Wildcat and Beyond: Harry Turner’s Mission to Help People and Protect Nature

Rod Price and Kerry McCarter Season 1 Episode 105

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Harry Turner, the British Army veteran whose transformative journey is captured in the gritty and brutally honest Emmy Award-winning Amazon documentary Wildcat. After serving in Afghanistan, Harry grappled with profound and enduring effects of war, leading him to the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. There, he found solace and a renewed sense of purpose through wildlife conservation, particularly in rehabilitating orphaned ocelots. 

In this episode, Harry delves into his transition from military life to conservationist, emphasizing the therapeutic power of nature and the importance of resilience. He also introduces his nonprofit organization, Emerald Arch, established in 2022. Emerald Arch focuses on global conservation efforts, specializing in human-wildlife conflict resolution, education for future generations, and the protection of land in the Amazon. One of their key initiatives includes acquiring land in the Ecuadorian Amazon to create a rainforest mental health retreat for military veterans, offering activities like daily hikes, wildlife identification, and meditation to encourage healing and growth.
