We are back after a short winter break! Who better to kick things back off with, than the very inspiring Amy Robbins. Amy is the currently the Deputy Curator of Mammals at Auckland Zoo, as well as the founder of the Sumatran Ranger Project. Amy shares her extensive journey in the zoo industry, particularly with orangutans and carnivores. She delves into the changes that she would like to see within the zoo industry, as well as what she believes the roles that zoos have in wildlife conservation. We learn all about the incredible work that Amy does with the Sumatran Ranger Project in mitigating human-wildlife conflict in North Sumatra, as well as her experiences as an eco-adventure guide. Amy was so generous in sharing advice from her very successful career with our listeners- so tune in!
