Seacology’s Executive Director Duane Silverstein recently sat down for an in-depth discussion on Resilient Earth, a radio show and podcast that profiles conservation leaders and experts from around the world.

In a wide-ranging conversation with host Leigh Anne Lindsey, he explains why local people setting the terms of our projects is not only ethical but necessary for conservation to be effective. He also shares some of his favorite anecdotes from visiting our partner communities.
