Send us a text, we'd love to hear from you!

Please enjoy Part 1 of my inspiring conversation with Amy Porter, a Wildlife Behavioral Ecologist and Conservation Biologist who is the Director of Conservation with Wolf Haven International as well as a member of the Wolf Advisory Group for Washington State. Her extraordinary experiences in the Amazon Rainforest and the Congo will leave you awed! Learn about her field research from Giant River Otters to elusive Titi Monkeys to Grauer's Gorillas. Her passion for conservation and learning about animal behavior has lead her to unique and remarkable locations around the world, as well as to the love of her life, a Congolese dog named Nayota. You won't want to miss Nayota's story! Learn how Amy's work bridging the gap between Gorillas and local communities in Africa changed the trajectory of her work and inspired her to affect positive long term change for wildlife through the power of conversation. Please tune in to Part 2 where we talk about her dedicated work with wolves and communities in Washington State.
