This week, Mariann talks to Leif Cocks about the foundation of The Orangutan Project, what it means to create a survivable environment for orangutans, the link between feminine empowerment and conservation, and why hope is over-rated.
The Orangutan Project was established in 1998 by world-renowned orangutan expert, Leif Cocks. Leif is a passionate campaigner for orangutans and has been a key player in developing conservation plans for their protection and survival, including the first ever successful reintroduction of a zoo-born orangutan into the wild.
A small population biologist and curator by trade; Leif has a Masters of Science studying orangutans and has worked for over 30 years to improve the welfare of orangutans in captivity and secure their survival in the wild. He lectures at universities, is a seasoned public speaker and has published three books, and several papers on orangutans in peer-reviewed journals. Leif is President and Founder of The Orangutan Project, President of International Elephant Project, President of International Tiger Project and Vice President of Orang Utan Republik Foundation.
In his latest book, ‘Finding Our Humanity’, Leif delves deeper into what the great apes, our tribal past, conservation and a more philosophical approach to life can teach us about our humanity and presents an alternative perspective and deeper understanding of our place in the world. Available on Amazon.
In the intro to this episode Mariann talks about the goings on at the recent Good Food Institute‘s conference in San Francisco; all the plant-based meat substitutes on display and their questionable names; the surprising innovations of John Harvey Kellogg; and the incredible story of vegan chef Omari McQueen who also happens to be eleven years old. Later in the episode, Mariann brings us more Rising Anxieties.
