Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Upending the Conventional Wisdom on the Role of Fire and Old-Growth in the PNW
Q: What management practices could help tree plantations develop into healthy old-growth forests in the future?
Thinning and reintroducing fire in dense plantations could promote ecological complexity, wildlife habitat, and resilience to future fires, while the legacy of plantations may need active management to convert them toward landscape-scale old-growth-like conditions.
Is the Alaska "Landless Bill" Land Back or Land Grab?! With Wanda Culp and Joshua Wright
Q: Why is co-management mentioned and is it a viable alternative?
Co-management is discussed as a preferable model, involving consultation with tribes, the state, and private entities, but the guests argue that current dynamics give private corporations outsized influence and that true sovereignty would require more direct tribal governance rather than corporate ownership.
Environmentalists Are Losing on Wildfire. Here's How We Win
Q: What is the intended audience for the guide and how should it be used?
It's intended for conservation and forest advocacy groups as well as climate justice advocates, but it contains information that applies to a broader audience and provides tools for reframing conversations to emphasize community safety and resilience.
Environmentalists Are Losing on Wildfire. Here's How We Win
Q: Who put the guide together and where can people find it?

Xerces Society Founder Robert Pyle on Invertebrate Conservation, Resurrection Ecology, and More!
Q: Could you tell us how you would describe yourself to listeners who might not be familiar with your work?
I'm an independent scholar, a biologist, and a writer who operates at the intersection of science, conservation, and activism, with decades of field and policy experience influencing how I study and protect biodiversity.
