Written By Callum Armstrong

The last few months of building the People Helping Nature podcast have been a wild ride, to say the least!

We’ve been blessed with opportunities to interview inspiring and renowned guests, and have learned so much already.

So, we thought it was about time to share an update with you on how this podcast is progressing. 

This short update-style episode is something we’re testing and thinking of doing every 10 or 20 episodes to keep you in the loop and document our learnings over time, so please let us know what you think and if you’d like to see more of them. All feedback is welcome.

Here’s what we discussed:

  • The mission of Conservation Amplified and what we’re aiming to achieve.

  • Two key learnings from the guests we’ve interviewed so far.

  • Personal insight from Anna and Callum about our experience building this podcast.

  • The changes and improvements we’re making as a result of your feedback.

  • Upcoming Conservation Amplified developments on the horizon, including a mini-documentary and recent projects we’ve funded.

👩About Anna:

Originally from Germany and self-introduced to New Zealand, Anna Wentsch is passionate about habitat protection and threatened species conservation. She has worked with Kiwi, Korora, Whio, Shorebirds and other critters, and loves supporting community environmental groups in her spare time.

👩About Callum:

Callum Armstrong spends his days at the intersection of business and conservation, with one foot in both worlds. As a marketer and entrepreneur by trade, he believes that if we want to create a future where nature thrives, we need to change the culture and behaviour of humanity into one where biodiversity is valued.
