Summary
After sharing the stage with Brent Coverdale at the 2025 BirdLife South Africa Owl Awards, it felt only fitting to sit down and continue the conversation — not under the spotlight, but behind the scenes. In part one of two episodes, we focuses on the work behind the work - what it really takes to protect threatened species like Blue Swallows, vultures, cranes, cheetah and elephants. Brent shares what his role involves day to day, from field monitoring and aerial surveys to management plans and decision-making that quietly shapes the future of our wildlife. This is an honest, accessible look at conservation beyond the surface - perfect for young conservationists, birders and photographers wanting to understand how impact truly happens.
