Conservation Beyond the Cage
Conservation Beyond the Cage pulls back the curtain on the world of endangered species recovery and wildlife protection—without the sugarcoating. Hosted by the team at RSCF, this podcast explores the victories, heartbreaks, and hard truths of modern conservation, from hands-on animal care and global field programs to uncomfortable topics like greenwashing, wildlife trafficking, and conservation fraud.
Episodes
In this episode of Conservation Beyond the Cage, we explore the realities of the illegal parrot trade: how smugglers use advanced technology, how the COVID-19 pandemic fueled trafficking by weakening enforcement, and the devastating toll on wild populations. We also confront a hard truth—society has grown desensitized to parrots in cages, forgetting they are wildlife meant to thrive in the skies, not behind bars.
What happens when those dedicated to saving wildlife are themselves struggling to survive emotionally? From the heart-wrenching grief of losing animals they've cared for over decades to the physical exhaustion of daily animal husbandry, conservation professionals face mental health challenges rarely discussed in public forums.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
