Episode 1: Brian Schuh and Carnivore Conservation

Today I spoke with Brian Schuh, Ph.D. Candidate and Cheetah Biologist about the field of conservation, realizing  your dreams, and human carnivore coexistance. We begin by discussing why he chose to become a conservation biologist, the experiences that helped him grow in this field, and how his getting his Master's changed his career trajectory. Next we dove into some of the work he is doing on human carnivore coexistance, livestock guarding dogs, and how differences in societal views of predators impact conservation in Africa vs. the United States. Lastly, Brian gives advice to future conservationists and talks about the parts of conservation he's most excited to see grow in the future.
