Lions with Dr Amy Dickman

INTO THE WILD IS BACK!

Nature nerds worry no more, I (Ryan) have enjoyed my month of & now we are back to bring you weekly episodes of chat all about wildlife, the planet & everything that lives on it. 

Lions. Probably the most well known animal on the planet. Majestic, powerful, adorable & the symbol of a king. Quite frankly it's embarrassing it's taken me this long to chat about them BUT here we are & this week I joined by Lion expert, conservationist & founder of Ruaha Carnivore Project, Dr Amy Dickman.

Amy has dedicated her life work to protecting & conserving wildlife so I was super excited to grab some time to get to talk to her. Amy leaps into the world of Lions telling me all about how the live, what they eat & most importantly, why she loves them. Amy & I also discuss more complex topics, & two that Amy openly discusses a lot, which is human/wildlife conflict & the discussion around trophy hunting.
