September 23, 2021 The Visionary Activist Show – Animism as Manners
Animism is not a belief – but manners. Caroline hosts Carl Safina through whom our animal kin convey their beautiful community complexity; from knowledge comes respect – on to reverent collaborative intimacy….
Carl Safina’s lyrical non-fiction writing explores how humans are changing the living world, and what the changes mean for non-human beings and for us all. His work fuses scientific understanding, emotional connection, and a moral call to action. His writing has won a MacArthur “genius” prize; Pew, Guggenheim, and National Science Foundation Fellowships; book awards from Lannan, Orion, and the National Academies; and the John Burroughs, James Beard, and George Rabb medals. He grew up raising pigeons, training hawks and owls, and spending as many days and nights in the woods and on the water as he could. Safina is now the first Endowed Professor for Nature and Humanity at Stony Brook University and is founding president of the not-for-profit Safina Center. He hosted the PBS series Saving the Ocean, which can be viewed free at PBS.org.

September 09, 2021 The Visionary Activist Show – Cooling Mists on the Conflagration
*Replay from August 20, 2020*
As so much life is at risk, Caroline welcomes award-winning science journalist, Judith D Schwartz,
whose latest book The Reindeer Chronicles, & other inspiring stories of working with Nature to Heal the Earth, proffers myriad heartening stories of devastating deserts than can return to blooming, as can our hearts…
Judith Schwartz is an award-winning science journalist and leading voice in regenerative agriculture and ecological restoration. Her latest book, The Reindeer Chronicles, shares the inspiring stories of a passionate group of eco-restorers who are following nature’s lead to help revitalize some of the most degraded places on earth—and succeeding.
With the UN declaring the next 10 years as the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, Schwartz’s book will help raise awareness about the importance of regenerating natural systems to resolve climate change, by humbly cooperating with Nature’s Guiding Genius.. “Our natural systems are under great stress,” she says. “However, nature’s inclination is toward healing, and we can work with the logic of ecology to restore landscapes and waterways.”
