This Weeks Questions:

Cameron: Hello, right now I am studying to become a biologist and have been wanting to do some conservation work. Any tips/advice on getting started with conservation? I have no clue where to start lol. Thanks!

Jared: I’ve heard one of you say that all animals have a right to live and I admire that mentality. Would you say that also applies to pests, parasitic life, or even viruses that are harmful to humans? Is there a reason the broader ecosystem needs these even though they’re harmful to humans?

Julian: Where did the name for Alveus Sanctuary come from? Do you remember how you felt when you realized the sanctuary could become a reality and not just a dream?

Ty: I am 24 and will be starting my first year of college in September. Do either of you have any helpful tips/resources that aided your college experience? For context, I am majoring in Zoology with a minor in Environmental Science. Thank you :)

Darkrow: Why do people sometimes justify harming the environment by claiming humans have the right to control nature, without trying to understand other reasons that might help both sides, like those of people who work to protect the environment?
