He showcases the efforts, work and opportunities the organization produces. \nRodrigo shares significant wisdom for folks of all walks of life concerning our relationship with natural resources and why we should probably care. He also offers advice, insight, and resources for those who want to be more involved in conservation.\n \nReach out directly to the organization at borderlandsrestoration.org\nInstagram: @borderlandsrestoration\n---\nConnect, support, and follow along at:\nhttps://linktr.ee/surfaceexposure ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/G72oYuVVRyIkT1dy2p5tL9kD51uIno1Ed00QI1fx-MA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMDA2/NmRmNzA4MDViMDU5/Mzc2ZGRkNzMxNjE5/ODk2Yi5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
