Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Captain Paul Watson, a pioneering environmental activist and marine conservationist.
As a founding member of Greenpeace and the founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Captain Watson has dedicated his life to defending marine ecosystems worldwide.
His unwavering commitment to direct action and environmental advocacy has made him both a controversial and influential figure in the fight to protect our oceans.
In this conversation, we’ll delve into his early inspirations, the challenges he’s faced, and his vision for the future of marine conservation.
In this episode we talked about:
– how he managed time in prison
– why humans really dont care about other species
– how does he define success in activism
– the so called tradition in Denmark
– why governments don´t really act that much
– how to observe / control the ocean
– his perspective on humanity and if it changed over the years
– the state of the oceans and why this really should concern us all
– the moment that made him become an ocean activist
– how his own Organisation turned against him
– why eco tourism isn´t a good thing
