A Rare Conversation with Dr. Natalia Ocampo-Peñuela on Colombia’s Cundinamarca Antpitta Confirmation

THE PROJECT AND THE BIRD | Saving Colombia’s Cundinamarca Antpitta with Dr. Natalia Ocampo-Peñuela In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most targeted and hopeful conservation efforts in the Colombian Andes: the strategic protection of 43 new acres that extend forest habitat from Refugio del Tororoi, reconnecting isolated patches into a functioning corridor for the Critically Endangered Cundinamarca Antpitta (Grallaria kaestneri). Dr. Natalia Ocampo-Peñuela, conservation scientist and Assistant Professor at UC Santa Cruz, joins Dr. Stuart Pimm and Andy Schiffer to unpack the science, strategy, and stories behind this land purchase—and why this tiny bird urgently needs continuous cloud-forest to survive. 🌿 In this episode we explore: • How the Antpitta corridor project came about and why these 43 acres were the critical missing piece. • How connecting forest from 1,700–2,300 meters strengthens protection from Refugio del Tororoi. • Why the Cundinamarca Antpitta is so vulnerable—and what makes unbroken habitat absolutely non-negotiable. • What the first 12–24 months of restoration look like once cattle leave and natural regeneration begins. • The human story: families, birdwatching tourism, and how local livelihoods and conservation win together. • Which species will benefit first from the new connection—and how early ecological “wins” will be tracked. • The spatial tools and datasets Natalia uses to decide where land purchases matter most. • What thresholds, risks, and ecological signals tell conservationists “buy here, not there.” • Current deforestation pressures in the Eastern Andes and where setbacks are most likely. • Why fragmentation remains the Antpitta’s biggest long-term threat. • Which critical data gaps still exist for Andean birds—and how missing information amplifies extinction risk. • How new monitoring tools help close those gaps. • Natalia shares the field moment in the Eastern Andes that changed how she thinks about forest corridors. 📌 Event Hosted By: Dr. Stuart Pimm & Andy Schiffer, Saving Nature In partnership with Fundación Camaná 🔗 Watch Natalia’s TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVBDf0rYYbQ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVBDf0rYYbQ] 👍 Subscribe for more conservation stories, science-driven solutions, and on-the-ground wins for biodiversity.

A Conversation with Malcolm Kobak on Saving Papua, indigenous leadership, and the Echidna

In this conversation, Dr. Stuart Pimm and Andy Schiffer speak with Malcolm Kobak, a Papuan-born conservation leader and co-founder of YAPPENDA. Malcolm reflects on his upbringing among the Yali people in the Papuan Highlands and how his family heritage and name shaped his identity. He also shares how twenty-five years in Canadian law enforcement influenced his perspective before returning home to help build an Indigenous-led conservation organization. The discussion explores how YAPPENDA works with communities to secure land rights and support the protection of more than one million hectares of rainforest. Malcolm describes the connection between culture, land tenure, and forest stewardship in Tanah Papua and offers stories from YAPPENDA’s restoration sites, where nearly 10,000 trees were planted in 2024, including more than 3,000 mangroves. A major focus is the rediscovery of Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna in the Cyclops Mountains. Malcolm explains how the expedition was developed, the importance of trust with Indigenous landowners, and what this conservation breakthrough means for Papuan communities and for science. Additional topics include education partnerships with UNCEN, UNIPA, and Oxford; efforts to provide elementary and adult conservation training; the integration of Indigenous knowledge with emerging tools such as AI-assisted wildlife monitoring; and the importance of livelihoods, women’s empowerment, and cultural resilience in designing effective conservation programs. Malcolm concludes by sharing his long-term vision for the future of Tanah Papua and what meaningful support from the global community looks like.

What Maps Tell Us: A Conversation with Dr. Clinton N. Jenkins

What Maps Tell Us: A Conversation with Dr. Clinton N. Jenkins In this interview, we dive deep into the science and stories behind protecting one of the planet’s most complex and vital systems, the Amazon Basin. Dr. Clinton N. Jenkins reveals how biodiversity maps connect distant ecosystems and communities, serving as living indicators of the Amazon’s health.We explore the importance of the Andes–Amazon–Atlantic “water pathway,” a continental-scale system that sustains biodiversity, cultures, and climate stability across South America. From forests to floodplains, we unpack how human pressures, like oil palm expansion, are transforming rivers, and how innovative tools like biodiversity mapping and Area of Habitat modeling are changing the way conservation decisions get made.What you’ll learn:-How unknown species can be identified using maps-Things you never knew about the Amazon River-Saving Nature’s origin storyJoin us for a powerful look at how technology, local action, and science-based policy can redefine the future of freshwater conservation in the Amazon and beyond.#Amazon #Conservation #Biodiversity #Freshwater #Mapping #ScienceForNature

Rediscovering Rare Hummingbirds and Saving Colombian Biodiversity with Dr. Luis Mazariegos

Saving Nature presents a live conversation with Dr. Luis Mazariegos, founder of Fundación Bioconservancy and a pioneer in conserving Colombia’s Western Andes. In this episode, Luis shares his story of rediscovering rare hummingbirds, building the Mesenia-Paramillo Nature Reserve, and restoring cloud forests tree by tree with the support of local communities. Highlights include: • How hummingbirds connect ecosystems and inspire conservation • The challenges of planting native trees on steep Andean slopes • Extraordinary discoveries of new and endangered species • Why local community leadership is key to protecting biodiversity This conversation is a deep dive into one of the world’s most vital biodiversity hotspots and the inspiring work being done to reconnect the wild.
