About this listen

Hi everyone, and welcome! We're the Denver Audubon- an independent, nonprofit chapter of the National Audubon Society, and we believe that birds are not just beautiful—they’re vital. They’re messengers of ecosystem health, and when we protect them, we also nurture the well-being of our communities, the environment, and the planet. The Curious Bird is part of a larger effort to uplift what we call a voice of the sky—a growing community of people, like you, who feel called to speak up, act boldly, and care deeply for the future of Earth and all her wild beings.

Our goal is to share the stories of inspired advocates—and to reflect on the creativity, interconnectedness, and wonder that the natural world awakens in us. We hope these stories spark lifelong learning, deepen your sense of stewardship, and remind us all of the power of collective care.

If you enjoy these conversations, please consider donating to the Denver Audubon! Your support helps us keep our work going and these conversations flowing.

    Animal Nerds- Why Joy, Hope, and Laughter matter in Conservation
    Jul 14 2025

    We need hope more than ever! In this episode, Denver Audubon’s Communications Manager Dori Edwards, interviews Dave Johnson. In 2014, after losing a dear friend and conservation ally, Katie Adamson, to her battle with cancer, Zookeeper Dave Johnson founded the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund- a community-based conservation organization operating from the Denver, Colorado area. For over a decade, the organization has been dedicated to a global mission of wildlife protection and cultural compassion through unique methods built upon their conservation imperative- helping people helps animals.

    Throughout the episode, Dori and Dave explore the importance of joy, love, community, education, and inspired action in the conservation space. Together, they laugh, cry, and marvel at the miracle of life on this planet, all while discussing creative solutions for better coexistence.
