Pelecanus Radio

We were lucky enough to be take part in the Smithsonian’s Earth Optimism initiative's Earth Day/Week/Month events by hosting a live discussion about conservation communications. Here is the discussion in its entirety from Friday April 23 2021. This was a deep dive into the process of creating environmental communications content for the sake of showing innovative conservation futures. The founders of Pelecanus, a conservation-based collective committed to telling these types of stories and demonstrating optimism through science, sit down with professionals from Defenders of Wildlife and one of our National Monuments to discuss cutting-edge conservation and the role communications play in helping humanity thrive together on our shared planet. Speakers: Austin Parker, MA – President & co-founder Taylor Parker, Ph.D. – Secretary & co-founder Andrew Rosales, M.Ed. – Science Education Coordinator at Cabrillo National Monument Megan Joyce – Digital Content Associate, Defenders of Wildlife Special Thanks to
