What drives someone to become a conservationist after a career in architecture? Neel Zaver chats with Rosa Mira, a leading conservationist from Colombia, about her journey from designing zoo exhibits to protecting the cotton-top tamarind. This episode explores the challenges of climate change, deforestation, and illegal pet trade, which threaten these adorable primates. Rosa Mira shares how Proyecto Titi is making strides in conservation by creating forest corridors and engaging local communities.
You'll hear about innovative projects like eco mochilas, turning plastic bags into crochet bags, and plush toys that provide alternative incomes for locals. Through puppet shows and community engagement, the organisation educates young Colombians about the importance of preserving their unique wildlife. The episode sheds light on the interconnectedness of conservation efforts and how small actions can lead to significant changes. It's a heartfelt conversation that leaves you pondering: How can you contribute to conservation efforts in your own community?
