We hear an interview aired by our sister community radio station's, Science MOAB. Ecologist Brooke Osborne talks about how dryland ecosystems – such as the grasslands east of Boulder – influence the whole planet. Dryands cover 40% of the earth; they support a third of the planet's humans, and while their roots store lots of … Continue reading "What do Grasslands Have to do with Climate Change?"

Thomas Halliday describes the Pleistocene Mammoth Steppe, a vast grassland ecosystem stretching from Europe to Alaska inhabited by megafauna like Arctodus, then explores the Pliocene in East Africa where mosaic environments supported early human ancestors like Australopithecus.

While there is a growing recognition of the importance of indigenous knowledge in agriculture, all too-often, First Nations people are being asked to fit in with an established model. What if we flipped the script to create food systems that are led by indigenous principles?That's what Jacob Birch is aiming to do in reawakening a native grains industry in Australia. He's a proud Gamilaraay man, scholar, Churchill Fellow, and entrepreneur who founded Yaamarra & Yarral, a wholesaler of ancient grains and retailer of stone milled flour.In this episode, Jacob shares his journey into native grains, beginning with biodiversity and landscape restoration, and expanding into food, culture, and economic sovereignty. He explains why native grasses are keystone species for Australia's ecosystems, how Indigenous Australians managed grain systems for tens of thousands of years, and why these histories, including bread-making, are still largely absent from mainstream narratives.In his Churchill Fellowship, Jacob draws on lessons from First Nations communities in North America, exploring what Indigenous-led food systems can look like when the goal is not export-driven scale, but healthy communities, country, and self-determined economic development.Sarah and Jacob discuss:The nutritional value of native grains and their role in climate resilience and food sovereignty.Why post–farm gate ownership is crucial for First Nations people.How subsidies could potentially support indigenous-led enterprises in food and agriculture.The realities of building a native grains industry; from land access to challenges in processing.Useful Links:Jacob Birch, Churchill Fellowship reportGrasslands Documentary Jacob Birch researcher profileModernising Indigenous Native Grains Processing | AgriFutures AustraliaWhite Earth NationFond du Lac Band of Lake Superior ChippewaNative Farm Bill CoalitionTribal Elder Food Box - Feeding America Eastern WisconsinFirst Nations Australians in Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - DAFF2030 Roadmap - National Farmers' FederationFor more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

As the agricultural landscape faces shifting federal priorities, the Grassland 2.0 project is pivoting toward private partnerships and innovative tools to demonstrate that grazing is a profitable practice. Central to this effort is the Heifer Grazing Compass, a digital tool designed to help dairy producers calculate the benefits of transition. By keeping heifers on pasture rather than shipping them out of state to feedlots, farmers can significantly reduce overhead, explains Sarah Lloyd, value chain coordinator for the Grassland 2.0 project at UW-Madison. She sat down with Stephanie Hoff at Dairy Strong. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this compelling episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, host Anish Banerjee speaks with Indrajit Ghorpade, founder of the Deccan Conservation Foundation, about wolf conservation in the Koppal District of Karnataka and the overlooked biodiversity of the Deccan Plateau. The conversation offers a rare, ground-level perspective on the Indian wolf and the urgent need to rethink how India approaches grassland conservation and biodiversity management outside forested landscapes.Koppal District, located in the Deccan Plateau, represents one of the last strongholds of the Indian wolf, a subspecies of the gray wolf uniquely adapted to India's arid and semi-arid grasslands. Often misunderstood and neglected, the Indian wolf has survived for centuries in human-dominated landscapes shaped by pastoralism and dryland agriculture. Indrajit explains how wolf conservation in this region is inseparable from protecting grassland ecosystems that are routinely misclassified as wastelands, despite supporting exceptional grassland biodiversity.The episode explores the ecological importance of open grasslands for species such as wolves, blackbucks, foxes, hyenas, and ground-nesting birds, and why the loss of these habitats has driven widespread declines across Indian biodiversity. Indrajit reflects on how tiger-centric conservation narratives have overshadowed species like the Indian wolf, leading to gaps in policy, funding, and public awareness. Through years of fieldwork, research, and advocacy, his work has helped establish India's second wolf sanctuary at Bankapur, demonstrating that targeted protection can make a measurable difference even in fragmented landscapes.A key theme of the discussion is coexistence. Wolves in Koppal largely survive outside protected areas, navigating livestock grazing, agriculture, roads, and renewable energy infrastructure. Indrajit unpacks the realities of human–wolf interactions, the role of free-ranging dogs, hybridization concerns, and the importance of education in reducing conflict. Rather than portraying wolves as threats, the episode reframes them as keystone predators essential for regulating ecosystems and sustaining long-term biodiversity conservation.Listeners will gain insight into why grassland conservation is central to the future of Karnataka biodiversity and the biodiversity of India more broadly. From blackbucks roaming open plains to wolves using rocky outcrops as breeding refuges, the episode highlights how wild Karnataka extends far beyond forests and protected reserves. This conversation is essential listening for anyone interested in wolf conservation, Indian wolf conservation, gray wolf conservation, grassland biodiversity, and the future of biodiversity management in India's most neglected ecosystems.#wolf #wolfconservation #IndianWolf #Indianwolfconservation #graywolf #graywolfconservation #grassland #grasslandconservation #biodiversityconservation #biodiversitymanagement #Indianbiodiversity #grasslandbiodiversity #blackbucks #wildKarnataka #Karnatakabiodiversity #biodiversityofKarnataka #biodiversityofIndia Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

"I don't want to make a zoo. I don't to take care of those animals for eternity, I want them to live on their own and in order to have a sustainable ecosystem it's extremely important to have all niches filled in this ecosystem." In the place of the vast Siberian tundras were once great grasslands teeming with wildlife, until early humans hunted them out. In the latest episode of Rewilding the World Nikita Zimov explains how his Pleistocene rewilding project in remotest Siberia is using wild horses, muskox, yaks and even camels to restore these grasslands, which - he suggests - can go a long way towards solving the climate crisis.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast.

Carson Odegard sits down with Jeff Smith to break down December's numbers across California Waterfowl properties—what got better, what got buried under water, and how long tule fog and rolling storms shifted bird behavior. From Staten Island's goose grind to surprise surges at Potrero Hills and Goose Lake, this is your clear, no-spin field report.By the numbers (December):Staten Island — 3.44 birds/hunter in Dec; season avg 4.3 (leaders: Aleutians, specks)Potrero Hills (Suisun) — 3.4 (up from 1.3 in Nov); spoons, GWT, with wigeon coming onGoose Lake (Tulare Basin) — 3.35; road-closure cancellations, but big success when open (spoons, ring-necks)Grizzly Ranch (Suisun) — 2.24; steady two-bird days (GWT, spoonies)Quimby Island (Delta) — 2.16; mallards + wigeon; slight dip from NovButte Creek Island Ranch (Butte Sink) — 1.83; GWT + ring-necksDenverton (Suisun) — 1.8; spoonies + GWTSanborn Slough (Butte Sink) — 1.74; wigeon + ring-necks; flood closures and deep waterPope Ranch (Dixon) — 0.71 for ducks (mallards); still a strong wild pheasant optionWhat shaped the hunt:Flooding & safety — county road closures and moving water shut some days down; expect a lag before birds re-concentrate after high water.Prolonged tule fog — helped rice country, hurt island visibility/pull at times.Migration pops — late-month pushes showed up in the Grasslands and south valley units.January outlook: Watch for wigeon and pintail to build in Suisun, mallard trickles where floodwaters recede, and more mixed bags at Staten as weather swings churn the Delta.

Half your milk comes from animals grazing on land the government calls wasteland. The mutton in your biryani? Same story. We're talking ₹1.3 lakh crore annually 5% of India's GDP built on ecosystems we've systematically mislabeled as worthless since the British needed a tax category for "land we can't monetize. Now we're converting these "wastelands" into solar farms at scale without asking the millions of pastoralists who depend on them, or calculating the carbon stored beneath them, or wondering what happens when milk and meat prices spike because we've paved over the free grazing grounds that keep them affordable. The twist? These aren't degraded lands waiting for rehabilitation. They're ancient grasslands and savannas that have existed for millennia, doing exactly what they're supposed to do. We just never bothered to look closely enough to notice. Until now, when it might be too late.

Edmund Motherway, from Ladysbridge, near Midleton, was the Overall Winner of the Student Section of the Sustainable Grassland Farmer of the Year Awards and he joins Stuart Childs on this week's Dairy Edge. Edmund was always interested in farming as a child, however, due to the scale of the home farm, he didn't think he had a future in farming. A transition year placement at a nearby father and son partnership opened his eyes to ways to potentially making farming a viable career option. Edmund is now farming in partnership with his father and they have expanded their land base in the last 12-18 months through leasing and as a result have pushed up their cow numbers.  Edmund also acknowledges the significant influence that the two farmers that he did his placements with have had on him and how he got such benefit from his time with them. Finally, he outlines what he would like to see to encourage generational renewal including a potential incentive to lease to a young farmer or revision of TAMS costings to more accurately reflect the true cost of machinery and building works so that a 40% grant would be just that.  He is hopeful that other opportunities to expand will present themselves and that they will be in a position to act on them if they come. Don't forget, this week the National Dairy Conferences are being held in Clonmel and Cavan on November 26th and 27th and for more info, go to: https://teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/events/  For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

From the mist of Lake Titicaca, eight children of Inti and Mama Quilla stepped onto the high plains, their feet brushing the grass and waking the land itself. As their journey continued, the mountains claimed some of them, caves swallowed others, until only one final pair held the golden rods. By then, they had taught the first clans who had accompanied them to weave, shape clay, carve terraces into the mountainside and coax life from reed and soil. These clans were the Ayar: Children of the Sun by Fabio Lopiano and Mandela Fernandez-Grandon from Osprey Games with art by Ian O'Toole.Read the full review here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/11/22/ayar-children-of-the-sun-saturday-review/Useful LinksAyar: Children of the Sun: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/ayar-children-of-the-sun-9781472860071/Rulebook: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/media/fcyh2h5j/ayar-rulebook.pdfOsprey Games: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/BGG listing: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/429438/ayar-children-of-the-sunUK Games Expo 2025 review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/06/07/uk-games-expo-2025-saturday-review/The Druids of Edora review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/11/15/the-druids-of-edora-saturday-review/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Music: Beauty Of The Earth 3 - Grasslands, produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/12842-beauty-of-the-earth-3-grasslandsMusic: Binaural Sleep Vol. 5, produced by Sascha EndeLink: https://ende.app/en/song/13200-binaural-sleep-vol-5SupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

The next installment of Grow the Future will feature Sourcing Manager Helen Manship, who will provide insight into the logistics of fertiliser distribution. The discussion will begin by outlining Helen's core responsibilities at Yara, which encompass the transport management of solid and liquid fertilisers alongside environmental and animal nutrition offerings. Key areas of focus will include the significance of sustainability in light of new government regulations, contemporary operational hurdles like the deficit of HGV drivers, seasonal preparation strategies, and the benefits of early ordering for farmers to support next year's initial application. The conversation will also highlight the importance of intra-company collaboration at Yara. 

When you think of wildlife and biodiversity conservation in this world, the most fundamental element of wildlife conservation is habitat. In North America, the most imperiled habitat ecosystem we have is grasslands. Ted Koch, the Executive Director of the North American Grouse Partnership, joins Robbie to discuss grouse, grasslands, the Great Prairie Chicken, and how we can protect this critical type of habitat that is dwindling away here in America. It's an insightful look into something you may not know much about, and as such, you can arm yourself with information.

Nature is not fixed, but ever changing. Some of the world's best known deserts were once fertile grasslands and forests, including the Sahara, the Mojave, the Kalahari, and Gobi deserts. Is it accurate to think of deserts as permanent? Ecosystem succession shows us that Nature can evolve from rock to forest as well as reverse itself back to dust or a barren state. According to National Geographic, drylands account for more than 40 percent of the world's terrestrial surface area. Human-caused desertification and soil erosion is changing the landscape of Earth, with Africa and Asia being particularly vulnerable; many in these regions rely on subsistence farming. Humans are accelerating the degradation of land through deforestation, urbanization, mining, monocrop industrial farming, and conventional ranching, however, turning land into desert is not a fixed or foregone conclusion. Our guest in this show recorded in 2023, Alejandro Carrillo, Managing Partner, Grasslands Regeneration Project for Las Damas Ranch, has been working to green the Chihuahuan desert in northern Mexico. Droughts, floods and erosion need not be permanent realities if we change the behaviors that are causing them. We have the power to align with and assist Nature in a process of evolution that benefits and sustains life. Las Damas, Alejandro Carrillo's 30,000-acre ranch, is one of the world's best known examples of what is possible on dry land, these arid and brittle environments that receive low rainfall. Due to rotational grazing and other strategies, like supporting the work of dung beetles and termites, native grasslands have proliferated. Thus, water infiltrates into more productive soil, wildlife and plant diversity thrive, encouraging a microclimate where rainfall increases. Resiliency is possible and Alejandro is here to share his remarkable, regenerative journey.

In the last ten years, he has been able to grow tremendous amounts of grasses, forbes, and legumes in a climate zone that receives only eight inches of rainfall, thanks to holistic, rational grazing management. This has benefited both his ranching endeavor and the life in general of all organisms below and above ground. He has also made rainfall more abundant by creating a microclimate for his ranch. Before joining his father's cattle ranch called Las Damas in 2004, Alejandro worked for several years in the software industry in the financial sector in various countries in the Americas and Europe.

Land headlines may say “wild,” but the on-the-ground story is sharper: focused buyers, resilient prices on the right tracts, and real opportunity in mixed-use and grassland parcels. We unpack the three pillars driving value—farm profitability, interest rates, and safety nets—then dig into why “land is local” still explains so much of what clears at auction. Attendance may be thinner than last year, yet prime quarters near existing operations continue to command strength, especially where soils, access, and water line up.We also trace the season's format shift. Lakota's live room popped, Devils Lake went heavy online, and harvest convenience kept producers bidding from the cab. You'll hear when we choose live high-bidder's choice versus timed online, how buyer profiles influence results, and why clear parceling, fencing status, water sources, and drone footage help sellers earn trust and bidders move fast. On the ground, grassland remains a bright spot as livestock values hold firm across western North Dakota and eastern Montana—where contiguous pasture, reliable water, strong fences, and maintained roads are the real currency.Then we map the fall slate: Jamestown's multi-parcel cropland, Emmons County's contiguous grass, western ND pheasant-country tracts, and a standout 1,763-acre Cass County offering stretching Castleton to Wheatland. High PI soils and development shadow along Highways 10 and 18 create long-hold optionality, while additional parcels sit near the ethanol plant and along the interstate for future flexibility. Add a 2,500-acre Slope–Bowman package with river-bottom trees on Little Beaver Creek, and recreational and grazing value intersect in rare ways.Looking to engage, learn, or bid?

Welcome to Christy Morrissey's acreage.We're about 15 minutes west of Saskatoon on a gorgeous Friday fall morning. The sun is rising and the grass is wet as Christy points a Hairy Woodpecker on an Aspen Tree.Christy Morrissey is an ecotoxicologist and professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Saskatchewan who loves prairie grasslands and wetlands. She is doing important research to protect and preserve these beautiful but fragile ecosystems in Western Canada, which she talks about in this episode.Christy also discusses why is hopeful to see more women in scientific and research roles.I love prairie grasslands, which is kind of ironic because I'm allergic to grass, but I love their subtle beauty, and I think we are so fortunate to have access to beautiful grasslands in and around Saskatoon. I hope that sense of gratitude comes through in this conversation.   You can listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or on the website: yxeunderground.comPlease feel free to leave a 5-star review if you like what you hear.You can follow YXE Underground on social media.

Grassy biomes, including grasslands, savannahs and crops, cover over 40% of all land on Earth. They play a significant role in carbon and silica cycles and have a large impact upon the climate. Grasslands (grass-dominated ecosystems) have shaped the evolution of numerous groups of organisms, most obviously grazing mammals, and can support a huge amount of biodiversity. Humans evolved in the savannas and through domestication of grasses formed agriculture, leading to a modern diet dominated by grasses such as oats, rice, wheat and corn. As anthropogenic climate change threatens large scale uncertainty, it's vital that we understand the controls that govern the success of this fundamentally important group. It is only by studying the evolutionary history of grasses that we might be able to predict how they will fare in future. Joining us in this episode to speak about the challenges of piecing together the evolutionary history of grasses from a relatively poor fossil record is Prof. Caroline Strömberg of the University of Washington.

Some conversations touch something so deep within us, we know we'll never quite be the same again. This was one of those conversations.In this powerful and poetic episode, host Elizabeth Mintun sits down with Mary Reynolds Thompson, an award-winning author, spiritual ecology pioneer, poetry therapy facilitator, and wild soul guide. Mary's life and work invite us into a space of reconnection: to the Earth, to story, and to the sacred wildness within. From her enchanted childhood memories in a remote Italian fishing village to a life-changing encounter with the ocean while newly sober, Mary shares the deeply personal stepping stones that led her to her life's work: helping others live their wild soul stories. This is not just a conversation - it's an initiation. An invitation to return home to your wild self.Key TakeawaysYou are earth in human form. Mary reminds us that we didn't arrive on Earth - we emerged from it. Recognizing ourselves as part of nature, not separate from it, is essential to healing both ourselves and the planet. This perspective reconnects us to a sense of belonging, purpose, and deep interconnection with all life.The wild soul speaks through archetypes. Through five powerful Earth archetypes - Desert, Forest, Ocean & River, Mountain, and Grassland - we can better understand our emotional and spiritual landscapes. Each archetype reflects a state of being and offers guidance for healing, creativity, and transformation.Enchantment is a choice and a practice. We can reclaim wonder and meaning in a disenchanted world by turning toward the living Earth, story, and ritual. Whether watching a sunset or journaling with intention, small moments of presence can reawaken the wild, creative, soulful parts of us that modern life often suppresses.Resources Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Elizabeth Mintun here.

In this episode, Joe Dickie and Buz Kloot sit down with Karlie Kammerer, a rising senior from western South Dakota whose wisdom and clarity around regenerative ranching belies her age. Karlie grew up on a cow-calf operation near Rapid City where her family, including parents Riley and Jimmie and sisters Katelyn and Kimball, is embracing holistic management and regenerative agriculture with open arms—and open minds.Though still in high school, Karlie has already presented at national rangeland competitions, been a featured voice in Amazing Grasslands, and dreams of running a consulting business with her dad (where he'll work for her, of course). In this episode, Karlie shares what she's learning on the land and in the classroom—lessons about livestock, soil health, and the importance of context, context, context.But she doesn't stop there.We talk about how her dad's paradigm shift reshaped their entire operation—allowing both her parents to come home full-time to the ranch—and how the mental and spiritual health of the family improved alongside the land. Karlie reflects on the influence of mentors like Mitch Faulkner and the power of intergenerational learning. She shares her thoughts on what the ag industry needs to do to keep young people not just interested—but inspired.You'll hear Karlie speak with grace, humor, and a refreshing blend of scientific precision and deep, soulful connection to land. As she says: “We look at things on a microscopic level and at a huge level—and I think with all of us, it's like, how could there not be a Creator?”Whether you're a seasoned rancher, new to regenerative ag, or simply curious what the future looks like, this conversation will leave you hopeful—and maybe even a little humbled.Highlights:Karlie's family's transition from conventional to regenerative ranchingThe spiritual and emotional transformation of the land and peopleWhy livestock integration and context are critical for soil healthHow Karlie overcame public speaking fears to win a national rangeland competitionThe enduring influence of mentors like Mitch FaulknerA vision for the future of agriculture—and the role of young people in shaping itQuote of the Episode:“We all kind of have that further appreciation and understanding for something that isn't quite of this world... You feel something different when you're around animals and surrounded by pasture. I couldn't explain it—but you feel at peace.” — Karlie Kammerer

National Battlefield Parks are grassland habitats worth writing home about. Tall grassy fields aren't typically considered beautiful, much less valuable to conserve. But battlefield monuments and military parks are maintained as historic sites, with the side-effect of preserving excellent habitat. Today, rather than the roar of cannons, battlefields like Gettysburg, Antietam, and Monocacy are filled with the sounds of grassland songbirds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Guanacos—fleet-footed cousins of the llama—roam the windswept grasslands of South America in one of the world's longest overland migrations. But fences, hunting, and competition with livestock are putting their survival at risk. Ahead of the 2nd International Guanaco Day, WCS Argentina is joining forces with local communities and the government to secure vast migration corridors, promote sustainable livelihoods, and bring guanaco populations back from the brink. From live—shearing innovations to landmark land protection, this story reveals how conservation is turning the tide for these resilient creatures—and why their future matters for ecosystems and people alike.  Reporting: Hannah Kaplan Guests: Dr Andrés Novaro, Dr. Susan Lieberman podscan_rcT6e9vDnq3qUbRrbveGfl9YEZ4Xo8dG

Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by The Nature Conservancy's Kelsey Molloy, Wyoming Migration Initiative's Andrew Jakes, Pheasants Forever's Casey Sill and PF's Montana State Coordinator Hunter VanDonsel for a discussion regarding the Montana Grassland Initiative. The dialogue spans the objectives for the initiative, emphasizing its advantages for Montana's diverse wildlife species as well as the farming and ranching community. Episode Highlights: • VanDonsel kicks off the conversation with a poignant narrative about walking across a Montana grassland while carrying his newborn daughter against his chest. This experience inspired VanDonsel to conceive the Montana Grassland Initiative and solidify his career aspirations. • Molloy and Jakes explain the significance of Montana's sagebrush habitat for sage grouse and pronghorn, particularly during their migration periods. • Jakes further discusses the distinct nature of pronghorns in North America, noting that their closest relative is Africa's giraffe. “On the Wing Podcast” is proudly fueled by Purina Pro Plan.
