Description
Today Jack is joined by Dr Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, Uganda’s first wildlife vet and author of 'Walking with Gorillas'! She is here to tell us about her journey from a little girl who would play with the neighbours Ververt Monkey, to a world leading One Health scientist who has worked with some of the absolute best in the business (including Dr. Jane Goodall!) The duo also talk about Gladys's organisation, Conservation Through Public Health; the essentiality of interdisciplinary working; the importance of working with communities and government stakeholders; and how tourism has changed since the COVID-19 Pandemic!
