385. Exploring the lack of progress on biodiversity and conservation with author of Wild Quests, Satyajit Das

Published: June 9, 2024, 2:01 p.m.

This podcast is a big exploration of several important topics of our times (Das hates the word \u2018conversation\u2019 and shares why in the show) 


  • People feel jaded seeing injustices inflicted on people, from corporate to political to personal, without a sense of real accountability for actions taken and how that\u2019s impacting everything from polarization to lack of success in environmental care and regeneration. 
  • The corporatisation of not-for-profits and climate change are feeding into many people\u2019s scepticism that the policies and solutions being tabled will get us results. 
  • Wild Animals and Das\u2019 book \u201cWild Quests\u201d to help remind us what needs our attention and witness. 
  • Why \u201cDonate $1 a day to save the Koala/Nature reserve/World\u201d is not working. 
  • Living with our own contradictions - impossible to escape if we want to unite over what will make a difference. 


Das isn\u2019t here to give people comfortable \u2018off ramps\u2019 and this was definitely a thought provoking hour exploring things we\u2019re all often thinking about, also often despairing over the state of, and yet never moving forward and we aim to light a fire or remind us to find our overlaps and common ways to move forward. 


I hope you love it as much as I did, your host, Alexx
