Coming to a radio station near you – Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and … frog conservation?
This month, Team Earth is joining forces with broadcasting company Entercom – using the power of radio to raise awareness about key environmental issues affecting our planet and our lives. We brought together several of Conservation International’s (CI) leaders and supporters to record three radio programs, discussing topics like climate change, species extinction and everyday environmentalism. Entercom has also donated airtime on hundreds of its radio stations across the country, which will broadcast the programs over the next few weeks.
But there’s no need to go fiddling with your radio dial – we’ll also be bringing the programs to you right here on TeamWORK.
First, listen in as George Meyer – producer and writer of “Simpsons” and “Saturday Night Live” fame – and Claude Gascon – CI’s Executive Vice President of Field Models – discuss their shared passion for frogs, and how amphibians can serve as the “proverbial canaries in a coalmine” for climate and freshwater issues. As Meyer says, “If you care about your future and your children’s future, don’t let the frogs croak.”
We’ll be releasing the other two programs soon – stay tuned!
