Episode Notes
S6E27 - Join us as we dive into the mind of Author & Speech Writer Eduardo Goncalves. He'll ake us on his journey from his top selling novels to how he helped save the Iberian Lynx from extinction. Eduardo Gonçalves has been a speech-writer for British politicians, run a government department in the Middle East, and helped save the world’s most endangered big cat – the Iberian Lynx – from extinction. A former journalist with the BBC, he exposed a major nuclear accident cover-up and secret human radiation experiments. He’s a conservationist who has advised the World Wildlife Fund, and has worked with homelessness charities on both sides of the Atlantic. He has an organic olive and cork farm in Portugal - from where his parents emigrated to the UK during the country’s dictatorship – which became a sanctuary for stray and abandoned cats. In the run-up to the 2015 Paris Climate agreement, he was an influential behind-the-scenes player, hosting Climate Week NYC. In 2013, he donated a kidney to his 9-year-old son. The two went on to win Gold at the British Transplant games 2 years later and set up a support group for families affected by kidney disease. He recently led a major undercover operation to break up Europe’s largest dogfighting crime syndicate, and rescued a tiger cub that was about to be shot by a trophy hunter in an enclosure. Despite a serious illness which has led him to become disabled, he has set up an international campaign to stop trophy hunting of wildlife. His work is supported by some of the world’s biggest stars as well as leading conservationists and African politicians.
