Keeping Wild Animals Wild with Liz Tyson
Manage episode 435747442 series 2495964
We all love lions and tigers and bears (oh my!), but is seeing them in captivity really the way people should get to know them? Liz Tyson of Born Free USA joins us to discuss the organization’s goal of #KeepingWildlifeInTheWild, the legislative and policy work they are pursuing, and all about the monkeys of Texas!!
ABOUT OUR GUEST
Dr. Liz Tyson is Born Free USA’s Director of Animal Welfare and Advocacy. She helped to establish the very first locally run sterilization program for street dogs in the Middle East; worked with indigenous communities in the Colombian Amazon to end the hunting of wild primates; ran a U.K. charity campaigning to end the exploitation of animals in circuses and zoos; and helped design a new rehabilitation complex for rescued monkeys at Ensessa Kotteh, Born Free’s sanctuary in Ethiopia. In 2018, she earned her doctorate in animal welfare law, and in 2023, she completed a master’s in Social Justice and Community Organizing. Now, she heads up Born Free USA’s Primate Sanctuary and leads the organization’s advocacy work.
