478: Forrest Galante, part 1: Saving Zanzibar Leopards and Other Not Yet Extinct Species
Most of you probably know Forrest for his television shows. He combines the most intriguing parts of being a biologist, an adventurer, and a television star. His passion for each is infectious. Most of all, he loves wildlife.
I learned from him first through his new book, Still Alive: A Wild Life of Rediscovery, which gives depth and origins to that passion and love. I can imagine seeing him on TV without knowing that background, you’d wonder where it all came from.
You know me. Even with the background, I’m curious about the story behind the story behind the story, which Forrest shares in our conversation.
He also shared a meaningful moment of new reflection when I asked what the environment meant to him. Despite working with nature being his life, no one had asked what it meant to him. Listen to find out.
