Episode notes

I think of myself as, you know, a wildlife biologist who loves communicating like a passion for conservation. I do a lot of hide and seek, if you will, looking for lost species and animals that have major human wildlife conflict components. And so one of the interesting things about what you do is that in this process of looking for all these animals, you've come in contact with indigenous people all over the globe. They also seem to enjoy pretty darn good health from what I've read and seen it with the hods and some of the African tribes. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of cultures of humans all over the world that don't eat pohos and Twinkies

On this week’s podcast, Paul talks to wildlife biologist, Forrest Galante. They chat about Forrest’s adventures across the globe, and they dive into his experiences with indigenous cultures from an anthropological perspective.
