  • Summary

  • My guest this week is Holly Budge the founder of UK Charity, ‘How Many Elephants’, and World Female Ranger Week. Her impactful work has been celebrated worldwide, including by Sir David Attenborough and HRH Prince Edward. She was recently voted ‘Woman of the Year in Non-Profit’, listed in the Top 100 Women in Social Enterprise, and is an official UN Women UK Delegate.

    As a professional speaker Holly has inspired thousands globally to think big. Her adventurous pursuits, including summiting Everest and becoming the first woman to skydive Everest, create a platform to raise awareness and funding for conservation. To date she has fundraised over £500,000.

    We speak the week of World Female Ranger Week which aims to amplify the voices of these brave women, breaking down social stigmas and shining a light on their incredible achievements and the unique challenges they face. Holly’s insights reveal a complex picture of poaching, from individuals driven by desperation to organized syndicates involved in wildlife crime. She emphasizes the moral dilemmas faced by rangers and the indispensable role women play in building community relationships and reducing corruption.

    Holly’s dedication to conservation goes beyond just talking about the issues; she’s about actionable change. She passionately discusses the importance of funding in conservation efforts, encapsulating her belief that "conservation without funding is just conversation." Her campaign not only raises awareness but also aims to attract crucial support and resources.

    In this episode, we delve into the profound impact of personal experiences on advocacy, the power of media in driving global awareness, and the inspiring stories of female rangers fighting against the odds. Holly also shares her new venture, Wildlife Positive Travel, offering immersive experiences with anti-poaching teams in Africa and Kenya.
