This summer, Hideo Miyazaki will be releasing his final animated film before retiring. Environmental stewardship has been a consistent theme throughout his work, from My Neighbor Totoro to Spirited Away to Princess Mononoke. But what exactly has he been saying all this time about our relationship to the natural world? I gather a panel of experts to discuss the worlds that Miyazaki creates, and how his stories tap into current debates around the climate crisis. Featuring Yuan Pan, lecturer on Environmental Management at the University of Reading, and environmental journalists and authors Isaac Yuen and Emma Marris.   This episode is sponsored by ExpressVPN and Factor.

On this episode of Free Range, Mike Livermore is joined by Emma Marris, an award-winning environmental writer and author of Wild Souls: Freedom and Flourishing in the Non-human World. (0:00-1:26) The two begin the discussion by analyzing how nature is defined and valued. Marris critiques the concept of nature; for her, there is no “unspoiled” nature free from human influence, and the idea is associated with colonialist efforts to deny rights to indigenous communities. Marris contrasts the concept of nature with wilderness, which emphasizes the autonomy of non-human animals. The subject of wild animal suffering has seen increasing focus in animal welfare circles. Marris was drawn to the subject when observing certain conservation practices, especially concerning so-called “invasive species.” Many of these practices involve killing wild animals, and she saw that there were difficult moral questions that were often ignored. (1:47-18:40) The conversation moves into the ethics of zoos. Marris believes zoos are unethical as they stand today, even though they have positioned themselves as conservation organizations. While some zoos run breeding programs for endangered species and encourage the public to care more about wild animals, animals endure a lot of suffering in most institutions. When considering the ethics of zoos, one important question is whether and how the notion of animal autonomy is relevant. (18:41-30:39) Zoos and hunting present quite different questions concerning wild animal suffering. For Marris, hunting can be conducted in many different ways, with some being ethical and some not. The two discuss how the attitude of the hunter may or may not matter in the moral calculus. (30:40-43:35) Switching to a more overarching conversation about the ethics of food consumption, Marris notes that simply existing in the modern world requires the consumption of goods that had a production process that at some point harmed another group. She also raises the question of why we should even care about nature, biodiversity, animals, etc. in general. It is difficult to describe exactly what we value. Livermore notes that the field of environmental ethics is relatively new in human moral discourse, so it isn't very surprising that there are many open questions. (43:35-50:14) For the remainder of the podcast, Livermore and Marris discuss the paradox of life and suffering. The fundamental truth of nature is that life cannot occur without suffering and ecosystems would not exist without death. While Marris believes that this issue can never be resolved, she is attracted to the views of philosopher Val Plumwood, who argued that we need to hold reconcilable values at the same time. In order to live, we all want to consume energy but it is impossible to do so while keeping everything alive, vibrant, and diverse. (50:15-57:11)

Strange things have been happening in recent weeks at the Dallas Zoo. First, a clouded leopard went missing from its habitat, which had been tampered with. Next, a 35-year-old vulture was found dead. Then, two emperor tamarin monkeys went missing, though they were later found in an abandoned home. Environmental writer Emma Marris, author of the book “Wild Souls: Freedom and Flourishing in the Non-Human World” joined “Something Offbeat” as the mystery unfolded to talk about zoos and if they are the right place for animals to live.

We take on some tricky ethical dilemmas in how we should treat animals in nature, especially “non-native” species (more respectfully called 'Introduced species'), and when and how we should interfere in the lives of animals in a 'post wild' world, based on her thoughtful and nuanced book “Wild Souls: Freedom & Flourishing in the Non-Human World, by environmental writer Emma Marris  https://www.emmamarris.com/.  Carrie Freeman, host of "In Tune to Nature," interviews Emma in this 26-minute podcast where we discuss: the idea of abandoning "species purity" and static or colonial notions of who should be in a given ecosystem; how to value sentient beings (animals) in relation to other (plant) living beings, systems, or whole species; and ethical, fair, and compassionate ways to resolve conflicts that arise between animal species (especially "non-native" vs "native" or "endangered/rare" species). While we don't have definitive answers to these ethical dilemmas, we take a perspective that includes the interests of all animal individuals in decision-making (not just what is presumed best for the ecosystem as a whole). This is part of the classic dilemma of how to fairly balance individual rights with societal/group rights. Other resources on this topic include: The nonprofit science group working on welfare called  Wild Animal Initiative.  Or The Centre for Compassionate Conservation at UT-Sydney. Additionally, Catia Faria has a new book “Animal Ethics in the Wild”; and Kyle Johannsen has the new book "Wild Animal Ethics."

Elke generatie mensen begint met een eigen natuurreferentie en bij elke generatie is die referentie kariger. Dat is heel in het kort het shifting baseline syndroom. Marc Argeloo noemt dit natuuramnesie en hierover schreef hij een indrukwekkend boek met dezelfde titel. Anthonie gaat met Marc in gesprek over de natuur van zijn jeugd, zijn internationale natuurbeschermerswerk en zijn zoektocht naar natuuramnesie. Er ontstaat een indringend beeld van de verloren én vergeten rijkdom van de natuur in het nog niet eens zo heel lange verleden. We spreken over grijze walvissen in de Waddenzee (ja echt), over de onmogelijkheid van referentiekaders in natuurbescherming en paden naar herstel van ons natuurbeeld én herstel van de rijkdom van natuur in onze Lage landen. De leestip van Marc is ‘Waarom wilde natuur niet meer bestaat' van Emma Marris. Wil je reageren op deze aflevering?

When Cody Sheehy was six years old, he disappeared into the wilderness of northeast Oregon. Now, more than three decades later, he insists that the harrowing experience gave him an invaluable life lesson. In this second episode of our Summer Read series, we recount how he wandered into the forest and made his way back to safety some 18 hour later, all on his own. The story, written for Outside by environmental journalist Emma Marris, investigates what it takes to get through such an ordeal at a young age, and how it can stick with us forever.

De manier waarop mensen naar natuur kijken is aan verandering onderhevig. Achter elk natuurbeeld gaat een ethiek schuil met verschillende uitgangspunten en verwachtingen van natuur. Anthonie spreekt hierover met Martin Drenthen, milieufilosoof en universitair hoofddocent aan de Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen. Wat betekent dit voor natuurbeheer en natuurbescherming? We bespreken verschillende ethische dilemma's, zoals het samenleven met de wolf in een gecultiveerde wereld. En is er na het inzaaien van planten nog sprake van wilde natuur? Martin heeft tenslotte een belangrijke oproep voor natuurorganisaties. We concluderen dat het drukbevolkte Nederland bij uitstek een plek is om onze samenleving natuurinclusief te maken en te ondervinden waar de grenzen daarvan liggen. De leestip van Martin is ‘Wild souls' van Emma Marris. Dit boek verschijnt eind juni 2022 in een Nederlandse vertaling: Waarom wilde natuur niet meer bestaat (Nieuw Amsterdam). Martin's bonustip is ‘Zoopolis – A Political Theory of Animal Rights' van Sue Donaldson Reacties op deze aflevering zijn welkom via Twitter @birdingstip en @ToekomstNatuur.

The latest report from the UN's climate scientists was both incredibly downbeat about climate change and almost entirely ignored by a media fixated on Ukraine. In this episode we consider the communication and changing narratives around climate change, why an unscientific hyper-fatalism has set in with many activists, and what impact this might be having on younger generations terrified humanity itself is going extinct.    'We're heading Straight for a Demi-Apocalypse' - Emma Marris in The Atlantic  Climate anxiety in children - study in The Lancet Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability - IPCC report If you want to go deeper into some of the topics we discuss, find more resources to read, listen to and watch at John's website: http://www.johnwyatt.com

Episode #65 of the Ground Shots Podcast is a conversation with Dave Meesters and Janet Kent of the Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine out of Madison County, North Carolina. https://www.ofsedgeandsalt.com/podcastblog/terrasylvaschool After trying to get together for a conversation all summer, we finally met up in the early fall at Dave and Janet's herbalism school classroom at the Marshall High Studios, in Marshall, North Carolina. It was a frigid fall day and when I arrived, they had tea going and snacks out on a table in their beautifully lit and decorated studio space. It was obviously curated and inhabited by herbalists. Dave and Janet run the Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine with Jen Stovall, and have a clinical herbalism practice in the rural area where they live and the nearby city of Asheville, NC. Dave Meesters grew up in Miami, Florida and attended college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He moved to Asheville, North Carolina in the winter of 1998. In 2003, his formal herbal training began with an apprenticeship with CoreyPine Shane at the Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine, and since then his experience has included organizing and staffing a free clinic in New Orleans in the months after hurricane Katrina, and starting and practicing at a free clinic in Asheville's homeless day shelter. Dave has plans to be involved with another herbal free or low-cost clinic in the future, but until then he sees clients privately and provides care to the mountain folks in his rural Appalachian neighborhood, most of whom would rather see an herbalist than a doctor. From 2013 to 2016, Dave was, with Janet, the director and primary instructor at the Terra Sylva School's summer apprenticeship program, which was held on the communal mountain land where he resides before the school moved to Marshall. He and Janet are the founders of Medicine County Herbs, an herb apothecary, medicinal plant nursery, and blog. Dave sees herbalism as a way to provide a more appropriate, accessible, pleasurable, and effective form of health care than the dominant model, and as a means to bond and integrate ourselves with plants, the garden, and the wilds. His herbalism is wedded to a life-long resistance to the forces of domination and alienation, especially domination of and alienation from Nature. His practice and his teaching reflect a deep evolving holism attained by listening to, honoring, embracing, and collaborating with the whole of Nature, and by his study of the threads connecting holistic physiology, energetics, ecology, gardening, systems theory, magic, alchemy and permaculture.   Janet Kent is a clinical and community herbalist, educator, gardener and writer. The child of two naturalists, Janet grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, learning the amazing diversity of regional wild flowers at an early age. She began studying the medicinal uses of plants when she moved to a rich Appalachian cove high in the mountains of Madison county, North Carolina fifteen years ago. She did not set out to become an herbalist, but as she learned over the years in her forest home, if we are open, we do not change the land we inhabit as much as it changes us. The transformative healing power of the plants around her turned an interest into a calling. The vast power to heal through reconnection is the medicine she most seeks to share. Whenever possible, she encourages her students and clients to grow their own herbs, to make their own medicine, and most of all, to experience the more-than-human world first hand. Here is where deep, foundational healing is most profound. Janet views herbal medicine as a means of reconnecting to the long tradition of plant medicine in rural Appalachia. This tradition has become more relevant with the ailing state of the dominant health care system and the rising cost of herbal medicine. Janet considers herbalism the best option for addressing injustice in health care. Herbalists, being outside the biomedical system, can avoid its inequalities. Affordable care, medicine and education are central to this paradigm. In addition to being co-founder and a core faculty member at the Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine, Janet also runs a medicinal and native plant nursery, apothecary and blog, Medicine County Herbs with Dave. Terra Sylva combines the experience of herbalists who've done their work in very different regions: rural Appalachia and the city of New Orleans. Dave Meesters and Janet Kent founded and run Medicine County Herbs in the mountains of North Carolina and publish the Radical Vitalism blog, while Jen Stovall is one of the herbalists behind the Crescent City's Maypop Community Herb Shop. Despite the geographical separation, this team have been partners in herbalism for over a decade, going back to the first herb classes Jen & Dave taught together in New Orleans in 2004. The Terra Sylva School fulfills a dream we've nurtured for a long time, to meld our diverse strengths and perspectives to create a comprehensive, dynamic program well-suited to equip and inspire the next generation of herbalists to practice in the 21st century. Our teaching reflects both Janet & Dave's land-based herbalism practiced in a rural setting and Jen's experience caring for folks in the big city.   In this conversation with Dave and Janet, we talk about:   some of the culture of the holler Dave and Janet live in deep in southern Appalachia pros and cons of living remotely in Appalachia how herbalism tied them to the land they live on and kept them there when other folks involved in the land project didn't stay teaching herbalism online vs. in person the magic of tuning into one small piece of land year after year Dave and Janet's wild-tending and land-tending work over 20 years in Madison county the problem with human misanthropy in punk culture or the ‘humans suck' mentality the importance of human tending on land and Appalachia specifically the effects of capitalism on wild harvest of medicinal plants and the complex nuances of this, and effects Michael Moore's books and teachings had on wild plant populations like Yerba Mansa we geek out on Pedicularis as an example of a plant that is tricky to wildcraft because of its inability to be cultivated some of Dave and Janet's views on ‘invasive plants' and land-tending and the responsibility of human engagement why it is important to ask where the garden begins and ends? how land-tending and restoration can't be about going back to a past that is impossible to recreate due to loss of topsoil and keystone species (think Chestnuts in the east) but about working with a compass of creating diversity and resilience in a rapidly changing world, tending to baselines of the past and ever-shifting baselines of present What can disempowering the engines of disruption with other disruption look like? some thoughts on changes in ‘western' herbalism from a focus on the individual to a focus on the collective and cultural mending using ‘biomedicine' vs. ‘allopathic' to describe mainstream western medicine and some history around the use of these words Dave and Janet's podcast ‘The Book on Fire,' what it focuses on and why they facilitate it we do a mini overview of the book ‘The Caliban and the Witch,' a book they review and deconstruct on their podcast (book linked in Link list below)   Links: Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine Radical Vitalism essay by Janet and Dave on their underlying philosophy To Fulfill the Promise of Herbalism Dave's piece on the power and potential for grassroots herbalism Uncontrollable Night: Herbs for Grief Janet's piece on working with herbs to ease the phases of grief The Book on Fire podcast “The Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation” book by Silvia Federici mentioned on the podcast, reviewed in detail by Dave and Janet on their podcast ‘The Book on Fire' “Rambunctious Garden: Saving Nature in a Post-Wild World” by Emma Marris, briefly mentioned in the podcast, also mentioned in GSP Episode #53 :  Wild Tending Series / Gabe and Kelly on ecological history, anthropogenic landscapes and the negative side of conservation Mountain Gardens, a regional Appalachian botanical sanctuary run by Joe Hollis mentioned on the podcast Mountain Gardens Youtube Channel, mentioned on the podcast Donna Haraway “Staying with the Trouble”, mentioned in the podcast, a book Dave and Janet review on their podcast ‘The Book on Fire'       Support the podcast on Patreon to contribute monthly to our grassroots self-funding of this project  For one time donations to support this podcast: Paypal : paypal.me/petitfawn VENMO: @kelly-moody-6 Cashapp: cash.app/$groundshotsproject   Our website with an archive of podcast episodes, educational resources, past travelogues and more: http://www.ofsedgeandsalt.com  Our Instagram pages: @goldenberries / @groundshotspodcast Join the Ground Shots Podcast Facebook Group to discuss the episodes Subscribe to our newsletter for updates on the Ground Shots Project Theme music: 'Sweat and Splinters' by Mother Marrow Guest music: Little Wind and Sea by Village of Spaces This episode hosted by: Kelly Moody Produced by: Kelly Moody

Fish have a sacred role for the Klamath Tribes in the Klamath Basin, which spans part of Southern Oregon and Northern California. An 1864 treaty gives tribes the "exclusive right of taking fish in the streams and lakes,” but drought and poor water quality are killing the fish and causing a fight over resources between indigenous tribes and white farmers who were promised certain water allocations of their own. A new Fault Lines documentary by Al Jazeera called "When the Water Stopped," delves into the different sides of the conflict that is fueled by climate change, decades of federal land mismanagement and racism. According to activist and Klamath tribal member Joey Gentry, “our water crisis still exists today because of racism against the tribe, and racism against the tribe exists, in part, today because of our water crisis." We'll talk with Gentry and environmental reporter Emma Marris about the ongoing conflict and what it will take to resolve it.

Conserving wild species doesn't seem like it would be that controversial. No one wants to see an extinction. But at the same time, don't we believe that every animal matters? If every animal matters, how can we justify killing some to save others? And how do we determine what deserves saving in the first place? We sit down with Emma Marris to talk about her new book, "Wild Souls: Freedom and Flourishing in the Non-Human World".

In Wild Souls: Freedom and Flourishing in the Non-Human World (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2021), Emma Marris wrestles with big ethical questions facing the conservation field. Emma takes us through several experiences that informed the book, exposing us to relevant on-the-ground decisions impacting the life or death of animals. When the interests of individual animals conflict with the goals of biodiversity preservation, is it okay to kill? Are any animals truly wild now that humans have directly altered so much of their habitat? How do we balance the rights of introduced species with those already established within an ecosystem? To start engaging these, and other questions, Emma takes us through a needed crash course in ethics, specifically environmental ethics. Much like her previous work, we are exposed to new ways of thinking about old problems. Listening in will not disappoint. Learn more about your ad choices.

Protecting wild animals and preserving the environment are two ideals so seemingly compatible as to be almost inseparable. But in reality, between animal welfare and conservation science there exists a space of underexamined and unresolved tension: wildness itself. When is it right to capture or feed wild animals for the good of their species? How do we balance the rights of introduced species with those already established within an ecosystem? Can hunting be ecological? Are any animals truly wild on a planet that humans have so thoroughly changed? Acclaimed environmental writer Emma Marris explained that there's no clear guidelines to help us resolve such questions yet, but joined us endeavoring to start the conversation. With stories contained in her book Wild Souls: Freedom and Flourishing in the Non-Human World, she transported us into the field with scientists tackling these profound challenges. Marris told us about animals around the globe—from Peruvian monkeys to Australian bilbie, rare Hawai'ian birds to majestic Oregon wolves. In conversation with local journalist Jane C. Hu, she revealed just how intertwined animal life and human life really are, and provided a framework that may change the way we think about nature—and our place in it. Emma Marris is an award-winning journalist whose writing on science and the environment has appeared in The New York Times, the Atlantic, National Geographic, Wired, and many other publications, including Best American Science and Nature Writing. Her previous book Rambunctious Garden was the subject of her TED Talk. She was also featured on the TED Radio Hour and the series Adam Ruins Everything. Jane C. Hu is an independent journalist living in Seattle. Her work focuses on the intersection of science, culture, and technology, and has appeared in publications like Slate, High Country News, Undark, Outside, WIRED, Smithsonian, National Geographic, the Atlantic, Science, and others.

The fossil fuel economy and other factors driving climate change created dramatic impacts on the natural environment and the wildlife that call those places home. Countless species have disappeared and others are threatened or endangered. In her latest book, “Wild Souls: Freedom and Flourishing in the Non-Human World,” Emma Marris says human activity has touched so much of the planet that it raises the question of whether any part of the Earth can truly be considered “wild.” The efforts to save ecosystems and species and preserve biodiversity may seem to be harmonious endeavors. But, Marris says the decisions to save one species may well damage another, and she wonders if striving for “pure” or “natural” states is actually the most effective strategy for the well-being of non-human animals. Research suggests many animals possess what has long been thought of as a primarily human domain: self-awareness and sentience. We talk with Marris about the effect of human activity on non-human life and how she's thinking about the underlying values and assumptions that often shape conservation and preservation strategies.

What are our moral obligations to nature, and the wild animals that live in it? Should we vaccinate them? Should we feed them when they're starving? Should we kill so called "invasive" species? Emma Marris is back this week to discuss her new book Wild Souls and the complex ethical dilemmas surrounding our relationship with wild animals.

Timathy Taylor shot and killed his neighbor in an isolated, rural Klamath County community in 2016. Taylor claimed the murder was out of self-defense, and his 2018 murder trial ended in a split-jury mistrial. Tuesday afternoon, Taylor pleaded no contest to one count of criminally negligent homicide. We hear from Emma Marris, a Klamath Falls-based freelance journalist who looked into the case for her Atavist Magazine article, “Outlaw Country.”

When Cody Sheehy was six years old, he got lost in the woods. Sheehy grew up in the Wallowa Valley of eastern Oregon, so the woods he got lost in were vast.

Some scientists say we're in a new geological age where humans are having an unprecedented impact on Earth. This hour, TED speakers ask what this means for the future of our planet, and our species. Guests include paleontologists Kenneth Lacovara and Peter Ward, environmental writer Emma Marris, and biodiversity archivist Cary Fowler. (Original broadcast date: September 30, 2016.)

The publishers of Emma Marris' book “Rambunctious Garden” say that “a paradigm shift is roiling the environmental world. For decades people have unquestioningly accepted the idea that our goal is to preserve nature in its pristine, pre-human state. But many scientists have come to see this as an outdated dream that thwarts bold new plans to save the environment and prevents us from having a fuller relationship with nature. Humans have changed the landscapes they inhabit since prehistory, and climate change means even the remotest places now bear the fingerprints of humanity. Emma Marris argues...that it is time to look forward and create the ‘rambunctious garden,' a hybrid of wild nature and human management.”

Comment définir « la nature » ? Si on la définit comme une chose indépendante de l'homme, alors elle n'existe plus. Voici ce que nous explique l'écrivaine écologiste Emma Marris. Elle nous demande de redéfinir la nature, laquelle n'inclurait pas seulement la nature pure et sauvage, mais aussi les carrés négligés dans la ville où les plantes poussent, et elle nous encourage à y emmener nos enfants pour qu'ils puissent l'approcher et y jouer, pour qu'un jour, ils puissent l'aimer et la protéger.

¿Cómo defines "naturaleza?" Si la definimos como aquello que no ha sido tocado por los humanos, entonces no nos vamos a quedar con nada, dice la escritora medioambiental Emma Marris. Ella nos apremia a considerar una nueva definición de la naturaleza, una en la que se incluya no solo la naturaleza virgen, sino también los parches no cultivados de plantas que crecen en los espacios urbanos. Ella nos anima a llevar a nuestros hijos a descubrir la naturaleza, a tocarla y jugar con ella, para que uno día puedan amarla y protegerla.

Wie definiert man "Natur"? Wenn man sie als etwas definiert, das vom Menschen unberührt ist, dann haben wir keine mehr, sagt Umweltautorin Emma Marris. Sie ermahnt uns, neue Naturbegriffe in Erwägung zu ziehen – welche, die nicht nur unberührte Wildnis einschließen, sondern auch die vernachlässigten grünen Flecken, die sich in der Stadt ausbreiten – und sie ermutigt uns, unsere Kinder ins Freie mit zu nehmen, um die Natur zu berühren und mit ihr zu spielen, sodass sie sie eines Tages lieben und schützen können.

Como você define "natureza"? Se a definirmos como sendo algo intocado pelo homem, não nos restará nada, diz a escritora ambientalista Emma Marris. Ela nos convoca a considerar uma nova definição de natureza, que inclui não apenas regiões puras e intocadas, mas também áreas com plantas não cuidadas, nos espaços urbanos, e nos encoraja a levarmos nossas crianças para fora, para tocarem e brincarem com essa natureza, para que um dia elas possam amá-la e protegê-la.

How do you define "nature?" If we define it as that which is untouched by humans, then we won't have any left, says environmental writer Emma Marris. She urges us to consider a new definition of nature -- one that includes not only pristine wilderness but also the untended patches of plants growing in urban spaces -- and encourages us to bring our children out to touch and tinker with it, so that one day they might love and protect it.

여러분은 '자연'을 어떻게 정의하나요? 만약 자연을 인간의 손이 닿지 않은 것으로 정의한다면, 우리에겐 아무 자연도 남아있지 않을 것이라고, 환경 저술가인 엠마 마리스가 말합니다. 엠마는 자연에 대한 새로운 정의를 고려해 봐야 한다고 주장합니다. 아주 깨끗한 야생 뿐만 아니라 식물들이 자라고 있는 아무도 거들떠보지 않는 도심의 작은 땅도 자연이라고 말합니다. 또한 우리 아이들을 밖으로 데리고 나가 자연을 만지고 갖고 놀게 하라고 권합니다. 그렇게 하면 언젠가 우리 아이들이 자연을 사랑하고 보호할 수 있습니다.

It is Natural Resources Week at Utah State University and the theme is "Go Wild, It's All Around you." Nature writer Emma Marris was a featured speaker during this week's celebration and she joins us today on the program to talk about the latest wave in conservation and her new book, The Rambunctious Garden, that is changing and challenging our traditional views of conservation.

During the roundtable discussion, Alan McPherson speaks about the new dynamics of Mexico, and Emma Marris writes about "assisted migration".

In this week's programme we have a field report from South Georgia where Tony Martin, Professor in Zoology at Dundee University and working with the South Georgia Heritage Trust, has embarked on a programme to remove 100% of rats on South Georgia. Human activity over the decades and centuries have inadvertently introduced Brown Rats to islands and mainlands and the rats have driven local extinctions of birds and caused havoc on many seabird populations, eating the chicks in the nest. Is the wildlife benefit worth the effort it takes to return such areas to a situation before Brown Rats were introduced? Monty Don also speaks with environmental author Emma Marris.

Emma Marris, author of Rambunctious Garden, believes that in the Anthropocene we should widen our repertoire of conservation strategies, rather than relying on traditional conservation methods that “look backwards.” She also and suggests that we can learn to appreciate all forms of nature, big and small.

Guest Emma Marris speaks with Diane Horn about her book "Rambunctious Garden: Saving Nature in a Post-Wild World".

Emma Marris is a freelance science writer and author of Rambunctious Garden: Saving Nature in a Post-Wild World.  In this episode, Emma talks about her book, describing how the perspective in which humans have had about the importance of wilderness to be pure and pristine is an outdated notion.  It disregards the impact in which […]

Nature means something different to everyone. It’s a towering old-growth redwood forest to some.  Deep silent canyons to others. And urban community gardens to others. Defining what is “pristine nature” is even more dicey. Just ask conservation biologists trying to figure out the best ways to preserve ecosystems and their flora and fauna. Co-host Susan Moran interviews Emma Marris, whose new book called “Rambunctious Garden: Saving Nature in a Post-wild World” sheds light on how notions of wilderness preservation are evolving to accommodate the ever-changing natural world, and our own role in it. Tom McKinnon interviews Jeff Bisberg of Albeo Technologies about the new lighting revolution in solid-state LEDs.
