    Wild for Salmon - Julia Hill Sorochan

    Send us a text In this epsiode I get to have (an in person) talk with Julia Hill Sorochan, executive director at Skeena Wild Conservation Trust (with a guest appearance by Nathan Meakes). Julia's story stem from legacy protection work in Northern BC and became part of the Skeena WIld team in 2007. Skeena Wild is key player in salmon conservation in Northern BC - working with local communities, first nations, and environmental agencies. They have been involved in numerous large scale efforts to protect the northern coast from unwanted industrial advancement. Their mission is to ensure that fish continue to return to our rivers now and for future generations to support job and food security and people’s connection to wild salmon. They are involved in policy reform driven by their own cutting edge salmon research.  Website: https://skeenawild.org/ Facebook: Skeena Wild Instagram: @skeenawild.conservation.trust Podcast: UpStream

    Tough Little Turtle - Dr Zach Bell

    Send us a text In this episode I talk to Dr Zach Bell about his foundation, and mission, to protect and save a curious little Turtle. Meet the Ryukyu Black-breasted Leaf Turtle - a turtle no bigger than a phone, navigating misty mountain peaks, perching on trees like a stealthy spy, and flashing a vibrant red tail longer than its legs. This endangered marvel is found only on three subtropical islands in the waters around Japan. With behaviours unlike any other turtle species, these little adventurers are as mysterious as they are mesmerising. But their future is uncertain. Threatened by habitat loss, illegal wildlife trafficking, and environmental changes, their survival depends on dedicated conservation efforts. Join us as we dive into the extraordinary world of these turtles, exploring their unique lives and the critical work of the Okinawa Kame Centre—a nonprofit organization fighting to protect and conserve them in the wild.
