Welcome to Bad at Goodbyes. On each episode we spotlight a plant or animal from the IUCN Critically Endangered Red List, sharing species details, research, and conservation information. And then we spend the 2nd half of the show offering an improvised ambient soundscape, a space for contemplation, awe, reflection, and perhaps grief. There is a very low likelihood that these species will survive the 21st Century. And so perhaps we might acknowledge their passage with a moment of our attention, a recognition of our kinship, and with a commitment to personal and systemic change. Thank you for listening.
