Brady Robinson – Saving Cochamó, the Yosemite of South America, and How Outdoor Recreation is Key to Conservation

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, June 19, 2024 • Duration 01:21:28

Climber and conservationist Brady Robinson joins us for our fourth episode of Last Wild Places. Brady worked for 11 years as the executive director of the Access Fund, a non-profit rock climbing advocacy group that works to keep climbing areas open in the United States. He was founding chair of the Outdoor Alliance, a powerful coalition of outdoor organizations for protecting public lands, and he was a former executive director of the Conservation Alliance, which mobilizes the resources of American businesses to support organizations that defend and restore wildlands.

He also has a long connection to Chile and Patagonia. In 2001, he set up an Outward Bound program there; he has worked for Tompkins Conservation, coordinating their international fundraising and strategic planning efforts in the region; and he is currently the director of philanthropy at the Freyja Foundation (www.freyjafoundation.org), which among their international projects have conservation initiatives in Chilean and Argentine Patagonia.

Brady shares with us insights from his experiences leading outdoor and conservation organizations, we discuss the outdoor recreation community and its role in conservation success, and we hear about an historic international campaign launched in May 2024 that seeks to raise US$78 million to purchase and protect a massive 133,000-hectare wilderness area in Cochamó, Chilean Patagonia.

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, June 4, 2024 • Duration 56:18

The founder and president of the Global Penguin Society (www.globalpenguinsociety.org), Pablo García Borboroglu joins us for our third episode of Last Wild Places. Pablo's conservation efforts have helped protect 13 million hectares (32 million acres) of marine and land habitat for penguins worldwide, including the massive Patagonia Azul (Blue Patagonia) UNESCO biosphere reserve in his home country of Argentina that protects the world's largest colony of Magellanic penguins. He is also a marine biologist for Argentina’s National Research Council and a professor for the University of Washington, and has coordinated the development of eight management plans for protected areas in Chile and Argentina. His large body of work over the past three decades won him the 2023 Indianapolis Prize, the world's top award for animal conservation.

Pablo talks to us about how the human connection with penguins helps the wider conservation movement; the major threats facing different penguins species today; and the activism, scientific and educational endeavors his organization are making to protect marine environments.

Monday, April 22, 2024 • Duration 51:57

In the first episode of Last Wild Places, our guest is Amy Lewis, CEO of the WILD Foundation (https://wild.org/), an international environmental NGO that for 50 years has been mobilizing international coalitions for the protection of wilderness through the World Wilderness Congress, the Nature Needs Half campaign and other initiatives.
