Synopsis

In this Conservation Conversations episode we talk with Dr. Arnaud Desbiez, president of ICAS - Instituto de Conservacao Animais Silvestres (Institute of the Conservation of Wild Animals). Dr. Desbiez has worked in conservation for decades, but in the last 20 years he has lived and worked in the Pantanal region of Brazil focused on the conservation of Giant Armadillos and Giant Anteaters. These two programs, found at www.giantarmadillo.org and www.giantanteater.org, are doing everything it takes to save these species and this amazing region's habitat. His passion for these species, and all wildlife is so incredibly inspiring. Enjoy!
