TEDx: Is There Hope For Conservation?

I’m really thrilled that the video for my TEDx talk is now online! It was a really fun event, with a fantastic group of people – personally my favorite talk was by Aiden Peppin on ‘foolish wisdom‘.

Please do give it a watch if you have a few minutes to spare. Optimism is something I think we are sometimes lacking in conservation, and we forget that the community has achieved so, so much! Let’s keep striving; slowly, but surely, I think we’re turning a corner.

There’s lots of other conservation themed TEDx talks worth watching, so if you want to watch more, here’s the beginnings of a list!
