This Week in Conservation for July 6, 2018

This week we again are joined with Jim Weinpress. We first discuss how a honey badger went up and attacked a large South African Oryx. Apparently even after being butted and tossed, the honey badger kept at it. Eventually it walked away not injured, except maybe its pride. We then discuss this week's social media storm of an American woman posing with the giraffe she shot and killed in South Africa. Is trophy hunting helping or hurting conservation? We then chat about saildrones from NOAA, the endagered Humbolt Marten and most shocking is the US plan to allow the killing of the critically-endangered Red Wolf. Show notes are HERE.
