You asked, and we delivered— is back with a Bonus Episode!🐢🥳

After a successful eight-episode run, we’re returning with a special two-part conversation featuring accomplished Indian Scientist and Sea Turtle Conservationist Dr. Kartik Shanker from Dakshin Foundation.

This episode begins with the marvel of the Arribada, but quickly veers into the complexities of sea turtle conservation — exploring lesser-known threats, the contentious issue of harvesting sea turtle eggs and meat, and the urgent need to decolonise sea turtle conservation.

It’s a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional perspectives and pushes us to rethink conservation beyond the familiar. Are you ready to question what you know? 🤔Tune in now!
