In today’s episode I talk to Suzanne Steinert who works on conservation relating to threatened and endangered populations of beluga whales, starting with a unique population of belugas in her backyard in Alaska.

We talk about how a love for travel and an openness to conversation can lead to a journey of exploration and discovery, and how one should never miss an opportunity to experience and reflect upon our natural world.
