Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 104 - Squirrelled
Q: Hey, can I ask you a question? In what ways do you think one animal can affect another?
Colin explains that introductions of non-native species can outcompete natives for food and habitat, disrupt food webs, and bring diseases, which together push native species toward decline, though predators like the pine martin can sometimes restore balance by reducing invasive populations.
Ep 102 – Beavering away
Q: But what would Emily do if she could hop?
I would talk to every other beaver I could find to understand their goals and behaviors from their perspective, since I can only see so much through my scientific lens, and I want to learn what they are actually doing to manage the landscape.
Ep 98 – Right Whales, Wrong Time
Q: What should someone do if they see a whale in the sea?
Maintain a respectful distance and keep calm, as whales are gentle creatures and can be disturbed by panic.
Ep 98 – Right Whales, Wrong Time
Q: What is Neptune's Navy?
Neptune's Navy is part of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, focused on saving whales and engaging in direct action conservation.
Ep 100 – Liz Bonnin
Q: How do you hope the world looks in 50 years' time?
Bonnin envisions a world where people are reconnected to nature and each other, living in harmony and prioritizing the planet's health alongside community and economic growth.
