For the final episode of season two, we are joined by Christine Wilkinson, a Postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley and a Co-founder of Black Mammalogists Week. She takes a dive into how modern conservation is influenced by its historical roots in hunting and farming, how to navigate gender inequity during one's career, and actionable ways that conservation organizations can increase diversity and support women. Additionally, Christine talks about her role in creating Black Mammalogists Week, as well as the importance and impact of mentorship in creating opportunities for women in conservation.   Hosted by Anne Turner   Wistling Out Chilling Out by Agnese Valmaggia Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/6277-wistling-out-chilling-out License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
