141: Is it too late to save the Japanese giant salamander?
With the United Nations Biodiversity Conference taking place in Montreal this week, we thought it would be a good opportunity to look at how Japan is handling issues involving biodiversity here. Environmental journalist Mara Budgen comes on the show to talk about the Japanese giant salamander, which has been designated a "special natural monument" under Japanese law but is still vulnerable to extinction.
If you have pitches for our new section Our Planet, feel free to email us at [email protected].
Hosted by Shaun McKenna and produced by Dave Cortez.
