I have the joy of talking with Lauren Winstanley & Freddie Mills from Hastings Aquarium to learn more about conservation, animals in captivity, and the challenges they face within their working lives. Together we get one step closer to understanding if zoos and aquaria have real conservation value and what we can realistically do to improve the situation.
