Description
Conservationist Paul Rosolie co-leads a non-profit deep in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon. Conserving forests beyond where law enforcement is willing to travel can be dangerous work. However, Rosolie and his team successfully recruit former loggers to be conservation rangers, provide alternative income streams for communities, and manage to attract millions of dollars in funding. Today, this Indigenous-led non-profit is responsible for protecting 55,000 acres of rainforest. In this podcast episode, Rosolie shares his recipe for conservation success and what he thinks other conservation organizations should focus on.
