Good question Sam, and thanks for the endorsement of the Mongabay Newscast, Garth, this week's show I think is a good advert for what we're doing:
*Is your drone stressing the wildlife out?* In this episode we discuss the increasing use of drones by wildlife lovers, researchers, and businesses, how that might be stressing animals out, and how drone hobbyists can make a meaningful contribution to science while avoiding the harassment of wildlife: https://news.mongabay.com/2018/07/audio-how-to-use-drones-without-stressing-wildlife/ Other podcasts I like and were not already mentioned include Speak up for Blue (marine science) Inquiring Minds (wide ranging science interviews) Sea Change Radio (sustainability) Living Planet (global environment) and For the Wild (interviews with scientists & envi advocates).
