What do pandemics, human health, and the economy have in common? Nature.
Dr. Enric Sala, National Geographic Explorer in Residence, joins us to talk about how human health and the health of our planet are intertwined. And how every dollar we invest in protecting areas, nature gives us at least $5 in return. Now that's a good investment!
Read Dr. Sala's new book "The Nature of Nature: Why we need the wild" https://bookshop.org/books/the-nature-of-nature-why-we-need-the-wild/9781426221019 -

We spoke to two knowledgeable women, Louise Comeau and Susan R. Eaton, about what climate change looks like, what we can do about it, and how to remain hopeful in the face of it all.

"You're going to learn everything you'll learn about caribou in the first week, because that's how long it's going to take them to leave you behind." Migrating with a caribou herd and walking 3200 km from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to Canada's Yukon are just some of the adventures Karsten Heuer has been on and that we can only dream about. He shared his stories with us and what he learned along the way.

We sit down with one of the co-founders of Nature Needs Half, Harvey Locke, and talk to him about how the crazy (or not so crazy?) idea for protecting half the planet came about. We also ask Harvey how protecting half the world will work and what it will mean for humans and nature.
