    Did you know that one in ten jobs worldwide is in the tourism industry? I think we're all sometimes guilty of merrily going on our travels without giving much thought to the people behind the scenes that make this possible. In this episode I chat with three people in very different careers in the travel area and hear some of the behind-the-scenes of what makes tourism tick. First up, Suyash Keshari, founder of Ameliya Safaris, gives us the rundown of a typical day in the life of a safari guide. It's interesting to hear the ups and the downs of what sounds like a dream job. Next, I speak with John Roberts, who's the Group Director of Sustainability and Conservation in the Minor Hotels group. He tells me about some of the challenges and goals of implementing sustainability actions and policies across a hundreds of hotels in different parts of the world. Finally, Jamie Burr describes how he entered the tourism industry and explains his previous and current roles in marketing. His thoughts on how travel businesses can promote themselves through telling stories rather than posting trip deals are especially interesting.

    In this episode of The Green Way Outdoors Podcast, we take a look at one of the strangest and deadliest natural disasters you've probably never heard of — the 1986 Lake Nyos disaster in Cameroon. Overnight, a silent cloud of carbon dioxide erupted from the lake, wiping out over 1,700 people and countless animals in minutes. We break down what caused it, the terrifying science behind limnic eruptions, and how events like this could still happen elsewhere. Plus, in his podcast debut, our Director of Photography Andy shares his own brush with danger — a close call with a charging rhino — and we talk about how these rare encounters can change your understanding of nature's power.Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:  - HISTORY - TUBI Follow us on: - Facebook  - Instagram - Twitter - Youtube - Our Website

    In celebration of the National Day of the Cowboy, we're taking you to the “cowboy side of California” — the small town of Parkfield — where the Varian family has spent generations stewarding the land, building community, and sharing the values of ranch life. Located in the Cholame Valley, the V6 Ranch is more than a working cattle operation. It's a living legacy of conservation, hospitality, and heritage.In this episode, host and CEO, Michael Delbar, sits down with Jack, John, and Lauren Varian to share the story of their ranch. They discuss what it means to protect the land through a conservation easement with the California Rangeland Trust, and how they open their gates to the public through cattle drives, trail rides, and cowboy academies. Together, they talk about what it means to live with the land, to honor the past while preparing for the future, and to keep the spirit of the West alive.If you want to learn more about how you can get involved in the work that we do, visit rangelandtrust.orgWant to learn more?

Today there are pockets of grizzly bear populations in the Rocky Mountains from Yellowstone to Glacier National Parks. Among the questions that revolve around grizzly bears is how many are too many, are they a threat to humans, should they be removed from the landscape, or protected? To explore those issues our guests today are Erin Edge and Joseph Vaile from Defenders of Wildlife, a nonprofit wildlife advocacy organization.

    Send us a textLately, the town of Southport, North Carolina has had some excitement, 20 alligator removals since May, setting a new record. For a resident named Bonner Herring and his trusty Labrador Strike, that almost ended in tragedy. In this episode, Shoresides catches up with them to hear their story and to wonder about the prospect of increased human-alligator conflict in coastal communities.Here are five key things to know about alligators in North Carolina:1. Where Alligators Live in North CarolinaAlligators are native to the southeastern corner of North Carolina, primarily in the coastal plain. They are commonly found in:SwampsMarshesRiversLakesCanalsThe northernmost limit of the American alligator's natural range includes parts of Brunswick, New Hanover, Pender, and Onslow counties, although occasional sightings occur farther north due to dispersal.2. Alligators Are ProtectedIn North Carolina, alligators are classified as a species of special concern. This means:It is illegal to hunt, harm, harass, or kill them without a specific permit.The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission manages alligator populations through careful monitoring and regulated removals in cases where safety is at risk.In some years, the state authorizes limited hunting through an alligator management program, but only under strict controls.3. Alligator Encounters Are IncreasingDue to rising populations and human development expanding into natural habitats, sightings have become more frequent. Important things to remember:Do not feed alligators—this is illegal and makes them more dangerous.Keep a safe distance (at least 60 feet).If you see an alligator near homes or public areas, report it to wildlife authorities if it poses a risk.4. Alligators and Cold WeatherNorth Carolina is near the northern edge of the alligator's habitat, so they have unique ways of surviving winter:Alligators brumate, which is similar to hibernation, becoming inactive during cold months.They use a technique called “icing” or “snorkeling”, where they keep their snout above frozen water to breathe while remaining submerged beneath the ice.They can survive brief freezes, but prolonged cold can be fatal, which naturally limits how far north they can thrive.5. Conservation and CoexistenceAlligators play an important role in the ecosystem by:Controlling prey populations (such as turtles, fish, and small mammals).Creating “gator holes”, which provide habitat for other wildlife during droughts.For safety and conservation:Never attempt to relocate or handle an alligator on your own.Teach children about alligator safety, especially near coastal waterways.Support conservation efforts that protect wetlands and preserve balanced ecosystems.If you'd like, I can help you find local guides, safety tips, or educational resources for schools and community groups in North Carolina.

    Conservation is about collaboration, and collaboration is what we are discussing today. Ocean collaboration is at the heart of many conservation success stories, but what happens when it breaks down? In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin talks with Bart Oor, the founder of Balean, a platform created to support independent ocean conservationists by giving them the funding, structure, and digital tools to succeed. They dive into the barriers many changemakers face when working outside of traditional institutional channels and how a lack of communication and community support often holds back ocean progress. Balean's mission is to foster a decentralized, human-centered support network for ocean missions. Bart shares how his background in engineering led him to build Balean as a solution to the gaps he witnessed in ocean collaboration. This episode also reflects on Andrew and Bart's own partnership and how aligned values and open communication can shape stronger ocean solutions. Whether you're an early-career marine conservationist or a funder looking to empower grassroots initiatives, this conversation is a powerful call to action.

    Come with us to Arab, Alabama, to meet Phyllis Light, herbalist, responsible forager, native plant conservation advocate, founder of the Appalachian Center for Natural Health, and author of Southern Folk Medicine: Healing Traditions from the Appalachian Fields and Forests. Phyliss Light was born on Brindlee Mountain, in this southwest extension of the Appalachian Mountains, into a family with Creek and Cherokee Indian roots. She learned herbalism from her grandmother, and spent long days of her childhood “gleaning” – harvesting wild foods and medicines, fishing and hunting, with her father. “It was a very practical kind of herbalism,” Phyliss explains, “if it didn't work, we didn't use it. We didn't have the money to go to the doctor unless it was something drastic.” As an adult she was an apprentice of the late Tommie Bass, the world-renowned healer known as “the Herb Doctor of Shinbone Ridge.” Although she has taught herbal medicine across the US, she has lived her whole life, and raised her family, on Brindlee Mountain. “There are over four thousand species of plants in this state,” she says, “and this is the place I know best-I've never needed to live anywhere else.”  Her book, Traditional Southern Folk Medicine, combines her unmatched knowledge of native plant medicine with deeply researched history into how this uniquely American healing tradition evolved, and how it has never been more relevant or needed than it is today.

    As everyone knows, Sen. Lee's public land sales provision was pulled from the Reconciliation bill at the last moment, giving public lands champions a big win. However, this wasn't the first, nor will it be the last attempt to sell public lands. What led to this effort, and what can we do to quash it in the future? In a two part series, Dave and Nephi dive into those questions, and more. Part 1 focuses on the history of public lands, including the acquisition of lands, disposal of lands, conditions for admission of states to the Union, reserving lands for various purposes, ending homesteading, why we have so much public land in the west, and what sorts of events led to a desire to sell public lands. In Part II, the guys will discuss the future of public lands, and possible solutions to turn down the temperature.

He spearheaded a movement in the South that expanded across the country forever changing the landscape of herd health and habitat quality. I met Mr. Joe years ago at Rose Hill Plantation sometime in the early 2000's.
