Investigating Wild Animal Welfare: Michelle Graham of Wild Animal Initiative

<p>In this 25-minute podcast, the Exec. Dir. of Wild Animal Initiative explains their unique research mission to understand and improve the lives of wild animals as sentient individuals not just 'populations'. Animal welfare does not have to be limited to domesticated animals; Wild Animal Initiative hopes to facilitate "research and applied projects that will open the door to a clearer picture of wild animals’ needs and how to enhance their well-being. Ultimately, Wild Animal Initiative envisions a world in which people actively choose to help wild animals — and have the knowledge they need to do so responsibly."  Their website is <a href='http://www.wildanimalinitiative.org'>www.wildanimalinitiative.org</a> where scientists, researchers, and policy-makers are welcome to get involved.</p> <p>Host Carrie Freeman interviewed Michelle Graham for the "In Tune to Nature" radio program on Radio Free Georgia (<a href='http://www.wrfg.org'>www.wrfg.org</a>) which was broadcast on 89.3FM-Atlanta on Dec 16, 2020.
