Really great pod guys, it gets more and more interesting. Have you considered putting chapters in the pod here on RUclips so people can move around as they like?
Glad you enjoy it! We also appreciate having the time to share our thoughts and our projects more in depth for those who want to hear about it :) Thank you for tuning in and above all for being a member and making our rewilding work possible! - Cheers, Duarte
I like the idea of buying land in Ecuador but I'm wondering if you have a plan to protect that land from illegal logging and mining? I have been following the work of Paul Rosolie and The Jungle Keepers. His organisation buys land but they also hire locals who would otherwise be employed by illegal logging and mining groups, They become rangers who protect the newly purchased land. He pays more than the locals would make in the illegal work. Most of these people would rather save their forests than destroy them but they are desperate for work. It's a pretty good model for conservation but I do realize that it may be cost prohibitive for Mossy Earth. Maybe it's a model to aspire to. I wonder if you could partner with Paul? You buy the land and he hires and pays the rangers. Thanks for all you do!
The boat has been purchased and if you contributed in the fund extra you will have a little thank you from Isla and Francis in your email :) - Cheers, Duarte
Amazing! A big thank you for making it happen. We are putting the boat to good use already but next year it will have a very busy year! - Cheers, Duarte

This video is made so much better by Duarte getting sleeted on while Matt carries on chatting totally oblivious 😂
Matt definitely got the better deal with the weather...

Hi! Our project is run by Fredy a local kichwa man who lives on the land we bought. Him and our neighbours keep an eye on the land. - Cheers, Duarte

Out of curiosity since you have been up north the last two episodes, are you planning on some new activity in northern Norway?
