  • Context- who is the real enemy here?

    I listened to the most recent episode with Michelle Lute, and frankly I find the giddy hate towards hunters from both the guest andthe host dissapointing. I think if you actually reached out you would find that hunters and preservationists agree 90% of the time. Greedy corporations, developers, and the politicians they bought and paid for are the real enemies of conservation. I say this as a professional restoration ecologist actually doing rewilding, and a hunter who feeds my family with non... more

  • listened on the eve of trump’s inauguration

    The trump administration has made so many promises that i find terrifying, many in regards to our environmental health and public lands. Not going to lie, i have been pretty morose about what is to come, the episode with the head of the dnr in california that focused on beavers brought me hope. We need to play the long game to support our environment and communities and this episode reminded me of that! Thanks Rewilding, you gave me hope and info when i really needed it!:)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 179. The ESA Harm Rescission: Ecologically Disastrous and a Trap for Companies Attempting to Destroy the Wild — with Earthjustice’s Ben Levitan
Q: What does the process look like between these announcements and what happens on the ground in the courts and in implementation?
A prolonged legal battle is expected, starting with lawsuits from Earthjustice and other groups, followed by judicial review to determine whether the regulation can stand or must be reversed, while on the ground there is ongoing uncertainty for developers and regulators about what is allowed.
Episode 179. The ESA Harm Rescission: Ecologically Disastrous and a Trap for Companies Attempting to Destroy the Wild — with Earthjustice’s Ben Levitan
Q: Can you take us through what was announced last week and how it differs from the previous understanding of harm under the Endangered Species Act?
The agencies rescinded the regulatory definition of harm, effectively removing habitat destruction from the definition of harm, which means activities that destroy habitat could be considered non-harmful under the Act, creating a significant legal and ecological risk that the policy contradicts the statute and its purpose.
Episode 178: The High Stakes of State Wildlife Governance and the Fight for Direct Democracy with Michelle Lute
Q: What can listeners do to get involved?
Join or form state coalitions, participate in Wildlife Commission meetings, build networks with local and national groups, and use available toolkits and state-by-state information to start and support campaigns for democratic wildlife governance.
Episode 178: The High Stakes of State Wildlife Governance and the Fight for Direct Democracy with Michelle Lute

Episode 176: Protecting and Restoring the Wild Heart of the Sky Islands with Louise Misztal
Q: So where do you start when telling people about the threats and what you're doing about it?
Louise explains that they begin with documenting wildlife and water resources along the border, using cameras and field data to tell a scientific story that can guide protections and engage the public, while continuously highlighting the beauty and value of the Sky Islands to motivate action.
