Raising youth awareness on in situ conservation is key for nurturing future environmental stewards. Teaching them about protecting species in their natural habitats empowers them to grasp the link between ecosystems, biodiversity, and human welfare.
This realisation sparked a collaborative journey with Repton school Dubai to create a unique podcast with one aim; to let the youth narrate our conservation stories in their language, filled with passion and emotion aimed at inspiring their peers.
Your feedback matters, so tune in, share your thoughts, and let’s inspire the next generation.
At Conservation Calls, we’ve always look at some incredible species supported by the Fund, exploring why we focus on certain ones and the vital roles they play in our ecosystems.
But this time, with the help of the Repton Podcast crew, we’re shifting the spotlight to the inspiring individuals behind the scenes.
