Is the conservation movement being as effective as we need to be?  

This is a moment in time when so much is on the line, and we need to act not just boldly and quickly, but wisely and strategically.

To discuss all of this and more, my guest today is Mitch Friedman, founder and Executive Director of Conservation Northwest, and the author of a brand new memoir: “Conservation Confidential: A Wild Path to a Less Polarizing and More Effective Activism.”

Conservation Confidential is a highly engaging story about Mitch’s activism journey and a provocative exploration of his philosophies around what effective activism and strategy looks like.

I found myself both agreeing and arguing with those philosophies, which, alongside some charismatic storytelling, made for a great read.

I’m so excited to speak with Mitch today, and I hope you’ll let me know what you think of this conversation.
