    Ian Redmond: Gorillas, Elephants and 50 Years in African Conservation | Animals & Us
    Jul 6 2026
    Ian Redmond describes himself as a naturalist by birth, fascinated by nature from childhood despite growing up in the English countryside far from the tropical wildlife he dreamed of. A chance letter to Dian Fossey in 1976 changed everything: he arrived at Karisoke Research Center in the Virunga Mountains as a research assistant and dog's body, encountering gorillas on his second day in the field. Over the next decades, he witnessed both profound loss, the murder of his friend Digit by poachers, and Fossey's own killing, and remarkable triumph: the mountain gorilla population rising from 250 to over 1,000. He later discovered elephants visiting caves on Mount Elgon and spent years building trust with wild elephants underground. Today, he channels his decades of field experience into international conservation policy, believing that personal encounters with wild animals inspire the protection they desperately need.Ian Redmond is a conservationist and naturalist who has spent more than 50 years protecting gorillas and elephants across Africa. He worked as a research assistant to Dian Fossey at Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda, later introduced Sir David Attenborough to wild gorillas, and has since advised governments and led international conservation initiatives.⚠️ Content advisory: this episode discusses grief, which some listeners may find distressing.If you need support, you're not alone — help is available:• Lifeline (24/7 crisis support): 13 11 14 · lifeline.org.au🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 A Naturalist from Birth: Childhood in Yorkshire and Malaysia07:07 Herding Reindeer in the Cairngorms10:02 The Letter That Changed Everything: Writing to Dian Fossey17:09 Arriving at Karisoke in '76: Into the Virunga Mountains24:30 First Days in the Field: Confronting Poachers29:04 Meeting Group 4: Gorillas and Nose Prints39:34 Understanding Gorilla Society and Safety45:54 The Death of Digit and Diane Fossey's Murder51:36 David Attenborough and Life on Earth57:51 Cave-Dwelling Elephants on Mount Elgon1:04:04 Underground with Elephants: Trust and Conversation1:12:32 The Three Ps: How Individuals Can Protect Wildlife🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode.📌 RESOURCES MENTIONED:Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International: https://www.gorillafund.org/The Gorilla Doctors: https://www.gorilladoctors.org/Born Free Foundation: https://www.bornfree.org.uk/Stop Ecocide: https://www.stopecocide.earth/━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Welcome.We're glad you found your way here.Kintsugi Heroes was created from a simple belief: every person has a story worth sharing, and sometimes the story we need to hear arrives exactly when we need it most.Our name comes from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold.

  • Sharks for Kids founder Jillian Morris: eye contact with apex predators and rewriting the shark narrative

    Sharks for Kids founder Jillian Morris: eye contact with apex predators and rewriting the shark narrative
    Jun 22 2026
    Jillian grew up obsessed with the ocean and marine life, sparked by an encounter with a nurse shark at age 8 in Florida. As she became a marine scientist, she noticed a stark disconnect: people hated and feared sharks intensely despite knowing nothing about them. Rather than accept this narrative, she committed to becoming a voice for these animals, diving with them, documenting their behaviour, and founding Sharks for Kids to teach children facts instead of fear. Now living in Bimini with her family, she witnesses daily how education reshapes attitudes. What drives her is not changing minds into love, but into respect and understanding that sharks, like all species, have irreplaceable value in ocean health.Jillian Morris is a marine scientist and shark researcher based in Bimini, Bahamas, where she has spent two decades diving with and studying sharks across species. She founded Sharks for Kids, a free global education nonprofit that has reached students in over 80 countries, to shift how the next generation understands and values sharks in ocean ecosystems.In this Animals & Us conversation with Natalie Stockdale, Jillian shares the story behind the moments below.🎙️ IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Sharks have been in Earth's oceans for over 400 million years and are perfectly adapted to their role; understanding this ancient evolutionary success can shift how we see them.• Education in childhood, grounded in facts rather than fear, genuinely reshapes attitudes and behaviour across generations, not just toward sharks, but toward ocean conservation broadly.🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 A lifelong obsession: Growing up by the water03:08 First spark: The nurse shark encounter at age 805:04 Why sharks?

  • Red Dust in Your Veins: Dr Rick Fenney on Veterinary Life, Loss, and Belonging in the Outback

    Red Dust in Your Veins: Dr Rick Fenney on Veterinary Life, Loss, and Belonging in the Outback
    Jun 9 2026
    Rick Fenney recounts how a reluctant choice to study veterinary science in 1966 led to a life of adventure across Australia's most remote regions. After failing second-year vet school in Brisbane, he was driven to complete his degree and repay a government cadetship. As a young government vet in the Kimberley and Pilbara, he improvised surgeries in hospital mortuaries and treated everything from cattle to circus animals. His encounter with Red Dog, a free-spirited kelpie who belonged to everyone and no one, became the catalyst for writing a four-book memoir series that preserves the story of outback life and his own journey. Now in his seventies, Rick continues building businesses, promoting his books, and preparing the definitive Red Dog account for publication.Dr Rick Fenney is a Western Australian veterinarian, author, and businessman who has spent over 50 years in remote Australia. He is best known for his deep connection to Red Dog, a legendary red kelpie of the Pilbara, and has written a four-book memoir series linking his life stages to the red dogs who shaped him. He runs multiple vet clinics, pastoral stations, and an aquarium across Western Australia.In this Animals & Us conversation with Natalie Stockdale, Dr shares the story behind the moments below.🎙️ IN THIS CONVERSATION:• Failing at something important early in life-like Rick's second-year vet school-can be the most formative success, teaching resilience and maturity that propels later achievement.• Rural veterinarians and farmers understand animal welfare better than urban advocates because they treat animals as animals and respect their essential nature rather than humanising them.• Writing with strict principles of truth,…🕒 CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction: Margie and the Red Dog Legacy00:01:26 Albany Childhood: Fishing, Freedom, and First Red Dog00:05:10 The Accidental Vet: How a Chance Interview Changed Everything00:08:27 Vet School in Queensland: Failure, Maturity, and Horse Manure00:12:29 Derby to Port Hedland: Early Career Loss and Improvisation00:23:36 The Chimpanzee: A Daughter Saved, A Monkey Treated00:28:01 Red Dog Enters the Picture: The Wanderer Arrives00:36:34 The Weight of Euthanasia: Responsibility, Guilt, Legacy00:40:51 The Four-Book Structure: Life Eras and Red Dogs Aligned00:51:15 Creative Tension: Building Multiple Businesses and Staying Alive01:00:07 Brain-to-Brain: Telepathy, Animals, and Intuitive Communication01:14:06 The Desert Vet: Television, Public Life, and Ongoing Work🎧 If this story moved you, follow Kintsugi Heroes in your podcast app so you never miss an episode.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Welcome.We're glad you found your way here.Kintsugi Heroes was created from a simple belief: every person has a story worth sharing, and sometimes the story we need to hear arrives exactly when we need it most.Our name comes from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold.
