In this episode, we are highlighting the exciting work of ARCHELON for sea turtle rescue and protection in Greece. What sea turtle species are there and which issues do the animals face? What happens in the Sea Turtle Rescue Centre to ensure individual animal welfare during rehabilitation and release? And, just as importantly, how can you get involved and design your next vacation sea turtle friendly? Our guests are Eirini Kasimati (Biologist and Rehabilitation & Welfare Officer for ARCHELON) and Anna Karatsori (Biologist and Public Awareness Officer for ARCHELON). Together they provide us with unique insights into their multifaceted activities, their own biographies, and the diverse opportunities for interested helpers and learners. This interview is not only for turtle lovers (like us!) but likewise enlightening for all passionate about animal-, species and environmental protection.

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with pioneer in animal welfare science and ethics Clive Phillips to explore the key themes of his latest book and reflect on the evolving relationship between humans and animals. Drawing on decades of research and advocacy, Phillips shares the ethical questions that lie closest to his heart and the insights that emerged during the writing process.

Together, we unpack critical questions: What aspects of the human-animal relationship are most urgent to address today? Should we draw ethical distinctions between pets, farm animals, and wildlife? Can animals themselves be cruel—and if so, how does it compare to human cruelty? Do animals experience something akin to religion? Are humans unique within the animal kingdom?

Phillips also offers his perspective on global shifts in animal ethics, regional differences, and the progress he has witnessed over the course of his career. Looking to the future, we discuss the biggest challenges for animal welfare and what it might take to achieve a more ethical coexistence between humans and animals.

Whether you’re new to the field or deeply engaged in animal ethics, this episode invites you to reflect, question, and imagine new possibilities.
