Voices of Wilderness The WILD Foundation

Ever wondered how human viruses often originate from wildlife? Take Avian Influenza, for instance. H5N1 now poses an existential threat to global biodiversity, having infected over 150 wild and domestic avian species worldwide, along with numerous mammalian species. And while it's a significant risk for biodiversity, it also presents a potential spillover risk for us. Today, we're joined by Chris Walter, WCS Executive Director of Health, who will discuss what we can do to tackle this wildlife crisis and why it's crucial to consider the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.

Have you been curious about the power and pressures of social media? In our extremely digital and hyper-connected world, these media platforms have the power to amplify voices for good and for bad.
We sat down in a new podcast episode with Blake Moynes, wilderness enthusiast, and reality TV star turned conservationist, to talk about the pressures he faces, the trade-offs, and the realities of what this lifestyle means for his personal life versus the greater good.
Influencing and impactful influencing are here to stay. This is an area of conservation amplification that we can’t ignore in our modern world.

No conservation story starts the same way, but what we know at WILD is that they all share a common thread: passion. 

Today, we introduce you to Blake Moynes, who, from a young age, harbored a fascination for wildlife, always wrapped up in the wilderness of the Canadian North. But before he dedicated his life to conservation, you might've caught him on reality TV.  

Join us as Blake shares his childhood passion for wildlife and discusses his advocacy and support for endangered species, and his use of his notoriety to contribute to the protection of wilderness.

Today is Earth Day! For this special occasion, we wanted to support traditional cultures as Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities are the best stewards of the planet. Today, to delve deeper into the topic, we have an important guest on our podcast.

In this episode, we're honored to have Dan Wildcat, a Yuchi member of the Muscogee Nation of Oklahoma, who's passionately dedicated to bridging the gap between climate change and Indigenous Peoples. His latest work, 'On Indigenuity: Learning the Lessons of Mother Earth,' explores how Indigenous wisdom can guide us in tackling today's challenges.
Together, we'll immerse ourselves in the concept of Indigenuity, exploring Indigenous eco-kinship, questioning the Western divide between spirituality and science, and rediscovering our connection to the Earth.
