Episode Description

Today I spoke with childrens book author and the founder and director of the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund (KACF), Dave Johnson. We talked about how conducting mountain lion research as a teenager led him on the path of wildlife biology and conservation, the summer of grizzly bear research in Alaska that changed his career trajectory, and the ability to make a difference by mentoring teenagers in the Denver Community as a zoo keeper at the Denver Zoo for the last 25 years. We then dove into the work he is doing with the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund, supporting community level conservation efforts across 24 countries around the world. At the time this episode is released, Dave is currently visiting a wildlife veterinary hospital built on the grounds of the National Trust for Nature Conservation in the Chitwan National Park of Nepal which the KACF helped raise funds to build.
