Episode notes

A young dolphin approached scuba divers underwater because there was a hook cut in her and submit herself to what basically was, you know, knife surgery. This wasn't a trained dolphin and popular wisdom has it that dolphins can't talk to each other. How smart did this dolphin have to be? What human would make a series of corrected deductions? You know, she nailed it. And so you and I co-wrote these books. We're going to get into that.

Show Summary:

On this episode, Nate is joined by Eco-interventionist and long time friend DJ White. DJ is not necessarily a household name, but has been instrumental in successful environmental interventions - primarily for the oceans - for the last four decades. The list of his behind-the-scenes accomplishments is long, but today he joins Nate to describe how to be effective in change-making and outline ways that current activist efforts could be improved. He also shares his own profound experiences with some of Earth’s most intelligent creatures and how these cetacean friends shaped his life’s work.

About DJ White:

DJ White is a co-founder of Greenpeace International and founder of EarthTrust. He has played a leading role in protecting dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and countless other marine animals, including being the driving force behind the transition to more dolphin-friendly tuna, stopping widespread use of ocean drift nets in the 1980s, successfully stopping a national dolphin drive kill, and breaking the deadlock in capping the Kuwait oil fires.
