Description

Today Jack is joined by the incredible Katie Macfarlane to discuss inclusivity, nature therapy and zoo education. The pair start by exploring Katie's transition from archeology to conservation, and her education with Durrell Conservation Academy in Mauritius. They then move on to discuss her roles at some of Scotland’s biggest animal attractions (Deep Sea World and Blair Drummond Safari Park); her experiences running outdoor education sessions with Camphill Blair Drummond and FABB; and her current role as the Youth Engagement Officer for the Marine Conservation Society. On top of all that they also discuss the importance of nature for mental health; two of Katie's favourite underrepresented animal groups (local Scottish sea life and rhinos); and the fantastic podcast, Wee Blue Dot!
