Nat Geo Explorers Pau Villanueva, Keshab Gogoi & Astrid A Andersson @ Eaton Radio HK 2023.05.30

Today for World Environment Day, we would like to highlight a conversation held last week at Eaton Radio between three regional National Geographic Explorers. The Explorers are Pau Villanueva, a photo- journalist from Phillipines exploring stories of the intersectionality of queer and cultural identity in indigenous communities that have suffered from displacement, loss of ancestral land, and conflict, Keshab Gogoi, a conservationist from India whose works in the ecology of large carnivores (lions and cheetahs) and their conservation in multiuse human-dominated landscapes & Astrid A Andersson, an educator and researcher based here in Hong Kong whose research focuses on wildlife trade and the critically endangered yellow-crested cockatoo. The three, fresh off their week- long workshops and Spotlight event, speak about their unique practices, co-existence between humans and animals, animals and their environments and all things that shape their perspectives in the field.A truly cross cultural and cross- disciplinary discussion!
