The podcast episodes highlight the need for holistic approaches that consider the interconnected social, cultural, economic, and environmental factors when addressing complex issues such as the illegal bushmeat trade, climate change, and conservation.

These holistic approaches emphasize the importance of engaging local communities, addressing both physical and psychological needs, working in harmony with nature, and providing multiple benefits like carbon sequestration, increased resilience, and community development.

The episodes showcase how holistic solutions can lead to more effective and sustainable outcomes compared to siloed or techno-centric approaches.
