| Wildlife Conversations with Cassia Rivera, Episode 42 |

Cassia Rivera is a North Carolina wildlife photographer, conservationist, filmmaker, and storyteller. She is fighting each day for wild spaces in her state and collaborates with government agencies, NGOs, citizen scientists, and conservationist communities to impact increased habitat connectivity.

She collaborated to create the documentary short film, Right of Passage. The film’s mission is to raise awareness in order to support the conservation efforts surrounding safer wildlife corridors for the critically endangered red wolf and all wildlife in North Carolina.

As a board member of Champions for Wildlife and the Executive Director of the North Carolina Wildlife Corridor, Cassia’s passion is contagious and inspiring. We had such an enlightening discussion, and I hope you enjoy it!
