About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast! Today, we're talking with Dr. Jane Smith, who's here to tell us about an exciting new course: the Certificate Programme in Plastic Pollution Impact on Wildlife. Dr. Smith, can you tell us what inspired you to create this programme? GUEST: Absolutely! I've seen firsthand how plastic pollution affects wildlife, and I wanted to create a comprehensive programme that covers marine debris, microplastics, and wildlife entanglement. HOST: That sounds fascinating. Can you share any personal experiences or insights related to the course topic? GUEST: Sure. I've conducted research on seabirds and found that many of them have plastic in their stomachs. It's a startling reminder of how pervasive this issue is. HOST: That is alarming. Let's talk about current industry trends. What are some of the biggest challenges in this field right now? GUEST: One major challenge is the lack of standardised monitoring methods for plastic pollution. We're working to address this by teaching practical skills in data analysis and research methodologies. HOST: That's great to hear. Now, what about the future of this area or industry? What do you hope to see in the next few years? GUEST: I hope to see more collaboration between governments, industries, and conservation organisations to tackle this issue. We all have a role to play in reducing plastic pollution. HOST: Well said. Dr. Smith, thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights on the Certificate Programme in Plastic Pollution Impact on Wildlife. It's clear that this programme will equip learners with the knowledge and skills they need to make a real difference. GUEST: Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure.
