Join hosts Jodhan and Omar as they discuss how art, media, and creativity can be tools for change with award-winning filmmaker Laurel Tamayo and illustrator, visual artist, and climate strategist Valeree Catangay.

Join hosts Omar and Jodhan and guest Bobby Figarotta as we evaluating the US state birds we didn't get to in episode one. Follow along for a fun conversation with lots of new proposed birds and a few keepers.

In this episode, we sit down with Jessica Tantin, Senior Director of Equitable Conservation at the National Audubon Society, to explore what it truly means to build an inclusive future for people and the planet. Jessica shares how she’s helping transform conservation by embedding Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EDIB) principles across Audubon’s programs — from community partnerships to conservation planning.

We dive into the challenges and opportunities of bringing equity into daily practice, the importance of accountability in environmental work, and how conservation organizations can evolve to better reflect and serve local bird and human communities alike. With her thoughtful and grounded leadership style, Jessica offers a powerful look at how connecting strategy, culture, and practice can reshape the conservation movement across the hemisphere.
