In this episode of Life in Motion, we sit down with David Long, founder of Eko Patagonia, a unique eco-lodge blending outdoor adventure with cultural immersion in the heart of Chilean Patagonia. David's journey began as a Rotary Youth Exchange student in Chile, where he was embraced by a host family who became his second home. Years later, a sabbatical from his corporate career led him back to Patagonia, inspiring him to create Eko Patagonia—a place where travelers can experience the beauty of the region while connecting deeply with its people and traditions. David shares how his lodge focuses on sustainability, from repurposing shipping containers to sourcing local ingredients for immersive farm-to-table experiences. He also introduces us to the concept of alive, awake, aware—a philosophy that helps guests embrace personal transformation through adventure, culture, and nature. If you're looking for an unforgettable way to explore Patagonia while giving back to the community, this episode is for you. Life in Motion is brought to you by Actual Outdoors.

by Christian Elliott • A unique fjord in Chilean Patagonia gives scientists a chance to unlock the reproductive secrets of cold-water corals that typically live thousands of meters below the ocean's surface. The original story can be found on hakaimagazine.com. Listeners, we have some important news.

But we are happy to announce that our team has found a new home! In January, our senior staff will join bioGraphic, an award-winning magazine published by the California Academy of Sciences, a nonprofit research and education institution based in San Francisco. We're absolutely delighted about this merger. Hakai Magazine and bioGraphic have so much in common: both are independent, nonprofit publications committed to telling deeply reported and rigorously accurate stories that are also beautiful to read. We hope you will come join us there! Please sign up for our newsletter and get more information by going to biographic.com/hakai-magazine.

Tucked away in a corner of Chilean Patagonia, Valle Cochamó wasn't going to stay hidden forever. The soaring unclimbed granite walls instilled dreams of first ascents in climbers. Industrialists eyed its free flowing rivers with their potential for hydroelectric power. Conservationists hoped it could provide a final puzzle piece of an incredible protected wildlife corridor. To the families who live there, it was simply home where they ranched amidst the 3,000-year-old Alerce trees. This is the story of how a coalition of Chilean gauchos, climbers and activists fought off development efforts for two decades. Now there is an opportunity for a lasting conservation victory.

Welcome to episode 155! This week, Shafik Meghji rejoins me for a second time to discuss travelling in Patagonia. In this episode, we will touch on Cordoba, Argentina's second city, and why it isn't on the traveller's radar for travel in Argentina. We discuss the best times to travel to Patagonia, the issue of over-tourism, and the different entry points into the region. We explore the landscapes and attractions of Patagonia's Argentine and Chilean sides, including the Peninsula Valdes, Welsh Patagonia, Los Glaciares National Park, and the Lake District. Patagonia can be expensive, but we mention the affordability of travelling by bus in the region and highlight the Tren del Fin del Mundo, the southernmost railway on earth, and travelling by boat in Chile to reach Patagonia.Shafik talked us through his previous travels to the region when he visited Ushuaia, South Georgia, the Falkland Islands and Antarctica. Shafik has travelled in the region for the last two decades and was based in Buenas Aires for a year in his younger days. He is an expert in the region, and I am so glad to get his thoughts on Patagonia. Thanks, Shafik, for coming to the show; we will get that hat trick in!TakeawaysPatagonia is a vast region spanning the southern halves of Argentina and Chile, known for its dramatic landscapes and wilderness.The best times to visit Patagonia are spring + autumn to avoid the peak summer crowds.Overtourism is a concern in popular spots like Torres del Paine.Comfortable buses offer amenities like meals + entertainment.The End of the World Train in Ushuaia, Argentina, was built by convict labour + is now a tourist attraction.Ushuaia is the main port for ships to Antarctica, and visiting Antarctica is a popular tourist activity.Cordoba, Argentina's second city, is known for its beautiful architecture, universities, and surrounding natural attractions.Travelling independently in Patagonia is possible with some planning, and the public transport network is reliable.Train travel in Europe is a great way to explore the continent.Shafik MeghjiWebsiteInstagramWinging It Travel PodcastWebsiteCreditsHost/Producer/Creator/Writer/Composer/Editor - James HammondPodcast Art Design - Swamp Soup Company - Harry UttonSupport Winging ItBuy Me A Coffee - HereMerch Store - Here Buy My Digital Travel Planner - HereAffiliate Links If you book anything using my resources link below, I get a tiny commission, which helps the podcast.https://www.wingingittravelpodcast.com/resourcesThanks!Hosted by Ausha.

https://femaleguidesrequested.com/podcast/ep-31-sof-petros-question-the-establishments/Show Notes:Sof's Links:Sof Petros on InstagramClimbers of ColorEpisode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, happy Wednesday. This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today we have a young and inspiring guest whose name is Sof Petros. I got to know her a little last summer when I taught an SPI course for the Climbers of Color. She was the assistant Rock Director of the organization and helped me with many tasks. She was thorough, an excellent communicator and her emails were always filled with loads of positive energy and humor.Sof is an AMGA SPI and a PSIA AASI Certified Alpine Ski instructor. She does rock guiding with Climbers of Color in Washington, Out in the Wild in Oregon, and Flash Foxy in California and teaches skiing in Stevens Pass Washington. She does admirable work in affinity space providing safe and supportive learning environments. To quote her words, she is “amped to join and lead affinity programming that not only brings communities together, but also challenges and questions systems and values of supremacy, domination, and oppression that manifest in climbing spaces, even ‘diverse ones.'”In this episode, she recalled that her family always liked to play outside. Even though the activities they chose were not “technical recreation,” the sense of connection to nature and the land was very impactful. We of course talked much about affinity programs. Sof shared valuable insights on how we could make the environment more inclusive, which would also help guides manage risks and provide better student experience.Beyond climbing and skiing, Sof can be found baking lots of bread, crying over just about every dog she sees, making jewelry, taking outdoor naps, eating really good pickles and hot sauces, and trying to make craft cocktails on her truck tailgate. Now let's dive into this lighthearted yet serious conversation with Sof Petros.Things We Talked about:Sof's upbringingCentral park bouldering started her climbing pathWearing multiple hats for her careerStarting guiding in college at Columbia university in New Your CityIn summers guiding long multi-week trips in CO and WYWhat brought Sof to Pacific NorthwestAfter college, Sof started a job in Chilean Patagonia and found her love towards oceanWhy Sof uses the term “technical recreation”?How should we define outdoors and outdoorsy?How does Sof's family see her now?Camping and backpacking with mom; skiing and climbing with little brotherWorking with and in affinity spacesWhat are the social and emotional risk factors?Feedback she got from non-affinity groups after she brought the practices used in affinity spaceContemplating where she can make the most impactHow can we make the principals we practice in affinity space more common sense?Why is it that hard for changes to happen?Sof's personal experience going through the first BIPOC Guides Development Program hosted by Alpine AscentsInclusive guiding practiceIs how hard you climb and hard fast you ski important?And more…

Erik continues his interview with Kyle Sheridan. The Sheridans' ministry is nestled at the foot of the Andes in the capital of northern Chilean Patagonia. They were married in 2011, and after one year of deputation, with a newborn baby, they stepped out by faith to come to South America to plant the first independent Baptist church in Chilean Patagonia. It is called Bible Baptist Church of Coyhaique.

The noble tree house – all natural materials, sturdy construction, aloof from the troubles of the world. In a more dangerous time in human history, their position above the ground would protect the dweller against environmental difficulties and possible predators. As modern construction has improved, these arboreal residences have become less of a practical dwelling and more of a children's novelty - a secret den erected in many a back garden. But now, these fun shelters are appealing to adults too and many are booking themselves in for a few nights among the treetops.高贵的树屋——全天然材料，坚固的结构，远离尘世的烦恼。在人类历史上一个更加危险的时期，它们在地面上的位置将保护居民免受环境困难和可能的捕食者的影响。随着现代建筑的改进，这些树栖住宅已不再是实用的住宅，而更像是儿童的新奇事物——在许多后花园中竖立的秘密巢穴。但现在，这些有趣的避难所也吸引了成年人，许多人都在树梢上预订了几个晚上。These tree house hotels can be found From Europe to Australia. Best of all, they come in a variety of interesting designs! From the traditional 'four walls and a roof' habitation, such as at TreeHouse Point, in Washington, North America, to the more artistic Nothofagus Hotel in Chilean Patagonia, whose twelve-sided walls make it look like a beehive. If that doesn't appeal, how about a tree pod?从欧洲到澳大利亚都可以找到这些树屋酒店。最重要的是，它们有各种有趣的设计！从传统的“四墙一屋顶”住宅，如北美华盛顿的 TreeHouse Point，到智利巴塔哥尼亚更具艺术气息的 Nothofagus Hotel，其十二面墙使其看起来像一个蜂巢。如果这不吸引人，那么树荚怎么样？The Free Spirit Spheres resort on Vancouver Island in Canada allows guests to stay in one of three yellow spheres, which are suspended from trees. The company was founded in 1998 by Tom Chudleigh, who hand built the pods from cedar wood and fibre glass, and then added fixtures and fittings. Not only are they as safe as houses, they're popular! Visitor numbers have probably doubled in the past five years, Mr Chudleigh tells the BBC.位于加拿大温哥华岛的 Free Spirit Spheres 度假村允许客人入住三个悬挂在树上的黄色球体之一。该公司由 Tom Chudleigh 于 1998 年创立，他用雪松木和玻璃纤维手工制作豆荚，然后添加了固定装置和配件。它们不仅像房子一样安全，而且很受欢迎！查德利先生告诉 BBC，过去五年来游客人数可能翻了一番。Digs which are original seem to be a big draw. In Sweden, at the Treehotel, numbers have also risen. "In 2010, we had four rooms and around 1,500 guests a year. Today we have seven rooms and nearly 5,000 guests," Kent Lindvall explains. Mr Lindvall co-owns the Treehotel with his wife Britta Lindvall. Each of the domiciles there was designed by an architect, who was asked to make use of the light and surroundings. Their abodes include a mirrored cube, a bird's nest and a UFO.原创的挖掘似乎是一个很大的吸引力。在瑞典，Treehotel 的人数也有所增加。“2010 年，我们有四个房间，每年约有 1,500 名客人。今天我们有七个房间和近 5,000 名客人，”Kent Lindvall 解释道。Lindvall 先生与他的妻子 Britta Lindvall 共同拥有 Treehotel。那里的每个住所都是由一位建筑师设计的，他被要求利用光线和周围环境。他们的住所包括一个镜面立方体、一个鸟巢和一个不明飞行物。And how about an office? Microsoft, hoping to give its employees thinking space, has commissioned a three-building structure from Pete Nelson, tree house book author and designer and builder of tree houses. "Studies show people can work better in nature. They are more productive," says Mr Nelson.办公室怎么样？微软希望为其员工提供思考空间，已委托树屋书籍作者、树屋设计师和建造者皮特纳尔逊建造了一座三栋建筑。“研究表明，人们可以在大自然中更好地工作。他们更有生产力，”尼尔森先生说。If you've no head for heights, then maybe a tree house getaway isn't going to be your home away from home. But the sense of adventure, the novelty of the setting and the opportunity to return to nature has given an increasing number of tree house-staying adults something to write home about.如果您没有攀登高峰，那么也许树屋度假不会成为您的家外之家。但是冒险的感觉、环境的新颖性和回归自然的机会，让越来越多的树屋住宿的成年人有一些值得写回家的东西。词汇表construction 构造dweller 城市、城镇居民residence 住宅dwelling 住所，房屋den 简易房shelter 临时住所habitation 住所pod（通常为圆形的）简易小屋fixture 固定装置fitting 可拆除的装置（如炉灶或柜子）as safe as houses 非常安全的digs 借宿的地方domicile 住宅abode 住所structure 大型建筑物home away from home 家外之家，宾至如归的地方

> Find galleries, blog posts and many more episodes at www.mountainairpodcast.ukEpisode 2#08 sits down with the charming and disarming J.R. Harris. Since 1966, J. Robert Harris has undertaken more than 50 multi-week trips into the world's wild places: “all unsupported and most of them alone”. He's driven to where the US road systems end (or did in the late 60s), 120 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska, and he's since been above the Arctic Circle 15 times (“there's a lot I want to see up there”, he says). He's tracked down caribou migrations in the Yukon, lived amongst Inuit people, and walked some of the finest hiking trails in the Dolomites, on New Zealand's South Island, in Chilean Patagonia and in the North American Rockies. And, after a lifetime of making dramatic journeys an annual habit, in 2017 he published his first memoir: Way Out There: Adventures of a Wilderness Trekker.Perhaps most impressively of all though is this: he's just a regular guy from New York. Well, perhaps not so regular. He grew up poor in one of the city's many low-income housing projects with a lot of family love and support, but no money to make his ambitions happen… and the outdoors wasn't even a part of his thinking until the Boy Scouts introduced him to landscapes without pigeons, concrete and cockroaches. He got a job, earned himself a scholarship and put himself through university at Queen's College. After graduation, he founded his own marketing company and settled into a life of work, family, and meticulous planning of audacious adventures all across the planet.Since 1993 he's been a member of the prestigious Explorer's Club, and in recent years he's dedicated himself to giving motivational talks to schools, clubs and social organisations. J.R.'s message is simple: if he can do it, then you can do it.> Find out all about J.R. at https://www.jrinthewilderness.com/Listen, enjoy, tell your friends, subscribe to the podcast if you get and chance, and thank UKHillwalking.com for their kind support of this series![episode recorded on 09/06/22]00:00 - Introduction02:35 - Welcome, a native New Yorker with a 50 or 60 Grateful Dead t-shirts05:45 - Growing up in the projects, “life was tough, but you get a certain knowledge that doesn't come through books or school”07:40 - A “kicking and screaming” sign up for the Boy Scouts, “it was not compatible with growing up in the city”. 09:00 - “The first time I ever saw grass I tried to smoke it”12:20 - Requisitioning food and heading out into the wild to be alone with nature: “I would spend most of my time in the summer off by myself”14:00 - “There were very few black kids there. It was probably a combination of parents who couldn't afford it, and a crazy notion that Boy Scouts wasn't really the kind of thing that a black kid from the street in New York city would want to be in. That was the mindset back then”.15:05 - “I was a different guy when I came back… and I got a lot of respect somehow”.16:45 - “My folks told me when I was young that they would give me everything they could that I would need to be successful. But they also told me that everything they gave me would not be enough, and that if I wanted to fulfil my dreams - whatever they may be - I was pretty much going to have to make that happen”, working, being awarded a scholarship and attending Queen's College to study Psychology.20:40 - First travels: “a piece of crap Volkswagen Beetle” and a 9,000 mile road trip as far north as roads go, 120 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska (“there would be no vehicles between me and the North Pole”).23:50 - “I want to know what's behind those mountains. I want to know what rivers, valleys and wildlife… and what it's like to be back there.”26:00 - “... sitting on the back of my car holding two coins: a quarter and a dime.

(“I've never been lonely out there, and I've never come back early from a trip”)40:20 - “I'm a curious guy with a valid credit card”44:00 - “The smartest thing I ever did in all these trips was to keep a journal… now I'm pushing 80 I'm still doing trips, I'm still writing journals”46:18 - Contrasting the different environments around the world.49:00 - “I plan very intricately, and I take the time to send away for topo maps”, researching long-distance trips in the pre-internet age.51:10 - Gear chat, testing outdoor kit for Backpacker magazine (“nobody can tell me my pack is too heavy, because nobody's carrying it but me”)54:50 - “I'm using the same Thermarest mattress that I was using in 1980”55:45 - Hand-rolled cigars and a pint of Cognac (“it's going to last you 18 days”)59:30 - Is there anyone that's inspired you? “To be totally honest: no. And the reason is: there was nobody. I always wanted to be an explorer, but there was never any explorer I could look up to. I knew somebody like Matthew Henson who went to the North Pole in 1909 was a black man. But they never taught us about that in school. I heard about (Robert) Peary, but I never knew there was a guy with him that looked like me… I had to find my own motivation, I had to find my own inspiration”61:30 - Motivational talks to New York schools: “If I can do it, you can do it”66:45 - Greatest mountain memory… 10 March 1992, losing the trail, a backpack, a lot of body heat, and nearly everything in the mountains of south-west Tasmania (“the hardest trip I ever did, by the way”). 71:15 - All the time, money, freedom… what would you do? Five places: the top of Everest, the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the North Pole, the South Pole, the moon.

Follow legendary mountaineer Rick Ridgeway on the most profound adventure of his life, a journey through the Himalayas in search of a lost friend. In 1980, while climbing a remote peak in eastern Tibet, Rick and his three climbing partners were hit by a devastating avalanche. Rick survived but as he pulled himself out from under the snow, he saw his best friend Jonathan Wright lying on the ground not moving. He gave him mouth-to-mouth, he stroked his hair, he held him in his lap, but it wasn't enough. Jonathan died a few minutes later in his arms. As he died, Rick made a promise. Thousands of miles away Jonathan's baby daughter, Asia, was taking her first steps. He promised he would be there for her and watch over her as she grew. 18 years later, Asia turned up on his doorstep with a favor to ask. She wanted to go find her father's grave to pay her respects, and she wanted to Rick to take her. This is the story of the adventure. "A life worth living is lived at the edges where it is wild"                     - Rick RidgewayBut it is also the story of one of the greatest mountaineers of all time. Rick's latest book is called 'Life Lived Wild: Adventures at the Edge of the Map'.  It is a beautiful memoir of a life lived to the full, immersed in the beauty and adventure of the natural world.

Moisés Jimenez is an ultra runner for The North Face and the founder of Vert.run. Moi was born in Venezuela, but he grew up in the Chilean Patagonia, an incredibly wild and unspoilt territory which inspired his passion for trail running. He currently lives in Annecy, France, with his wife Kirsten Kortebein, where you can find them enjoying any kind of outdoor activity in the alpine playground or a cup of coffee on the lake. In 2021, Moi decided to focus his training on UTMB, the incredible 170km - 10000m loop around Mont Blanc. After dropping out in the latest stage of the race, he picked himself up and decided that he was not done for the year. He dedicated some time to recovery and, in the meanwhile, he got married. Eventually, Moi went on to take a wonderful third place at Maxi Race 50 mile, his final race of the 2021 season and also his home race in Annecy. In this episode we learn from him how he planned his training for UTMB and Maxi Race, and how he handled the effort, the nutrition and the mental strategy for his 50 miler.

What was fascinating to me was learning about Bjarne's extensive ski mountaineering history all over the world including Chamonix, Patagonia, New Zealand, Alaska, all over North America, and more. Bjarne's skill, resilience, and ability to stay calm in the mountains is remarkable. Bjarne was filming his close friend Andreas Franson when Andreas passed away in an avalanche with legendary freestyle skier JP Auclair deep in Chilean Patagonia in 2015. Like so many of us who dedicate our lives to the mountains, this was not the only close friend Bjarne has lost. Learning Bjarne's perspective on life, his willingness to confront drastic change head-on and his vicious passion for the mountains changed me, and hope it changes you.

GOVERNMENT CHANGES HGV AND TOWING TESTSIn a bid to reduce the backlog of tests and increase the number of HGV drivers, the Government has decided to do away with some of the previously mandatory requirements to show someone was a safe and competent driver. There will only be one single HGV test, for both rigid body and articulated lorries. The hitching and reversing elements are no longer required either. To find out more, click the YesAuto link here.

Born in Boston, raised in New York City suburbs, our guest today, Atila Monteiro, went to the University of California Berkeley to study in 1984 and instantly fell in love with outdoor adventures. He worked for Cal Adventures and guided with ARTA river trips before taking a white water Instructors Course with NOLS in 1992. Atila mainly worked paddling (raft, white water kayak, canoe, sea kayak), hiking and Spanish language courses. He started teaching wilderness medicine in 2002 with WMI. Atila lived in Chilean Patagonia, working as NOLS Patagonia Program Manager from 1998 to 2002, and Asst. Director from 2002-2004. From 2004-2005 he was also the NOLS Mexico Director. He started the NOLS Amazon program in 2005 and was Program Manager there until 2009.  He now owns a small company named Backcountry Brasil that offers remote backcountry trips in the Brazilian Amazon and teaches full-time for NOLS Wilderness Medicine. Atila now lives in Bend, Oregon. In this episode: (02:23) Atila starts the interview by telling us about his experience crossing to the Midriff Island. He talks about how he and his friends planned a trip to cross the Gulf of California in October 1996 and how an adventurous, fun trip took a drastic turn when the sea current started setting them back. After struggle paddling through it, Atila mentions how they neared an anonymous island where they were greeted with the colony of sea lions.   (23:53) Moving forward, Atila shares stories from an epic canoe scouting trip to the Amazon with a group of veteran NOLS instructors to prepare for future NOLS courses.   (30:42) He further tells us how they encountered a new experience when they paddled through the ‘Coca-cola water' – a bizarre contrast of tannic acid and whitewater. Going forward, he shares their first-night camping in Amazon that turned into a nightmare when an army of ants and leaf cutters attack them. There were many more dramatic yet funny stories he shared with us.   (52:40) Atila shares a near-drowning experience on Bile in Chile in 1995.    (01:05:00) We throw our quick, intriguing rapid-fire questions at Atila to dig deeper into his favourite locations to lead trips and his go-to gear to take along. He entertains us more when asked to share his favourite backcountry costume – to which he shares a humorous story.

This week we venture to Chilean Patagonia; we hike Monte Tarn, originally ascended by Darwin himself and explore the famous Torres del Paine, an image I had seen many years back and had finally arrived to.I share with you the magic of these natural sites, the realisation of dreams and the wonderful couch surf hosts who looked after me so well.I also mention the ice cap melting, global warming and how more greens can help regenerate our Earth. Less desertification and more trees and plants will really help our Earth's ability to cool down. Remember trees and greens are our Earth's natural air conditioning system.Thank you also to Laura, who made a donation to my Patreon community this week. If you can support me on my mission - and are getting something from my messages - I would really appreciate it. Thanks again to the patrons, you've helped me spread this important message, make a difference in the world and also feed my ducks lol.Big hugs to you all

Church bells ringing out at 7pm in the town centre of Punta Arenas in Patagonia, southern Chile, as heard from the balcony of a nearby hotel. Punta Arenas is the most southerly airport in South America, and the town is the gateway to Chilean Patagonia. Recorded by Cities and Memory.

A long layover in one of the world's most southerly airports, at the tip of Chilean Patagonia, as we waited for a flight back to Santiago. There's very little to see or do in this tiny airport, as you might expect, but you can hear the sounds of traditional Chilean music being piped in, some chatter in Spanish, and those typical sounds of a transient space holding mostly people who are on their way to - or from - an incredible trip to one of the most beautiful parts of the world.Recorded by Cities and Memory.Part of the Until We Travel project to map and reimagine the sounds of transport and travel in a pre-pandemic and pandemic world.

On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Dr. John Howe, a Senior Lecturer in Marine Geology at the Scottish Association of Marine Scientists (SAMS). His expertise is in fjord geomorphology and glaciomarine sedimentation. He is the operator of the UK Gavia AUV, Freya, and he has participated in more than 30 cruises to regions including the Arctic, Svalbard, Indian Ocean, Papua New Guinea and the Chilean Patagonia.  John discusses several of his recent trips with the Gavia and the advantages that Autonomous Underwater Vehicles provide for researchers. For more information about the work being done with Freya and the programs being offered at SAMs, follow along on Twitter or visit the official SAMs website.

The River Pingo flows through the Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia - we took a trek out to the Cascado Salto waterfall, walking along the riverside. In this particular part, the river flows very rapidly over a rock formation in a particular way that generates a low "blooping" tone, almost as if the river is playing its own bassline to accompany its flow - listen out for it in the recording.  Recorded by Cities and Memory.

A three-hour walk along the banks of the river Pingo in Chilean Patagonia takes us through a lush, green forest and finally to the Cascado Salto waterfall.  With a little bit of careful climbing around some slippery rocks, it was possible to get close in for this close-take recording of the torrenting water. Recorded by Cities and Memory.

This episode of the Lead with Nature Podcast is unique. Long-time colleagues in the field of wildlife tracking and conservation, Dan and Dr. Elbroch cover a range of topics relevant to Mark's newest book: The Cougar Conundrum: Sharing the World with A Successful Predator. They dive deep into the rich history of wildlife conservation and management in the United States - beginning with Teddy Roosevelt - and discuss the disproportionate influence that a small percentage of Americans have on the fate of wildlife today. Central to this dialogue is the role of hunting and hunters (as well as the co-opting of hunting culture by special interest groups). Mark and Dan share personal experiences in research, politics, hunting and the complexity of managing landscapes and species. SHOW NOTES Dr Elbroch’s Bio Mark Elbroch serves as the Director for Panthera's Puma Program, for which he designs conservation research for mountain lions in North and South America. In 2005, Mark was awarded a Senior Tracker Certificate by CyberTracker Conservation in Kruger National Park, South Africa, after successfully following lions across varied terrain. He was the 17th person to receive one and the first non-African. He is the Initial Evaluator for CyberTracker Tracker Evaluations in North America (http://trackercertification.com/), where they have been used to test observer reliability in wildlife research and as an educational tool by nonprofit organizations. Mark received an honorary Master Tracker Certificate in 2015 for significant contributions to the conservation of tracking knowledge and the trackers themselves. He has authored/coauthored 10 books on natural history, including two award-winning books on wildlife tracking, Animal Skulls: A Guide to North American Species, and the Peterson Reference Guide to the Behavior of North American Mammals. The second edition of Mammal Tracks and Sign, which he promises will be a much better resource than its predecessor, will be published in July of this year. More can be found at https://markelbroch.com/. Mark earned his doctoral degree at the University of California - Davis, where his dissertation research focused on mountain lion ecology in Chilean Patagonia. He has contributed to mountain lion research and conservation in Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, California, Mexico, Chile, and now in Washington. His research is contributing radical changes to what we thought we knew about mountain lions, especially with regards to their social lives and their keystone roles in ecosystems. His work has been covered by the BBC, NatGeo Wild, New York Times, National Public Radio, the Washington Post, among others. He received a 2011 Robert and Patricia Switzer Fellowship for his past and potential environmental leadership, and was the recipient of the prestigious Craighead Conservation Award in 2017, an award honoring individuals whose work has achieved “lasting conservation outcomes.   How To Follow or to Learn More About Dr. Mark Elbroch Mark is Lead Scientist for the Puma Program at Panthera: www.panthera.org/initiative/puma-program You can learn all about him on his website: www.MarkElbroch.com  To learn more about the book: https://islandpress.org/books/cougar-conundrum Read his writings for National Geographic here: https://blog.nationalgeographic.org/tag/mark-elbroch/

We're back—albeit this time from a closet in Dallas and a Brooklyn living room, rather than the podcast studio. This week, we're joined by comedian and actor Jenny Slate, who, despite growing up thinking the only way to have a relaxing vacation was at the beach, has traveled everywhere from Norway's Lofoten archipelago above the Arctic Circle to Chilean Patagonia. Along the way, she's come to terms with the fact that she may be the world's worst packer—and that feeling lonely on a solo trip doesn't have to be a bad thing. In our latest episode, we talk to her from her Massachusetts home about how she's learned to lean into adventure trips, what she treats herself to when she's on vacation, and how she's coping with social distancing and self-isolation.  Find a full transcription and links to book Jenny mentioned here: https://www.cntraveler.com/story/jenny-slate-women-who-travel-podcast Follow Meredith: @ohheytheremere Follow Lale: @lalehannah Follow Women Who Travel: @womenwhotravel Learn more about your ad choices.

We first met Ford back in episode 81 when he came on the show to talk about his solo journey from the US down the Pan-American Highway. He was in Colombia at the time, and now, after 2.5 years on the road, he is back home. He joins us today to reflect on the journey and give tons of great advice for anyone considering driving the Pan-American Highway. I actually met up with Ford in person last fall and we drove through Chilean Patagonia together (the Carretera Austral) for about five weeks. We will continue this conversation in the next episode to talk about that specific part of his journey as well.

In 2002, Mayan Smith-Gobat was in a ski accident and broke her jaw and both feet. Within a few weeks, she turned her focus to climbing and began training while her feet were still in casts. Nine years later, she became the second woman ever to free climb the Salathé Wall on El Capitan. Today, she’s concentrating on Riders on the Storm, a 1,300-meter big wall on the icy east face of Torre Central in Chilean Patagonia, which still hasn’t had a free ascent. For more on this climb, check out Smith-Gobat's article "Stillness and Storms" in Issue 55 of Alpinist magazine.
