In this episode we unpack the unsettling ways climate change is rewriting the world; starting with viruses reaching the farthest corners of earth. As warming accelerates, unexpected biological threats emerge, raising questions about preparedness and global vulnerability.

The coastline, where decades-old shark nets clash with modern drone systems designed to detect ocean predators more safely. It’s a look at how outdated solutions persist even when better tools exist.

From there, the focus moves deep into the Amazon, where carbon-credit programs meant to “protect” forests are instead creating pressure on Indigenous lands - an example of environmental solutions repeating old mistakes.

We also explore the science behind wildlife corridors and the delicate work required to make them help rather than harm. And finally, we spotlight newly identified species that are reshaping our understanding of biodiversity at a time when ecosystems are under unprecedented strain.

This is a journey through the hidden ripples of climate change, technology, policy, and nature - revealing how each story connects to the next.
