Mountain gorillas were once on the brink of extinction. Today, they are the only great ape whose population is increasing. In this season finale of Green Frequency, Gorilla Doctors Chief Communications Officer Amy Bond joins Dr. Elena Berg for a conversation about conservation, climate anxiety, cooperation, and environmental agency. Recorded live at The American University of Paris, the discussion explores what gorilla conservation can teach us about long-term change, uncertainty, and how humans respond to overwhelming global challenges. The episode also reflects on themes from across the season, including biodiversity, environmental storytelling, interdisciplinary thinking, and the importance of staying engaged in the face of ecological crisis. A thoughtful conversation about fear, hope, and the possibility of meaningful environmental action.
