Erik Hoffner Mongabay and Sex with Clown Fish EP 348
Erik is an editor for the huge environmental news site Mongabay, which has 5 bureaus around the world reporting in 6 languages daily.
He also produces their podcasts, available in English, Spanish and now French too.

And on a more personal note, I was in the Galapagos reporting for Mongabay and the health of the fish and wildlife populations was incredible, big marine protected area surrounding all the islands, I saw so many big beautiful fish during our dives – fishing is allowed only with a guide and it’s all catch and release, some locals are allowed to fish for a few species
