Melyssa Watson is the Executive Director of The Wilderness Society, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect the wilderness and inspire Americans to care for our wild places

In this podcast episode, Melyssa sheds light on how much our political climate really affects the conservation work of our wild spaces; how we can turn our public lands, which surprisingly, currently contribute a lot to our national carbon emissions, into a key part of the solution to addressing our ecological breakdown and climate change; and more.
