Conservationist Dr. Paula Kahumbu on Biodiversity Loss in Kenya
As we celebrate Wangari Maathai Day on March 3rd, we are bringing you a re-run of our interview with Dr. Paula Kahumbu, a leading figure in Kenya's conservation sector. Dr. Paula Kahumbu is an award-winning Kenyan conservationist and the current CEO of WildlifeDirect. In this episode of the podcast (originally aired in 2019), she celebrates Kenya’s rich biodiversity and talks about the need for civic education on conservation. Loss of biodiversity, she also argues, is our biggest threat yet. “We have the most to lose, because we have the most on our doorstep.”
