Our guest this week is Dr. Brian Fisher. He's a curator of entomology at the California Academy of sciences and a world-renowned ant expert, nicknamed the "Ant Man". Fisher has spent three decades documenting the island of Madagascar's beautiful biodiversity. Along the way, he's discovered over 1000 new ant species. As he witnessed the biodiversity crisis unfold in Madagascar, Fisher began applying traditional insect-eating practices to reduce bushmeat consumption, sustain forest, and improve nutrition of children.
