E12: Anchoring hope – education delivering conservation

Whales-online speaks again with Courtney Vail, who is the Caribbean Programme Leader for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society. We didn’t feel like we had exhausted the dimensions of Courtney’s philosophy in our last interview with her. So, we have interviewed her again, but this time about the role of education in delivering conservation.

Courtney takes us on a challenging journey to stop the drive hunt, capture and slaughter of pods, for the selection of a few dolphins for the captivity industry around the world. She demonstrates how this information can be made public, without extinguishing hope and optimism, but instead instilling personal action.
