People of Nature Podcast
The People of Nature Podcast is a science communication initiative funded by the 4th IndiaBioScience Outreach Grants 2023-2024.
The project is led by Pankaj Koparde, MIT World Peace University, Pune and in collaboration with Arjit Jere, Freelance content writer. The podcast features unheard voices in India’s conservation landscape to bring forth conservation optimism.

They invite speakers from sidelined communities in science, LGBTQ+ community members, and economically backward classes to narrate life stories brimming with conservation optimism. Their speakers are scientists, educators and conservationists coming from sidelined communities, including tribal folk, women and transgender wildlife biologists, as well as those from economically backward classes.
The podcasts inspire the young generation to take up conservation as a career, consider environmental issues seriously and appreciate the work of the unnamed heroes who work towards achieving a better planet irrespective of societal pressures and challenges.
