“There are people in this world that are doing good and are fighting the good fight...together we will save the world.” A needed reminder from Episode 207 of the Adventures in Learning podcast and @wild-tomorrow.bsky.social . Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... #HopeInAction #Conservation

Why dehorn rhinos? Rhino horn is keratin (like our fingernails). When done by trained vets, dehorning can reduce financial incentive for poachers. It's a short-term tool paired with security, ranger patrols, habitat protection, & community partnership. youtu.be/B6Q6oESpxzA #RhinoConservation
