Author: NSW Saving Our Species October 11, 2023 Duration: 35:32

Tackling environmental problems such as biodiversity loss and climate change requires an open mind, lateral thinking and innovative solutions. 

It's not always easy. It can be challenging to know how to take your first step towards incorporating biodiversity-friendly practices in your business or everyday life. This episode delves into how organisations, both well-established and fledgling, use innovative thinking on their conservation journeys.

Join us as we travel to Taronga Zoo and see the transformation it has gone through from purely a tourist-based enterprise to a conservation platform. We’ll learn about their world-first accelerator program, HATCH, which supports ecopreneurs in their conservation journey and hear from one of the inspiring graduates of the program.
