Danielle Belleny - Wildlife Biologist

Love science and conservation? Want to discover new ways to protect our species? Elle Kaye chats with guests who work within the science genre, but whose job titles may need a little unpacking. Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens.   In episode 023 Elle chats with Danielle about her journey to becoming a wildlife biologist. She discusses her work co-founding the Black Birders Week initiative and how her birding pursuits led to her being coined 'The Cemetery Birder'. Danielle also shares her advice for getting into cemetery birding, and her plans and dreams for her future as a birder and wildlife biologist.    Danielle's socials IG - https://www.instagram.com/bellzisbirding Twitter - https://twitter.com/bellzisbirding   Plateau Wildlife  https://plateauwildlife.com/about-plateau/   Cemeteries https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/birding-in-cemeteries https://tucsonaudubon.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/VF-Fall2020-WEB.pdf ("Inspire Birders From Beyond the Grave Page 23 of pdf)    Black Birders Week https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Birders_Week https://www.sciencenews.org/article/blackbirdersweek-birding-while-black-nature-enthusiasts https://www.forbes.com/sites/linhanhcat/2020/06/01/inaugural-black-birders-week/#72f3d32c30cb https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/03/us/black-birders-week-black-in-stem-christian-cooper-scn-trnd/index.html   BlackAFinStem https://twitter.com/blackafinstem   Birding communities in US Outdoor Afro https://outdoorafro.com/ Feminist Bird Club https://www.feministbirdclub.org/   Elle Kaye socials  IG - www.instagram.com/ellekayetaxidermy   Podcast socials IG - www.instagram.com/specimenspod Twitter - www.twitter.com/specimenspod Patreon - www.patreon.com/specimenspod Merch - www.ellekayetaxidermy.co.uk/product-page/specimenspodmerch   Artwork © 2021 Madison Erin Mayfield IG - www.instagram.com/madisonerinmayfield Twitter - https://twitter.com/MEMIllustration   Music Giraffes - Harrison Amer via premiumbeat.com   Researched, edited and produced by Elle Kaye Concept/Title © 2020 Elle Kaye
