The Good with the Bad - January 2020 Conservation News
Surprise! A month end round up of some of the good and not so good news coming out of wildlife conservation and extinction. This is a much more informal episode, where you can listen to me cheer on a tortoise that saved his whole species (Go Diego!), nerd out about how cool pine trees are, and get really excited about some brand new bird species.
If you are an environmental scientist and are publishing some work in February that you would like people to hear about, please reach out to me at [email protected]. I would love to hear from you! Additionally, if you'd like to be interviewed for this podcast about your work, please reach out!
