Brian Sharp - IFAW Director & Trained Rescuer - Ready to Empower You While Saving …

Little Star Light

Host Andrea Jaeger shares her own personal stories and along with cohost Adriana Solarova, asks fascinating questions to Little Star Light’s extraordinary guest, a rescuer of the largest mammals on the planet. "I have never been satisfied with just fighting the good fight. We need to actually make a difference." That quote is from the president of IFAW, The International Fund for Animal Welfare. Brian Sharp is the Director of Marine Mammal Rescue at IFAW. Brian oversees international response training and leads rescue missions, harnessing the power of more than 200 volunteers.

Brian and his coworkers are experts and everyday people working across seas, oceans, land, and in more than 40 countries around the world, they rescue, rehabilitate and release animals and restore and protect their natural habitats.

The problems they are up against are urgent and complicated to solve them. They match fresh thinking with bold action. They partner with local communities, governments, non-governmental organizations and businesses. Together they pioneer new and innovative ways to help all species flourish and they are powered by human connections. Brian has rescued animals larger than any scale you may think exist, those animals include large whales, sea turtles, manatees, and countless dolphins. As a permitted level 5 responder Brian is one of the few rescue professionals authorized by the U.S. National, Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to disentangle whales within American waters. Brian empowers audiences, “We are the stewards” and “for people to care, we need them to understand.” www.ifaw.org and www.littlestar.org
