Rewilding the World with Ben Goldsmith

Creating wildlife corridors with Jodi Hilty


Listen Later

“When I see things like the crossing that’s just going in north of Los Angeles for mountain lions, bobcats and other species it’s a sign to me that humanity finally gets that it’s impacting nature and, essentially, impacting us.”

The shorthand definition of rewilding is the ‘Three Cs’; Core areas, Carnivores, and Corridors.

Jodi Hilty is president and chief scientist of Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, one of the largest wildlife corridor creating projects in the world.

Jodi and her colleagues are working to piece together habitat along 3000km of the western side of North America. They envision an interconnected system of wild lands and waters stretching from Yellowstone in the US to Canada’s Yukon Territory, which works for both people and nature.

Ben Goldsmith is a rewilding enthusiast and activist based in the UK. In this podcast he is joined by people behind some of the most exciting and ambitious rewilding projects around the world.

Every year we hear stories about wildlife being destroyed. However, there are rays of hope as across the globe people are working to give nature a hand to recover and rejuvenate.

This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.
