S2 E1: “Together for Conservation” in the Amazon

WCS Wild Audio launches its second season in conversation with Mariana Varese, the Peru-based director of WCS’s Amazon Landscapes program. Mariana describes a new initiative, “Together for Conservation,” that seeks to conserve biodiversity while preventing environmental crime in the Amazon. The project brings Indigenous Peoples and local communities together with journalists, private companies, and civil society groups to develop conservation solutions that can be expanded or replicated across the Amazon.
