ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We’re hard at work on Season 4 of Face-Off. And we have some great episodes in the works, but while we’re in production I wanted to share an episode from a different podcast that I thought you might enjoy….
When people discuss environmental solutions, they often mention its impact on our lives. This can include ensuring parts of the planet remain inhabitable in the face of extreme temperatures, maintaining biodiversity, and preventing the oxidation of our oceans. But there’s another case to be made: Investing in our planet makes sense economically.
Conservation can deliver high returns on investment. According to the International Monetary Fund, every dollar spent on conservation and other green projects may yield up to seven dollars within five years. This is because of jobs created, food systems improved, and a reduction in greenhouse gases, among other outcomes.
On this episode of The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, we speak with Jody Allen, a philanthropist, businesswoman, and conservationist. She cares deeply about protecting wildlife and our planet. Allen is also the owner of the Seattle Seahawks. Host Zainab Salbi, who co-founded Daughters for Earth with Allen, talks with Allen about the interplay between philanthropy and conservation.
We also speak with two African wildlife conservations: Dr. Shivani Bhalla, founder of Ewaso Lions in Kenya, and Dr. Moreangels Mbizah, founder of Wildlife Conservation Action in Zimbabwe. They share what community-led conservation strategies look like and what they have seen work best to decrease human-wildlife conflict.
