This week on the Protect Species Podcast, we're delighted to be joined not only by our guest, Dr. Axel Hochkirch, curator at the Natural History Museum in Luxembourg and grasshopper expert, but also Dr. Sérgio Henriques, the Invertebrate Conservation Coordinator at the Global Center for Species Survival.
We'll take a look at the career paths of these two passionate invertebrate conservationists, exploring the excitement of fieldwork, the thrill of rediscovering species once thought extinct, and the essential role that local communities play in conservation efforts. Axel's focus on grasshoppers and Sérgio's dedication to spiders demonstrate the often-overlooked importance of invertebrates in maintaining biodiversity. Their stories highlight how chance encounters and dedicated mentors can lead to a fulfilling career in species preservation.
We also delve into the successes and ongoing challenges of invertebrate conservation within the IUCN framework. From targeted conservation actions for grasshoppers and wild bees to innovative strategies in the Canary Islands' laurel forests, our experts cover a wide range of topics. Learn about the significance of preserving unique species habitats, the impact of biotic homogenization, and why every species, no matter how small, holds intrinsic value. Tune in for an inspiring call to action to protect local ecosystems and contribute to biodiversity conservation.
