from Conservation Careers Podcast

When was the last time a piece of art changed how you thought or felt about the natural world? Today’s guest is Rory McCann — a conservation artist and muralist who uses large-scale, community-driven art to inspire awareness, connection, and action for nature.In this conversation, Rory shares what it’s like to create wildlife-inspired murals, and how involving schools and communities in the creative process can help people fall in love with wildlife.We explore the power of art in conservation, education and behaviour change — and how Rory’s own journey, shaped by childhood arthritis and a deep love of nature, led him to forge a creative career outside the traditional path.Whether you’re a career switcher, student, artist or conservationist, this is a beautiful reminder that there’s no one way to make a difference.It’s a bold, personal, and inspiring episode.Enjoy.Linkshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rory-mccann-artist/https://www.instagram.com/rorymccannart/https://www.facebook.com/RoryMcCannMuralshttps://rorymccannmurals.com/about/
