72. Great Apes in the Age of the Anthropocene (with Gerry Ellis, Founder of GLOBIO & Host of 'Talking Apes')

Pangolin: The Conservation Podcast

Can you name the five great apes? This week Jack is joined by Gerry Ellis, a wildlife photographer, podcast host and founder of GLOBIO - a non-profit that creates environmental films and provides training for other conservation organisations on how they can share their story. Starting with a chat about his early career and how he came to fall in love with apes, the duo then move on to discuss how great apes are faring in the age of the Anthropocene. They talk about the struggles these amazing creatures face, their complex stories, and how all of us can make a difference to their lives!

Jack also asks Gerry about his time working with Dr Jane Goodall, his love for the nature around him and why he keeps coming back to apes as the focus of his work! This episode takes us from the study sites of Dian Fossey in Rwanda, to the forests of Madagascar.
