S6, Episode 4: This Earth Day, Working to Save the Heart of the Wild

As Earth Day turns 55 this year, it seemed like a good moment to reflect on WCS’s mission to protect wildlife and wild places. Why does the protection of biodiversity carry with it so many other benefits to humankind? What are the approaches that work and what are the challenges? And what can the average person do to make it a priority in their lives? WCS Wild Audio found just the right person to ask.
