In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla speaks with Meg Parker from the Center for Large Landscape Conservation to discuss thinking bigger in the world of conservation detection dogs. 
Science Highlight: Factors That May Affect the Success of Scent Detection Dogs: Exploring Nonconventional Models of Preparation and Deployment 
What does it mean to be “thinking bigger” in the field of conservation detection? 

Work with academics more; ask more questions 
Get more precise and better sampling 
Look into better study designs 
Continue expanding the field 
Improve relationships with study designers, scientists, veterinarians, etc. 
Improve welfare and training 
Think beyond what is easiest and the way things have always been done 
Where are you in the world and what are the issues there? 
What can you do to help? 
Think with a direction in mind and not just always going in and counting.
