This week we look into a bunch of fun facts that you may or may not know and take a solo trip to the middle of West Virginia!

Auzim foarte des faptul că avem o țară frumoasă, însă realizăm oare cu adevărat importanța României la nivel european și nu numai?! Un episod despre educatia ecologica prin fotografie de natura, peisaj si film documentar, arii naturale protejate si Parcuri Nationale din Romania, despre proiectul Romania Salbatica, dar si despre modul în care natura ne mulțumește că o respectăm. Despre invitat: Dan Dinu, Fotograf, Fondator Romania Salbatica Dan practică fotografia de mai bine de 20 de ani si are numeroase nominalizări sau premii la concursuri de specialitate și peste 70 de lucrări acceptate în saloane de fotografie naționale și internaționale. Este artist al Federației Internaționale de Artă Fotografică cu distincția AFIAP și a fost până acum membru în juriu la mai multe concursuri foto, printre care Milvus Photo Contest, cel mai important concurs de fotografie de natură din România. În ultimii ani a avut ocazia să colaboreze în proiecte importante de fotografie, cum ar fi Wild Wonders of Europe sau Rewilding Europe și este fotograf colaborator al WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), cea mai mare organizație de protecția mediului din lume. În 2010 a inițiat România Sălbatică, cel mai mare proiect de fotografie de natură creat până acum în țară. Despre: România Sălbatică. Cel mai complex film documentar despre natura din țara noastră. Filmul România Sălbatică este cel mai complex documentar dedicat naturii din țara noastră și aduce filmări în premieră și povești unice despre biodiversitatea României. Este 100% autentic și a fost dezvoltat în mai bine de 10 ani de o echipă de producție 100% autohtonă. Ideea a plecat de la Dan Dinu și Cosmin Dumitrache care au fost sprijiniți în tot acest timp de numeroși specialiști din zona conservării, de ONG-uri de mediu și de parcurile naționale și naturale de la noi.

This episode was recorded before the onset of COVID-19, and has been amended to reflect current guidelines and research. Most of us can remember one time or another when our parents strongly encouraged us to “Go outside!” While they probably wanted us to burn off some kinetic energy built up throughout the school day, studies continue to show that outdoor playtime is ripe with benefits for growing children.  Even under orders to shelter in place, spending time outdoors (at a safe distance) can be extremely beneficial to both children and adults who have been cooped up inside. Not only does time spent outside improve mental development and spatial recognition, it also boosts mood, clarity of focus, and even wards away nearsightedness. If you don’t have a yard, don’t despair; getting to a nearby park or going hiking offer great opportunities to soak in all the benefits that nature has to offer!   Thanks for listening!

It started 11 years ago and became one of the biggest conservation communication initiatives in the world. To date, the project can boast reaching 800 million people worldwide with incredible images ranging from Scandanavian wolves to sperm whales in the Azores.

Local biologist, Suzanne Akerman, joins the podcast for another great conversation. Suzanne spends her days sharing her passion for animals with visitors at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium for the Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater. When she is not performing in shows or scooping poop, Suzanne is chair of Drinking for Conservation, a committee dedicated to conserving wildlife through fun social gatherings. Her hobbies include reading, solving crossword puzzles, trivia, dancing, and occasional modeling. Suzanne holds a B.A in English and an M.A. in Education from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, and a M.A. in Biology from Miami University. She first talked with GCP last year, on episode 16. 2:10 – Justin shares where listeners can find them online, Scott shares the octopus story out of Australia, and they discuss the importance of people not messing with wild animals. Suzanne shares how people can participate in beach walks with the Point Defiance Zoo, what a naturalist means in terms of those working at the zoo, and gave updates on the new stuff happening there.

Justin talks about other ways the zoo gives back to the community, Suzanne talks about the sloth cookies she brought, and they dive into coaster questions. 30:09 – Suzanne gives her thoughts on if there was a battle between a monkey and a shark who would win, the difference between a monkey and an ape, and weird conversations she has at the zoo with her fellow zoologists. She talks about how she would eat a platypus, different cultures that eat the head of animals, and what animal she would choose to help her survive in a zombie apocalypse. 43:24 – Suzanne shares the difference between ravens and crows, where people around the PNW can see ravens, and Justin talks about his crow friends. He talks about the different presents the crows have brought him and Michelle, Suzanne talks about University of Washington studies on crow intelligence, and where people can find her at the zoo. She talks about her favorite animals to work with at the zoo, how dangerous sloth nails are, and how people can get zoo memberships.

My guest today is Pete Cairns. Pete is a professional photographer and the founding director of The Wild Media Foundation, a social enterprise, which includes initiatives such as SCOTLAND: the Big Picture – an organisation that informs, inspires and influences fresh thinking around the potential for a wilder Scotland. He also co-founded the Wild Wonders of Europe project, which brought together 70 of the continent’s most talented nature photographers and sent them on 145 assignments across 48 European countries to gather more than 200,000 stunning images, showcasing Europe’s rich diversity and to promote conservation as a force for good.

One this episode they guys are joined with Suzanne Akerman. Suzanne spends her days sharing her passion for animals with visitors at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium where she works as a staff biologist for the Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater. When she is not performing in shows or scooping poop, Suzanne is chair of Drinking for Conservation, a committee dedicated to conserving wildlife through fun social gatherings. Her hobbies include reading, solving crossword puzzles, trivia, dancing, and occasional modeling. Suzanne holds a B.A in English and an M.A. in Education from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, and will earn her M.A. in Biology from Miami University in December of 2018. The show kicks off with conversation on how Suzanne and Justin met through karaoke in an apartment complex where they section off studio rooms to use for private karaoke rooms. Susanne then dives into her career as a Staff Biologist at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium and how she got started with them as a volunteer in 2002. She talks about doing stage shows at the zoo and what made her decide to study zoology. 15:49 – Suzanne talks about exotic animal trade, the zoo recommending that people don't buy exotic animals, and how breeders of cats and dogs at times make people write essays before they allow them to buy their new pet. She verifies that ligers are real animals and the genetic problems that come up with breeding them. She mentions that good organizations and zoos don't promote ligers because they want to focus their efforts on breeding animals that need to be reproduced. 26:35 – Suzanne covers the American Association of Zoo Keepers and the Point Defiance AAZK chapter that holds monthly Drinking for Conservation events. She explains that all of the funds raised at each event are donated to the organization that supports the endangered species they are highlighting that month. She explains where people that would like to attend can find them on Facebook. Talk then turns to otters and how their cute, cuddly, playful, act is just a just a front. 44:24 – Suzanne tells the guys about Northwest Trek, her internship there and her 7 hour interview that got her the internship on the spot. She covers Point Defiance building their new aquarium that will open at the end of the summer and people being able to attend the zoo during their renovation.

The show comes to an end with discussion over Sasquatch and invasive species in Florida including snakes, monkeys, and gutter gators. Thanks Suzanne for joining the guys for an insightful look at what it's like to be a staff biologist!! Special Guest: Suzanne Akerman.
