Into The Wild

Nerds welcome to the first episode of our 2026 mini series, Lost In Sri Lanka.

We start by unpacking the rucksack of wildlife tourism through it's pro's & con's. What does it mean to be a responsible wildlife tourist? What are the impacts of wildlife tourism if not properly managed? And how can we properly center a community to ensure tourism stays at the heart of the people? These questions all answered by people on the ground in this first episode.

Guest appearances: Chandika Jayarante, Suchithra Hettie & Dilsiri Welikala.

Nerd this week's news takes some critical thinking so put your nuance hats on! A new national park in Chile has all the good feels on paper but when we struggle to hear how indigenous people of the area feel, it gives us a bit of an ick. Africa's Elephant populations are all over the place from Botswana to Sudan, so how do we manage their conservation? And finally a story that shocked both Ryan & Nadia, stolen Peregrine falcons end up in the UAE....WHAT??
