Description

There's not too many people in the world with the job title of wild cat photographer. But in this episode, we're going to meet one of the world's best - Sebastian Kennerknecht. He’s photographed over twenty species of wild cat in their natural habitat and has teamed up with biologists all over the world to share their research and stories.
Like a field biologist though, it's not a job for the faint-hearted - he's had hook worms burrow in his feet in the jungles of Borneo, almost rolled his car off a bridge in Gabon and had a terrifying near-death experience in Uganda. And don't worry - I've blown my entire sound effects budget for the year to tell that story.
So what does it take to be a wild cat photographer? What role does photography have in conservation? And what should you be doing today if you want to follow in his footsteps?

Lions, tigers and leopards are just some of the 40 species of wild cat around the world that are under threat. Join me, as we travel to every corner of the globe to hear the incredible stories from the people and communities working to study and protect all species of wild cat. Wild cat conservation is more than just cats - by protecting cats, we save other species in their ecosystems, we help local communities in their habitats and we conserve huge swathes of precious land across the planet. Cats of the Wild is an original, not-for-profit podcast by Andy Varvel.
