HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Jane Smith, the lead instructor for the Advanced Certificate in Wildlife Advocacy Development. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences that led you to teach this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've spent over 20 years working in wildlife conservation, from field research to policy development. I saw a need for a comprehensive program that equips learners with the skills to drive change in this rapidly growing industry. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share some current trends in wildlife conservation that learners can expect to cover in the course? GUEST: Of course, we delve into topics like the impact of climate change on wildlife, the role of technology in conservation, and the increasing importance of public outreach for species recovery. HOST: Those are critical issues indeed. Now, every field has its challenges. What would you say are some of the biggest challenges learners might face in wildlife conservation? GUEST: Well, one major challenge is navigating the complex web of wildlife laws and policies. But the course also prepares learners for this, providing a solid foundation in wildlife law and policy development. HOST: That's reassuring. Looking to the future, what do you see as the biggest opportunities or challenges for wildlife conservation? GUEST: The future holds both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, we have more tools and technology than ever to study and protect wildlife. On the other, we're facing unprecedented threats from habitat loss and climate change. This course prepares learners to meet these challenges head-on. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you for sharing your insights with us today.
