Pangolins + Covid-19: Here’s the Tea

(**Note: Hey guys! Unfortunately, Coronavirus has struck close to home for my family. I’ll come back in here and update this article in the next few days, but right now I need to concentrate on family and health. Please share this important video. Stay safe. xo AJ)
I believe there’s a huge intellectual gap taking place right now between the Environmental Sciences and Mainstream Media.
As an environmental journalist (who did my masters thesis on mainstream media’s unfulfilled duty to cover wildlife reporting due to it’s impact on human health) and as a TV host that’s worked in Sports and Entertainment - I’m in a unique position to see both silos taking place as news stories roll out around the Covid-19 Pandemic.
I’m honored to talk to a photojournalist / conservation photographer who’s work I admire so much, and have for many years, Paul Hilton. Paul has gone undercover in some of China’s most notorious wet markets, exotic meat markets, wildlife farms, and alongside poachers. Watch our interview on youtube or IGTV and be sure to follow him on instagram here.
