From outcome-based grazing to resurrecting Ice Age megafauna, this episode covers the full spectrum of modern conservation. Isaiah Menning, external affairs manager at the American Conservation Coalition, joins us to discuss his research on conservation leasing and the controversial Public Lands Rule. We dive into how giving ranchers more flexibility could lead to better ecological outcomes, why the Biden administration's conservation leasing proposal sparked such fierce opposition in the West, and yes - the very real possibility of wooly mammoths returning to Alaska in the next few years.
