This one is for all you young conservationists out there: You want to help animals. You want to make a difference. You want to travel to a cool place. But be forewarned that many of these companies do not have your - or the animals - best interests in mind. 

Sophie Bell knows this firsthand, which is why she wrote a blog about red flags to look out for. We talk about all this and more, with the goal of ending these exploitative practices. 

Also, it’s our last episode for the year! We will see you in 2022!
