As a conservation biologist, my career is one constantly up against overwhelming odds: to conserve wildlife in the face of global degradation and consequently improve the world's ecosystems. To do so, one needs a very strong mindset that can stand up to the adversity, and work to make the world a better place.
In recent years, I've seen a scary loss of hope among people, who see the world breaking without believing that things can be done to enact change. In this video, I want to give my perspective as a conservation biologist how I maintain hope in a world affected by habitat loss, climate change, and other features of the Anthropocene.
Hope you find this useful, and can find ways to adopt these ideas into your own lives, to make the world better at whatever scale you can.
