On this weeks episode we speak to the director of Osa Conservation, Andy Whitworth! Andy has worked across the Neotropics for more than 10 years and is currently focusing his work on conserving the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica while also supporting projects in Peru. Andy shared his thoughts on conservation in Costa Rica, why it’s such a biodiversity hotspot and how climate change in particular is such a major threat to biodiversity across the Neotropics. Finally Andy shared his field story with us, and needless to say anytime a story involves caimans, it’s a banger!
