Anthropomorphism And How It Impacts Our Understanding Of Animals

IMG_2969.JPG

In this episode, I have a discussion with wildlife educator, Tijana Selak about anthropomorphism and how it impacts our understanding of animals. We discuss the bad (how anthropomorphizing can negatively influence wildlife research and rehab, how its use through social media can be dangerous, and how it can hurt the work that accredited zoos are trying to do), and the good (how it builds empathy towards animals, and can benefit conservation efforts), as well as exploring examples in our everyday lives, how to properly interpret what animals are feeling or communicating, and how misinterpreting behavior can lead to dangerous conclusions.

National Geographic Photographer Joel Sartore

IMG_0978.JPG

In this episode, I interview world-renowned photographer, speaker, author, and conservationist, Joel Sartore. Joel has been working with the National Geographic for over 30 years. He has visited over 40 countries and photographed thousands of different species. He founded the National Geographic Photo Ark. It’s a multiyear effort to document every species living in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, inspire action through education, and help save wildlife by supporting on-the-ground conservation efforts. To date he has photographed 11.500 species. His goal is to reach 20,000 species!

As you’ll find out in the interview, Joel initially reached out to me to photograph two of my animals. “Irwin” my Solomon Island Tree Skink and my Blue Panay Tarantula. It turns out Irwin, my skink I’ve had for 13 years, is quite rare! A taxonomist came back and said Irwin was a Solomon Islands Tree Skink, Corucia zebrata, ‘Malaita form’. Irwin is likely a southern form of this skink with possible mixed heritage.
