Episode Fifteen - The Black Footed Ferret. Featuring Soraya Abdel-Hadi
This exciting episode is part 1 of 2! That's right, we have a two-parter episode to round off Season 1 of Turn On The Light! Which also means this is the penultimate episode!! I had to save my favourite conservation success story for the crescendo of the season... A fuzzy little carnivore that was one declared extinct in the wild.. not once, but twice! It is of course the adorable face of intensive, successful captive breeding, the Black Footed Ferret. My special guest this week has many strings to her bow and is always striving to use all of her skills towards the preservation and protection of nature.
Soraya Abdel-Hadi is the ultimate advocate of taking a holistic approach to protecting and conserving our planet. She is currently the Operations Manager for eXXpedition: a community interest company that organises all-female sails with a focus on plastics and toxins in the ocean. When she is not working hard at that, she has her fingers in many others pies, including free-lance writing, her blog, her beautiful net-positive artwork, travel, and generally being an ambassador for the outdoors. You can follow her adventures on Instagram and Twitter @sorayaearth and our first person to follow on Pinterest under that same username - sorayaearth. There is also of course Soraya's own lovely website where you can delve into her world through blogs, photography and her sustainable art - https://www.soraya.earth/. As always, you can find the podcast on Instagram @turnonthelight_pod, on Twitter @savingspecies and you can contact me for any reason at all at turnonthelightpod@gmail.com. Please don't forget to rate, review and subscribe, it's the best way to spread the word 😊😊
