Welcome to the jungle: sequencing for conservation
Manage episode 352933412 series 2902208
In this episode of Talking Techniques, we head to the Ecuadorian rainforest to chat about the use of sequencing in conservation with Zane Libke, a field researcher based at Sumak Kawsay In Situ (Pastaza, Ecuador). Zane discusses how he turned his fascination with nature into a career, his current work using nanopore sequencing technologies to find undescribed species and helping train future field researchers.
We also explore the benefits of fighting biodiversity in a more local-centric way and using research to protect the area from exploitative companies.
