from How Can I Help? · host Chris Whitten
On the How Can I Help Podcast, guest Betsey Brewer discusses a Native American quote about borrowing the earth from our children and links kindness, community, and conservation. She shares the origins of her family’s privately owned Southwick’s Zoo and explains modern zoo goals like species-typical behavior, health and breeding. She describes her focus on conservation and education, forming the nonprofit EARTH Ltd in 1999 and its mission to engage, educate, and inspire protection of biodiversity through hands-on experiences. The conversation emphasizes the importance of the How Can I Help? mindset with small collective actions like composting, conserving water, reusing materials and reducing plastics. Betsey also details white rhino poaching for horns, dehorning as a major deterrent, Southwick’s rhino encounters and support for projects that fund dehorning and educate local communities.Follow Our Guests: Southwick's Zoo - WebsiteSouthwick's Zoo - InstagramSouthwick's Zoo - FacebookEARTH Ltd - WebsiteEARTH Ltd - InstagramEARTH Ltd - FacebookJoin the How Can I Help Movement!Grab Your Stickers!How Can I Help Movement - WebsiteHow Can I Help Movement - InstagramHow Can I Help Movement - Facebook
