Our guest today is Vianna von Weyhausen, a remarkable wildlife conservationist whose work stretches from the plains of Africa to the forests of India, to the charitable foundations of the US.
Vianna launched and runs Conservation Solutions International, which focuses on the transformational role of canine units in anti-poaching and wildlife trafficking. Her dogs are trained to work with rangers, detecting poachers and protecting endangered species.
Vianna shares her encounters with rhinos, elephants, and hippos, highlighting the brutality of killing and trading parts of endangered species in Africa, India and beyond, for lucrative financial rewards. Some individuals who specialize in wildlife trafficking are increasingly involved in human trafficking, also.
She advocates for anti-trafficking initiatives, and describes her successful fundraising campaigns with supporters and foundations who are passionate about conservation work. And she talks about how we can all help.
