概要

 In this episode of "Hunting Matters," we sit down with Tanner Tripp, the visionary founder of Wild Giants Conservation Fund (U.S.) and Wild Giants Caucasus. Drawing from six years of experience in the adventure travel and tourism industry in Amsterdam, Tanner has developed a unique perspective on how to bridge the gap between international travelers, local communities, and wildlife restoration.

We delve into the core mission of Wild Giants, exploring why the restoration of keystone species is the critical engine behind healthy, functional ecosystems. Tanner walks us through his innovative breeding and rewilding programs in the Republic of Georgia, explaining what drew him to the unique wildlife history of the Caucasus region and why this landscape matters on a global scale.

The conversation also tackles the vital intersection of economics and ethics in modern conservation. Tanner discusses his goal of moving beyond perpetual fundraising toward a self-sustaining financial model that integrates eco-tourism, breeding centers, and regulated hunting. He shares how job creation in remote communities is not just a byproduct, but a necessity for long-term conservation success, ensuring that local people see tangible value in the wildlife surrounding them.

Finally, we look toward the future of "making wild places wild again". Tanner reflects on the cultural and logistical challenges of launching international programs and defines what scalability looks like for a conservation model designed to be applied to landscapes across the globe.
