New Podcast Episode: Marcelo Gavensky & Argentina

Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating in any way.

I just uploaded the last podcast episode of 2024, in which we talk to Marcelo Gavensky from his home in Buenos Aires. Marcelo is director of Birds Argentina, a tour company that recently expanded into running mammalwatching safaris.

Marcelo talks about the varied career that led him to establish his tour company. He describes some of his favourite encounters and his work to find a reliable method to see the rare Franciscana or La Plata River Dolphin. We also discuss Argentina’s massive mammalwatching potential. The country is home to 14 species of cats, 13 species of armadillos and – for the rodent enthusiasts – 44 species of tuco-tuco!
