Welcome to the special Voices of Wilderness episodes covering WILD12. Jackie, your host, takes you behind the scenes at WILD12, where she met remarkable people dedicated to protecting nature every day.
One of these inspiring individuals is Laura Yawanawá. Laura and her husband, Tashka Yawanawá, lead the Yawanawá people in Acre, Brazil, where they developed a Life Plan to sustain their culture, protect their forest, and counter illegal logging, mining, and ranching. It was incredible to meet them, especially as WILD.org has now been working closely with them for years now. In this episode, we are excited to explore Laura's journey as an Indigenous woman and leader, the concept of 'conservation' from an Indigenous perspective, and the essential role of Indigenous women in caring for the land.
Before listening to the episode, please consider supporting our work at WILD.org, which allows us to dedicate time to creating these conversations for you.

Welcome to the special Voices of Wilderness episodes covering WILD12. Today we’re going behind the scenes at WILD12, where we met remarkable people dedicated to protecting nature every day. One of these amazing individuals is Jaime Rojo. You might remember him from a previous episode a few months ago, but here he is again–as I met him in person for the first time during the congress!
Jaime is a photographer and National Geographic Explorer. His most recent project, Monarchs on the Brink, is a captivating visual exploration of monarch butterflies, highlighting the challenges they face and introducing the people committed to their protection.
We didn’t post this episode at random; Jaime is a friend of WILD.org, and today is World Wildlife Conservation Day. Who better than him to share his passion for wildlife and represent the work being done in its protection? Enjoy this episode, where we prepared some games to get to know him better and in which he will talk about storytelling, science communication, protecting Half, 30by30, and many other topics!

Change often begins with recognizing a problem, but what happens next? If you’ve been following our WILD12 journey and our social media, you've probably heard us talk about resolutions. But what exactly are resolutions, and what impact do they have? If you're asking yourself this question, you're not alone.
In today’s episode, Jackie is joined by two colleagues from WILD.org: Amy Lewis, CEO, and Maddy Miller, Development and Administrative Associate. Together, they’ll unpack the power of resolutions—what they are, how they work, why they matter—and share a concrete example from Maddie’s experience at WILD12, where she helped create a resolution calling for a ban on clear-cutting boreal forests in Sápmi.

Today, we’re joined by Lillian Bosch, who made the leap from tech to conservation, inspired by her journey into motherhood. Lillian advocates for nature-based solutions to climate change and plays a vital role in our new Sámi-led rewilding project!
For those unfamiliar, the Sápmi region spans northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula in Russia, home to the semi-nomadic Sámi, Indigenous reindeer herders. This vast land is covered by boreal forest, which makes up 62% of the area and is essential to Sámi culture, influencing their food, clothing, and traditions.
However, the decline of the forest and the reindeer population poses a serious threat to the Sámi way of life. The boreal forest is not only a complex ecosystem but also the world's second-largest above-ground carbon sink, containing 22% of the carbon stored on Earth's land.
Conserving Sápmi is crucial for mitigating the impacts of climate change. Tune in to hear Lillian share her inspiring journey and her important partnership with the Sámi community!

In this podcast episode, we had the incredible opportunity to meet Kevin Chang, the Executive Director of KUA, at WILD12. At the congress, Kevin highlighted how, in Hawaiian culture, communities have traditionally acted as caretakers of their lands, emphasizing that “They didn’t talk about the ocean separate from us.”
Join us as Kevin shares his insights into community-based solutions addressing the challenges of environmental degradation in Hawai'i, and as we explore the powerful role of community in environmental stewardship.

Today, we're thrilled to have Jennifer Martel with us, Lakota member, and part of the executive planning team for WILD12. With WILD12 just around the corner, Jennifer will be guiding us through the Lakota worldview, offering insights into the messages and values that will resonate for her and her people during this historical event.
As Jennifer says, ‘This Western World doesn’t fit Indigenous,’ which is why she’s advocating for deeper connections—among ourselves and with the Earth.

We're very excited to have two incredible guests with us today: Phil Two Eagle, Executive Host of WILD12 and Executive Director of the Sicangu Lakota Treaty Council, and Amy Lewis, CEO of WILD. With WILD12 being a little under a month away, Phil shares the story of why the 12th World Wilderness Congress is occurring in the Black Hills—the Lakota's sacred lands—and how this Congress came to fruition. In this episode, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what these lands mean to the Lakota people, their rich history, their ongoing 500-year struggle, and what Phil hopes to achieve in just a few weeks at WILD12.
As you all know, each of us plays a very important part in making beneficial differences for Indigenous communities, ourselves, and Planet Earth. So, we look forward to having your support for the Congress, either in person or virtually.

Imagine a world where conservation wasn't a concept because it was simply a way of life. Well, hundreds of years ago, in some African cultures, conserving nature was deeply ingrained in daily living.
Our guest, Aiita Joshua Apamaku, a Wildlife Biologist and National Geographic Young Explorer, has found that stories, and cultural pillars from the Kibale Forest communities, were rich with insights about nature.
This inspired Aiita's concept of Science Telling, which promotes traditional ways of life through storytelling, enhancing our understanding of nature and its ecosystems. In this episode, we explore Aiita’s work and the power of storytelling in conservation work. Oh, and good news, Aiita will be a speaker at WILD12!

Cristina began her photography career when conservation photography wasn't even on the map. As a marine biologist with a passion for capturing the beauty of the wilderness, she gradually turned her lens towards advocacy, using her images to champion the protection of Earth's lands and Ocean.
Her projects took shape during WILD9, culminating in the creation of the International League of Conservation Photographers. And, today, Cristina leads SeaLegacy, an organization dedicated to using storytelling to address ocean issues.
And there's more—Cristina will be a plenary speaker at WILD12. Her goal? To craft a resolution that recognizes the ocean as wilderness.

Imagine immersing yourself in the depths of the ocean. You're submerged beneath the sea, thinking you're the great observer, there to witness what's happening. But then, you realize that everyone is watching you.
That's precisely the experience Sylvia Earle, known as "Her Deepness" for her record-breaking untethered dives reaching 381 meters (1,250 feet), shared with us. She has spent her life as a tireless advocate for the oceans, being the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's first female Chief Scientist. It's been a wonderful moment for us to reposition humanity in the web of life. Sylvia's efforts to raise public awareness about our interconnectedness with marine ecosystems underscore the urgent need for humanity to treat all life with equality.
So, let's embark on an exploration of the ocean's depths with Sylvia as we dive into wildlife conservation, the pivotal role of Indigenous Peoples as allies, captivating anecdotes from her missions, and much more.
