Niall McCann is an explorer, biologist and conservationist who currently serves as the Director of Conservation for National Park Rescue, a direct-action conservation organization that focuses on preventing the slaughter of elephants, rhinos and lions in sub-Saharan Africa.
We talk about:
- giant otters and tapirs
- catching pythons and anacondas
- the roar of a tiger
- and have a deep discussion on the state of conservation in Africa.
