186 – Dr Jake Owens – Giant Panda Conservation
With the release of IMAX’s “Pandas 3D” recently, I talk to Dr Jake Owens, an American conservational biologist based at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan, China, and the project work he has been doing in terms of Panda re-introduction to the wild and conservation work that the documentary is based on.
I spoke to Jake about:
– His background and journey into the world of conservation
– His previous projects and conservation work
– The work being done in China to reintroduce the Giant Panda to the wild
– His involvement with the “Pandas 3D” IMAX documentary
A big thank you to Kate Piasecka and IMAX Melbourne for making this episode happen.
