen your favourite species is a top predator, it is in your genes to want to kill it to protect yourself There are very few things in conservation that places monetary value on wildlife, nature, and intact ecosystems  A significant number of people are directly and indirectly supported through tourism  Can you tell us about some of the ways that travelers can not just support local communities and put value on live animals but also directly contribute to community science?  Do your research Check the websites; can you tell if the business is locally owned or not?If so, your money will be for the local community  How are they interacting with wildlife?If there are advertisements of people directly touching and interacting with wildlife, such as cubs, that is a red flag  If something makes you uncomfortable, you do not have to do it  Are there any countries with regulations on these things?  The Galapagos Africa Be wary of Asia, research elephant tourism  Why is communication and education so important for conservation?  Connection We have to change the message from doom and gloom to storytelling and showing what we are fighting for If you connect with someone on a deeper level, they are more likely to listen to what you have to say and support you  What are some misunderstandings?  That it is “bothering” wildlife, but there are always many layers to the reason for it. If it wasn’t for tourism, a lot of ecosystems would not have continued to thrive There are a lot of tourism places that give a bad reputation to the reputable ones  Links Mentioned in the Episode:  Lekker Coffee in Rino, Colorado Rhino Film: The Last Horns of Africa  Where to find Brooke:  Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | Youtube You can support the K9 Conservationists Podcast by joining our Patreon at patreon.com/k9conservationists.
