This week’s #SheExploresPodcast guest, @RaeWynnGrant stresses: don’t try this at home!
See, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant is a wildlife ecologist, specializing in large carnivores — including not so big baby bears.
As a little girl, Rae loved watching nature shows and she paid a lot of attention to the humans that showed up in front of the camera. Not seeing anyone in the host position who looked like her, Rae made it her goal to become a wildlife ecologist and to help change the face of who holds the expertise and shows up for some of the most unique animals in the world. Today, she’s not only an ecologist, a conservation scientist, and a National Geographic explorer, she’s also so proud to be the voice of a new podcast from @pbsnature called “Going Wild with Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant.”
Rae not only contributes to change through showing up as her full self, she’s also dedicated to creating more equitable opportunities for young people to experience nature. She does this in many ways, most notably as the mother to two young girls and serving on the board of @naturebridge.
After 15 years as a wildlife ecologist and conservation scientist, Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant has a lot of valuable life lessons to share, be it the way she looks back at her own career with compassion for her younger self, the importance of doing exactly what she wants to do with her free time, or the joy that is safely cuddling baby bears — and you can hear all about it in our interview. Just head to She Explores wherever you listen to podcasts. Full transcript is linked in our profile.

Did you know bears do not need to hibernate. Typically they’ll sleep when food is scarce and to minimize exposure to winter elements. Let’s help bears sleep this winter by storing food and trash properly.

Coming your way all week – The International Adventures of Rae &…this guy 👆🏾😉. Who is @patrick_aryee you ask? He is a seasoned host for international natural history shows (check him out all over @bbcearth), a nature-lover, thrill seeker, travel nut, former micro-biologist, and new friend. We spent much of September & October all over Canada filming a show we’re super excited about (details coming in 2022) about nature, wildlife (duh), and wild ecosystems. I like to call it The Rae & Patrick show, but in reality I was just a very enthusiastic guest and am very honored that he & the production team at @cineflixmedia had me 🤗🐻🌲. Stay tuned for a week of reels showing the science & the fun 😉

We CAN make change. We CAN band together to push corporations & industries to put planet over profit. My dear friend @ayanaeliza (brilliant genius scientist-activist-multi-hyphenate) reached out to ask if I would sign this petition from environmental leaders to get major PR firm @edelman to cease representing @exxonmobil. This campaign is getting tons of press and is moving rapidly. Get involved, get angry. Please tell @edelman that they are powerful and important, and dropping @exxonmobil will signal to the world that we want our planet for the long term over profit for the short term 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 #EdelmanDropExxon
