As the rescue of the final Wildlife Waystation chimpanzees kicked off, I was excited to hear that the LA Times wanted to cover the story's conclusion. Back in 2020, when the Chimpanzees In Need campaign officially kicked off, the LA Times interviewed me as well - you can read their comprehensive story from 2020 here.
This more recent story was more celebratory and, of course, much more enjoyable for me to discuss.
I was excited to see that Los Angeles station ABC 7 was interested in covering the rescue of the Wildlife Waystation chimpanzees, so I was of course quite pleased to be interviewed for the story. The Chimpanzees In Need rescue campaign is coming to a close, and the story mentioned progress made to date and what is ahead to finish up this lifesaving work.
I was honored to be asked to deliver a TED-style talk at the Animal Grantmaker's Conference. This event featured some incredibly accomplished speakers from the animal welfare and rights communities, and was held October 23-26, 2022 in Berkeley, CA.
This was my first trip to travel and present since pre-pandemic, and it felt amazing to see new sights, make new friends, and meet up with old ones at the conference.
All information about this conference can be found here, and I will post the recording of my talk when it is available. Thank you so much to Animal Grantmakers for having me. I look forward to next time!
