E108 Abbey Dudas

What if we stopped pretending conservation is simple?

What if we admitted it’s messy, political, and full of compromise? What if we told the truth — and let that be enough?

That’s the book we set out to write.

And it wouldn’t exist without Abbey Dudas.

Abbey didn’t just edit the book — she challenged it. She made sure we didn’t smooth over the rough edges. She pushed for clarity where there was complexity. And she asked the hardest question of all: Who is this really for?

It’s a book about ambition, contradiction, failure, compromise — and the real cost of trying to build something good inside a system that rewards the opposite.

In helping shape this book, she’s helped us stay true to what Oxygen Conservation has always been about: not being perfect, just being real.
