Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scaling climate impact: From local actions to global effects
Q: What topics do you find interesting for this year's Mountain Towns 2030 conference, and what can people look forward to?
Wildfire, drought, and resilience dominate, but the sessions are designed to be accessible after the conference with recordings on YouTube; the emphasis is on practical solutions like learning from Breckenridge's net-zero housing and other peer communities, not just theory.
Can Glen Canyon be saved twice?
Q: How is current land and water management responding to these rapidly changing ecosystems?
He explains that agencies like the Bureau of Reclamation and the National Park Service are not yet fully adapted to these rapid ecological changes, leading to a need for ecosystem-based management rather than treating Glen Canyon solely as a reservoir destination.
Can Glen Canyon be saved twice?
Q: What are some of the impacts of the ongoing drought and declining Lake Powell levels that the public might not hear about?
Balken describes the counterintuitive ecosystem rebound in Glen Canyon as reservoir levels fall, with side canyons and tributaries regaining vegetation and wildlife, which contrasts with the more visible negative effects on recreation and single-destination narratives.
Can Glen Canyon be saved twice?
Q: First, could you tell our listeners a little bit about you personally, your experience in Glen Canyon, and your organization?
Eric Balken explains his background as a Salt Lake City native who fell in love with river ecosystems, his joining Glen Canyon Institute as an intern, and the Institute's mission to restore Glen Canyon and a free-flowing Colorado River through Glen Canyon by researching impacts of the dam and exploring alternative water-management paths.
The Quest to Rewild the American Serengeti
Q: What keeps you hopeful about the future of rewilding at American Prairie?
Seeing wildness spread through the landscape, beaver returning to Beaver Creek, and neighbors admiring bison across fences demonstrates that rewilding can progress under real-world conditions and inspire broader public engagement and support.
