Sarah, Kathryn and Chance Ruder are the husband and wife founders of the Conservation Connection podcast. Chance and Sarah Kathryn record rigorous and curious conversations with people who are saving the planet. Their passion for this planet and the people working to protect it led them to create not only the podcast, but their 501c3 nonprofit organization that creates opportunities for anyone to learn how to care for our planet by bringing engaging and educational programs to them wherever they are.

On each episode of the Conservation Connection podcast, Sarah Kathryn and Chance record rigorous and curious conversations with the people who are saving the planet; sitting down with today’s leading wildlife scientists, conservationists and changemakers to better understand the natural world around us and what we can do to protect it. Here at SWYL, we couldn’t help seeing the parallels with our own mission and Mark sits down with our guests to talk about their efforts to save what they love.

On today's show, Mark, Sarah Kathryn and Chance talk about getting into the conservation biz, making science juicy, bringing the story to people wherever they are, luminous trees and moving waters and eliminating burnout.

With a variety of remote field experience, both on boats and land, she’s set up and run remote field camps in Alaska. As a cinematographer, she’s captured footage for companies such as BBC, PBS, Smithsonian, Disney+ and National Geographic. One of her most recent series includes the National Geographic/Disney+ series ‘Queens’, which recently premiered in March 2024.

While experienced in filming wildlife on land, Erin is also a deep- sea video engineer and she’s a trained guide and naturalist in bear country. Additionally, she’s a third generation commercial fisherwoman in the largest sockeye salmon run in the world.
