Fighting Extinction in the Field: A Conversation with Two North Carolina Extinction Biologists

Fighting Extinction in the Field: A Conversation with Two North Carolina Extinction Biologists

In the final episode of our extinction series, we chatted with two extinction biologists, Hope Sutton and Sara Schweitzer, who work for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. Sara is the assistant chief and wildlife diversity program director and Hope is the eastern wildlife diversity supervisor. We discussed their challenges in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in Asheville and their triumphs in the successful rehabilitation of some of the more than 100 endangered animals under their purview! While their work is field-focused, they remind us that the stories told about the animals are extremely important to influence public support for the species.

For more on Sara and Hope, go to Ncwildlife.org, where the organization publishes quarterly reports.
