The Wild Life of Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant

This week we’re thrilled to re-release one of our favorite conversations with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant — a wildlife ecologist, National Geographic explorer, and all-around conservation rock star. In this inspiring episode, Dr. Wynn-Grant takes us behind the scenes of her incredible journey studying some of the world’s most iconic carnivores — from grizzly bears in Yellowstone to African lions across Kenya and Tanzania. Her work uncovers how human activity shapes carnivore behavior and habitat use, and how we can better coexist with wildlife in a changing world. We also chat about her passion for science communication and her role as host of PBS’s acclaimed podcast, Going Wild with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant, where she brings listeners along on her adventures in the field and explores what it truly means to connect with the wild. A native Californian, Dr. Wynn-Grant shares how childhood curiosity and representation in science inspired her career, and how she’s using her platform to promote equity, inclusion, and diversity within the conservation movement. =========================================================== Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
