John Goodrich is the Chief Scientist for Panthera, an organisation that is leading the way in global wild cat conservation science and strategy.
John is acknowledged as one of the world’s preeminent tiger biologists. He has over 30 years of experience in wildlife research and conservation focused on Siberian tigers and other large carnivores.
While living in Siberia, John directed research and conservation projects on Siberian tigers in the Russian Far East, including the world’s longest running radio telemetry-based tiger research effort - tracking more than 60 wild tigers since 1992. John's work has led to our greater understanding of tigers' social structure, land use, food habits and relationships with other species—including humans.
In this podcast, John chats with us about his life and work, the state of tiger welfare and conservation around the world, the enigmatic and almost mythical position that tigers hold in our culture, his lifelong passion for conservation and the incredible and magical experiences he had of seeing tigers in the wild first hand.
