TBL Podcast - Season 14 Episode 10 - More Than a Million Bird Sightings: The Story Behind Bindo
<p>One of the things that has changed dramatically in birding over the last few years is the role that technology plays in helping us enjoy birds, keep records, contribute to conservation, and connect with other birders.</p><p>Today we are going to be talking about an app that has made a significant impact on the Southern African birding community. If you've spent any time around birders recently, chances are you've heard people talking about Bindo.</p><p>What started as an idea to get more people interested in birds has grown into a platform that now contains more than a million bird sightings. It has become a tool that birders are using to keep lists, contribute to citizen science, discover new birding locations, identify birds, and connect with a growing community of birders.</p><p>In this episode, I am joined by David Winter. David has been involved with Bindo since its early days and has played a key role in helping shape the platform into what it is today.</p><p>In our conversation, we chat about the story behind Bindo, how the app has evolved over the years, how it is helping beginner birders get started, the role of citizen science in conservation, whether artificial intelligence will change the way we bird, and why getting more people interested in birds may be more important now than ever before.</p><p>Whether you're already a Bindo user, an eBirder, an atlaser, or simply curious about how technology is changing the birding world, I think you're going to find this conversation both interesting and practical.Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices <a href="https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-store" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-store</a></p><p>Intro and outro music by Tony ZA <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialza" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialza</a></p><p>Links from show:</p><p>Bindo website <a href="https://www.bindo.app/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.bindo.app/</a></p>

YWP Podcast Season 6 Episode 5 - Chacma Baboons, Human Conflict and the Meaning of Coexistence with Dr Paula Pebsworth
<p>In this episode, Gabby is joined by primatologist Dr Paula Pebsworth from the Chacma Baboon Project for a thoughtful conversation about one of southern Africa’s most intelligent, adaptable and often misunderstood animals: the chacma baboon.</p><p>Baboons are deeply social animals with complex relationships, strong learning abilities and important ecological roles, yet they are also frequently at the centre of human-wildlife conflict. From farms and homes to waste, crops and tourism spaces, the overlap between people and baboons can quickly become emotional, difficult and deeply divided.</p><p>Paula shares the story behind the Chacma Baboon Project in Limpopo, her research across the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, and the importance of combining science, local knowledge and lived experience when looking for practical ways forward. The conversation explores why conflict happens, how baboons learn to use human spaces, the damage caused by feeding and easy access to food, and why coexistence requires understanding from both sides.</p><p>This episode is not only about baboons. It is about what happens when wildlife and people share the same landscapes, and how curiosity, research, responsibility and community action can help us move beyond fear and frustration towards more informed coexistence.</p><p>Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices <a href="https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-store" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-store</a></p><p>Intro and outro music by Tony ZA <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialza" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialza</a></p><p>Links from show: paula.pebsworth@gmail.com</p>

TBL Podcast - Season 14 Episode 9 - Return of the Oystercatcher: Stories of Hope in a Changing World
<p>There are some guests who simply make you think differently about birds, conservation, and our place in the natural world.</p><p>Today's episode is a special one because it marks Episode 200 of The Birding Life Podcast.</p><p>When I started this podcast, I never imagined that we would reach 200 episodes. Along the way we've spoken to birders, guides, photographers, conservationists, scientists, authors, and some truly remarkable people from around the world who share a passion for birds.</p><p>Before we begin, I would love to ask a small favour.</p><p>This podcast has never really been about numbers. It's always been about people. As we celebrate Episode 200, I would love to hear from you. Where in the world do you listen from? How did you discover The Birding Life Podcast? Has there been an episode, conversation, guest, or moment that has stayed with you or helped shape your birding journey?</p><p>Please send me an email at <a href="mailto:info@thebirdinglife.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info@thebirdinglife.com</a>. I would love to hear your story and celebrate this milestone together with the community that has made these 200 episodes possible.</p><p>It feels fitting that Episode 200 features one of the most respected bird writers and communicators of our time.</p><p>My guest today is Scott Weidensaul, an American ornithologist, bird migration researcher, conservationist, and New York Times bestselling author. Over the course of his career, Scott has written more than 30 books and has become one of the leading voices helping people understand birds, migration, and conservation.</p><p>In his latest book, Return of the Oystercatcher, Scott tells a series of remarkable conservation stories from around the world. While the book is filled with birds, what struck me most was that it is really a book about people. It is about people who refused to accept decline as inevitable, people who chose to act, and people who found ways for both birds and communities to thrive.</p><p>This is a longer conversation, but Scott is such a gifted storyteller and communicator that the time flies by. We talk about conservation success, hope, human behaviour, Indigenous knowledge, Hawk Mountain, and why the lessons in this book are just as relevant to birders in South Africa as they are anywhere else in the world.</p><p>So as we celebrate Episode 200 of The Birding Life Podcast, settle in and enjoy my conversation with Scott Weidensaul, author of Return of the Oystercatcher.</p><p>Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices <a href="https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-store" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-store</a></p><p>Intro and outro music by Tony ZA <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialza" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialza</a></p><p>Links from show:</p><p>Scott Weidensaul website <a href="http://www.scottweidensaul.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.scottweidensaul.com/</a></p>
