We need hope more than ever! In this episode, Denver Audubon’s Communications Manager Dori Edwards, interviews Dave Johnson. In 2014, after losing a dear friend and conservation ally, Katie Adamson, to her battle with cancer, Zookeeper Dave Johnson founded the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund- a community-based conservation organization operating from the Denver, Colorado area. For over a decade, the organization has been dedicated to a global mission of wildlife protection and cultural compassion through unique methods built upon their conservation imperative- helping people helps animals.
Throughout the episode, Dori and Dave explore the importance of joy, love, community, education, and inspired action in the conservation space. Together, they laugh, cry, and marvel at the miracle of life on this planet, all while discussing creative solutions for better coexistence.
