On this episode of the Safina Center Podcast, host Louis Pagillo speaks with Safina Center Conservationist-in-Residence Hob Osterlund about her work with Laysan albatross in Hawaii, conservation communication, and taking action in local communities.

Hob Osterlund is the founder of the Kaua'i Albatross Network and the author of Holy Mōlī: Albatross and Other Ancestors (Oregon State University Press), now in its fourth printing. Hob produced the Telly-award winning documentary Kalama's Journey, a story about an albatross chick adopted by two moms, and about the crucial role she could play for her species as sea levels rise. Through public presentations, social media and bird guiding, Hob tirelessly inspires people to care about the magnificent mōlī of Hawaii.
