As part of the Remembering Wildlife podcast series and for the 10th anniversary book, this episode shines a light on the most trafficked mammal in the world: the pangolin.

In this episode, host Amy Turner speaks first with Lisa Hywood, founder of the Tikki Hywood Foundation in Zimbabwe, whose decades of groundbreaking work in rescue, rehabilitation, and release has shaped global pangolin conservation.

Then we hear from Dr. Claire Okell, founder and CEO of the Pangolin Project in Kenya, who is leading pioneering efforts to protect the newly rediscovered giant ground pangolin and its forest ecosystem.

Together, their stories reveal the highs, lows, and immense hope of working with one of the planet’s most secretive and endangered species - and how Remembering Wildlife is helping to give pangolins a fighting chance.

A wonderful story of hope for pangolins with those working directly on the ground to protect this incredible species - we hope you enjoy listening!

As part of the Remembering Wildlife podcast series, and to celebrate 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife, this special episode takes you behind the lens with some of the world’s leading wildlife photographers. From leopards in Kruger to elephants at Victoria Falls, their images have helped raise over £1.23 million GBP / $1.58 million USD for frontline conservation and brought global attention to threatened species.

Join founder of Remembering Wildlife, Margot Raggett MBE in this episode plus world class wildlife photographers Adam Bannister, Federico Veronesi, Will Burrard-Lucas, Tristan Dicks and Todd Gustafson as they share the stories behind their most powerful photographs - the moments in the field that became part of the Remembering Wildlife movement.

In this episode, we are joined by Crista Cullen MBE, Olympic gold medalist (Hockey) and founder of the Kenyan-based Tofauti Foundation. From the heights of elite sport to being at the core of community‑driven conservation, Crista’s journey is fascinating.

In this episode, we explore how she leveraged the discipline, teamwork, and resilience of elite sport to drive real change on the ground. Crista walks us through several of Tofauti’s defining projects: the “10 % Fence Plan”, “Crabs Alive”, and the Sand‑Dam Initiative, each designed to foster long‑term sustainability and community empowerment in the Kenyan communities she works alongside.

Beyond the projects themselves, Crista shares a rare behind‑the‑scenes glimpse into the practical realities of creating enduring change - from navigating cultural dynamics and resource constraints to building trust within local communities.
