Welcome to Episode #6 of Planet People! In this episode, we introduce Amber Becerra, founder of Wildlife Protection Alliance and former CEO of Marine Mammal Care Center. We take you behind the scenes with Amber to learn more about her advocacy work and the challenges she faces as a conservationist. From rebuilding the Marine Mammal Care Center and raising millions of dollars to aid marine mammals’ welfare to pushing for stronger protections for these animals worldwide, her journey has been both inspiring and enlightening. Amber, the dedicated leader of the Wildlife Protection Alliance, with the slogan #RespectTheWildlife, is at the heart of what we stand for at Planet People. Her experience raising awareness for coastal wildlife in California, and now globally, is what this planet needs now more than ever.
