Episode 405 - Ben Chapple || What If Wildlife Tourists Stopped Visiting Africa Tomorrow? Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

Ben Chapple, a PhD student with the Zoological Society of London, joins Robbie to discuss his thesis of the effects of climate change and tourism on wildlife in Africa - and wild dogs in Kenya, specifically. A non-hunter who’s not a fan of hunting ‘for fun’, he’s the perfect guy to have this conversation with - about the reality of conservation work in Africa and how hunting fits in there and around the world.
