My guest in this week’s episode of The Happy Lawyer Happy Life podcast is a true inspiration for anyone looking to broaden their horizons and make a real difference in the world. His name is Pepe Clarke, and he’s got so many strings to his bow. Besides being a lawyer with 15 years’ experience, he’s also dedicated much of his life to environmental causes and is now Global Head of Policy at BirdLife International.

Pepe’s always been a passionate activist. He’s spoken on various media and published a number of papers on threats to the environment. Here, he shares his journey with me – the path that his career has taken, how he’s travelled the world and the hope that pushes him forward.

In this episode we really get into:

• What brought Pepe to law in the first place
• The positive impact that the legal industry can have on the environment
• The influence that family and community have had on Pepe’s choices
• The volunteering work that Pepe’s done and the opportunities that have come from that
