In this episode, Dan is joined by photographer and conservationist, Paul Goldstein where they have a no holds barred discussion on everything from completing 50 marathons dressed in a tiger suit, to getting frost nip in the frozen Baffin Island wilderness at -40 degrees...

Paul has spent his life campaigning to conserve and protect wildlife raising over £750,000 for various wildlife causes . He is outspoken in almost everything and has the ‘correct’ opinion on virtually any topic - from trafficking wildlife species, the best English cricket allrounder and the top 20 movies of all time, as well as the 10 most corrupt presidents ever… It’s a trait that has landed him in hot water over the years and he’s not welcome in some countries.

He treats that as a badge of honour.

Underneath everything though, is a giant heart with a huge desire to conserve and protect wildlife - to get involved, get his hands filthy, and physically do something tangible, that makes a difference. Join us as we bring you the first of our dedicated Wild Voices episodes where we speak to real people at the forefront of conservation.

In this episode we will be continuing our discussion on the Maasai Mara, delving into the Conservancies and the conservation model that makes these areas so special… We will discuss why cows are essential to keeping predator numbers high (and not in the way you think), how grass is the basis for everything, and why a safari here is not only beneficial, but also a wildlife photographer’s dream.

Join us as we bring you, the Maasai Mara Part 2: Conservancies…

Featuring:

Bernard Soit - Maasai local, silver-rated wildlife guide and a very good friend

Brian Schuch - PhD in cheetah and cattle interactions researched in the Conservancies
