Hi there. Nick here from Conservation Careers, and welcome to the podcast.
How can we restore biodiversity while balancing the needs of people and wildlife? And what can large carnivores teach us about coexistence and environmental harmony?
Today’s guest is Jonny Hanson, environmental social scientist, conservationist, and author of Living with Lynx: Sharing Landscapes with Big Cats, Wolves, and Bears.
Jonny brings a unique perspective to conservation, blending natural and social sciences, peace-building techniques, and his experiences across Western Europe and North America.
In this episode, we explore the fascinating topic of large carnivore reintroductions, their ecological and symbolic impacts, and the challenges of coexistence. Jonny shares his innovative approaches to conservation, lessons from his career journey, and practical advice for aspiring conservationists.
It’s a thought-provoking, multidisciplinary, and inspiring podchat.
Enjoy!

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
