Rhett Butler is the founder of Mongabay, one of the most popular environmental science and conservation news sites in the world.

\n

He has such an interesting background and some wild stories. We talk about rainforests, deforestation, climate change, bioacoustic monitoring, close encounters with elephants and gorillas, and what it is like to be friends with Jane Goodall.
