Animal Training to Aid Conservation Efforts with Ken Ramirez

Part 2 of my conversation with Ken Ramirez where we discuss how animal training can be implemented to benefit conservation efforts. Whether that is training wild animals to alert to the presence of poachers, or re-routing elephant migrations - Ken talks about the importance of studying these animals in human care, to better understand and help their wild counterparts. 

A 40+ year veteran of animal care and training, Ramirez is a biologist and animal behaviourist. Ken Ramirez is the Executive Vice-President and Chief Training Officer of Karen Pryor Clicker Training. Ken previously served as the Executive Vice-President of animal care and animal training at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium and is well known for authoring numerous texts on Animal behaviour and training.
