How to transform value systems to save the planet

In this episode of The Better Heroes podcast, host Matt C. Smith talks to Walid Al Saqqaf about how we can change the way we value wildlife.

What is the value of an elephant? Or of a whale, a monkey, or a wolf? What if we could create a living- based value system that accounts for the services animals provide to their environment?

Today’s Better Hero is Walid Al Saqqaf, Co-CEO and Co-Founder at Rebalance Earth. Walid’s goal is to change the way we value wildlife. His company is placing a value on the natural services provided by animals so that they’re worth far more living than dead.
