Podcasts about habitats

Habitats face pressures from all sorts of threats. Illegal logging, mining, and poaching are driving extinctions, excellerating climate change, and hurting communities everywhere. How can we use laws to change this? That is what Senior Lecturer at Lancaster University and Executive Director of Conservation Litigation Dr. Jason Phelps is here to talk about. Conservation Litigation is a wonderful organization that exists to "to hold those who harm nature meaningfully responsible for remedying the harm they cause – whether to biodiversity, habitats, climate, animal welfare or human wellbeing." Join me and Dr. Phelps as we discuss this mission in detail and learn how you might be able to help.

What does it take to turn your ground into a productive whitetail habitat? In this episode we are joined by Brett Smith from Whitetail Land Management Services. Brett breaks down the fundamentals of whitetail habitat, from bedding and food sources to access, hunting pressure, timber management, and everything in between. We talk about the biggest mistakes landowners and hunters make, tactics and strategies for hunting mature bucks, and what it actually takes to create habitat that keeps those mature bucks on your ground. Whether you're managing hundreds of acres, hunting a small parcel, or simply trying to make the ground you have better, this conversation is packed with practical information you can put to work. Great deer don't happen by accident—and better hunting starts with a better understanding of habitat.Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/) - use code "fallobsession15" to save with HootBear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/) - use code "fallobsession" when shopping online with Bear RiverTactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

The company DEEP recently launched an underwater habitat called Vanguard off the coast of Florida to facilitate long-term marine research and environmental monitoring. This innovative structure allows a four-person crew to live and work at depths of 56 feet, utilizing a process called saturation to extend dive times significantly. The facility features a living chamber, a dive center with a moon pool, and a dedicated support system to manage waste and safety. Beyond scientific discovery, the habitat serves as a vital training ground for astronauts due to the similarities between isolated aquatic environments and spaceflight. Vanguard represents a primary step toward creating a modular underwater station similar to the International Space Station, aiming for a permanent human presence beneath the sea. This technology minimizes sample degradation and removes the time constraints typically imposed by standard decompression requirements.https://atlantisseacolony.com/#DEEP #Vanguard #UnderwaterHabitat #MarineResearch #EnvironmentalMonitoring #SaturationDiving #MoonPool #AstronautTraining #UnderwaterStation #OceanExploration #Florida #DeepSeaResearch #Aquanauts #ModularHabitat #SeaToSpace

In this uplifting episode, Jed welcomes back Kathy McMillan, ASL interpreter, children's librarian, and creator of the new picture book series "Sign the Seasons." Kathy shares how the four-book series—starting with Sign the Seasons: Fall—invites kids and families to learn American Sign Language through everyday seasonal concepts like trees, squirrels, and weather. She explains how Familius Publishing partnered with her in a uniquely thoughtful way, involving her in every stage of illustration and bringing in both an ASL/Deaf culture advisor and an early childhood education advisor (a Coda) to ensure the books are accurate, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate. Kathy talks about her journey from children's librarian to nationally certified interpreter, and how signing with her own hearing son from birth transformed their communication. She busts the myth that signing stops kids from talking, emphasizing that communication begets communication and that signing supports early literacy, emotional regulation, and strong parent–child connection. Along the way, she offers fascinating insights into Deaf culture, ASL "accents," and even emerging sign languages like Nicaraguan Sign Language. In the second half of the episode, Jed is joined by author Ashley Mosley and conservation biologist Michael Windelspecht  to celebrate their picture book "This Birdie Told Me." Inspired by a real scarlet macaw ambassador at the Belize Zoo, the story gently introduces young readers to endangered species, rainforest habitats, and the importance of knowing who you are. Ashley and Michael share how their books, classroom toolkits, and conservation partnerships in Belize help kids everywhere fall in love with wildlife—and feel empowered to protect it.

This week we're park rangers trying to meet the needs of all the animals we've poached... I mean, saved. Highlights include: - John is now our official Podcast Historian. We'll get him a nameplat... - British Museum, what? - You'll learn more about honey badgers than you needed or wanted... - What is this flower here for? - The blood means it's working... - Bunty doesn't have a frog... - Your honey or your life... - Everyone needs a therapy gnu... - Arctotis Venusta!! - Who can build the chodiest zoo? - I'm the greatest safarist, where's my plat? - Who succeeded the hardest?

Zoos can be great places to see birds, and not just in an aviary – wild birds sometimes feel right at home in these urban green spaces. For example, Black-crowned Night Herons love nesting near bodies of water where they can catch fish, frogs, and other prey. They may find that the pond within a crocodile exhibit is also the perfect spot for a rookery! Next time you visit a zoo near you, keep an eye out for local species, too.

In this episode, we explore what it really takes—legally—to place a manned underwater habitat beneath the surface. From private lakes and flooded quarries to the open ocean, we discuss the permits, environmental regulations, property rights, and safety requirements that come into play before anyone can build an underwater home or research station. Whether you're interested in underwater exploration, marine engineering, or futuristic living, understanding the legal framework is just as important as the engineering itself.We'll cover the differences between building on private property versus public waters, the role of agencies like the U.S. Coast Guard, NOAA, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and how international maritime law governs structures in the ocean. If you've ever wondered what it would take to make an underwater habitat a reality, this episode provides a concise introduction to the legal side of life beneath the waves.http://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.patreon.com/atlantisseacolony#UnderwaterHabitat #OceanEngineering #MarineLaw #OceanExploration #Engineering #ScubaDiving #UnderwaterLiving #NOAA #CoastGuard #MaritimeLaw #Science #Ocean #DeepSea #FutureTechnology #Podcast

In 2019, a groundbreaking study published in science revealed a devastating decline in North American bird populations. The findings were alarming: since 1970, the continent has lost nearly one-third of its birds. For instance, western forest bird populations have dropped by almost 30 percent, while grassland birds have declined by a staggering 53 percent. Yet not all news is bleak. Some bird groups have experienced remarkable recoveries in recent years. Waterfowls such as ducks, geese, and swans have increased by more than 50 percent, and raptors—including hawks, eagles, falcons, and vultures—have soared by an astonishing 200 percent. These successes are due to effective restoration efforts, targeted habitat protection, and bans on harmful substances.He is the author of "The Return of the Oystercatcher: Saving Birds to Save the Planet." http://www.scottweidensaul.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater and Ethan Tapper explore the complexities of land stewardship, focusing on the use of herbicides, the challenges of managing invasive species, and strategies for improving forest health. The speakers discuss the importance of resilience in forest ecosystems, the role of deer management in regeneration, and innovative techniques like hinge cutting to enhance habitat diversity. The discussion also touches on the upcoming book 'The Forest Year', which reflects on seasonal changes in forest management. Takeaways: Herbicides can be life-giving tools for ecosystems. Celebrating nuanced land management choices is essential. Land stewardship requires understanding that there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. Controlling invasive species is crucial for forest health. Soil and water management are key to improving forest stands. Resilience in forests is vital for their long-term health. Deer management must balance population control with habitat preservation. Hinge cutting can create structural diversity in forests. The upcoming book 'The Forest Year' focuses on seasonal forest management. Pre-ordering books can significantly impact an author's success.   Social Links https://ethantapper.com/ https://www.bearislandforestry.com/ https://www.instagram.com/howtoloveaforest/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG5pCDPHUyOiA2vW1l7L6oA https://www.facebook.com/howtoloveaforest/ https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The British-based project DEEP is developing sophisticated underwater habitats designed to allow scientists to live and work hundreds of feet below the ocean surface for weeks at a time. These futuristic, interconnected pods offer comfortable living quarters and research labs, significantly extending the time divers can spend observing marine ecosystems without the need for constant decompression. Beyond advancing marine biology and reef restoration, the program aims to study how high-pressure environments affect human physiology to improve medical treatments for various terrestrial illnesses. By establishing a permanent subaquatic presence, the initiative seeks to make ocean exploration more accessible and efficient than traditional scuba methods. Ultimately, the enterprise hopes to bridge the gap in our knowledge of the unexplored seafloor through pioneering engineering and specialized diver training.#DEEPProject #UnderwaterHabitats #SubaquaticPods #DeepSeaLiving #MarineBiologyResearch #ReefRestoration #HighPressurePhysiology #OceanExploration #SeafloorDiscovery #PioneeringEngineering #FuturisticDiving #PermanentOceanPresence #BritishOceanInnovation #DiverTrainingRevolution #BeyondScubahttp://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.patreon.com/atlantisseacolony

What do you do when tadpoles take over a horse trough? In this fun and wide-ranging episode of The Backyard Naturalists, Debbie, Laurie, and Chris dive into the fascinating world of tadpoles after a listener from California asks how to handle an unexpected amphibian boom in her horses' water troughs. Along the way, the conversation explores why frogs choose certain places to lay eggs, what tadpoles need to survive, and how understanding wildlife habitat — food, water, shelter, and places to raise young, can help explain nature's behavior right in your own backyard. Listeners will also learn practical tips for encouraging or discouraging tadpoles, what they eat as they grow, why shade and clean water matter, and how these tiny creatures can actually provide natural mosquito control. Equal parts educational and entertaining, this episode is a reminder that even a simple horse trough can become a window into the amazing processes of metamorphosis, backyard ecology, and the everyday wonder of the natural world.

If you want to truly support wildlife in your garden, it takes more than planting a few natives and pollinator favorites — it requires thinking like an ecosystem. My guest this week, landscape ecologist Dr. Shaun McCoshum, explains how mimicking natural habitats can transform even small garden spaces into thriving refuges for birds, insects and other wildlife, while still keeping them beautiful, productive and manageable.

2. Guest: Jeremy Zakis. Jeremy Zakisdiscusses how extreme rainfall, specifically seven inches in the Northern Territory, is driving wildlife toward human habitats,. He recounts a rescue mission in Queensland delayed by a large snake, which was eventually identified by a conservationist as a non-venomous brown tree snake rather than a deadly species. Zakis also shares a heartwarming story about a possum at Hobart Airport that sought shelter in a gift shop, cuddling with plush toys before being safely relocated. These events lead Zakis to reflect on Australia's strong culture of animal conservation and evolving human-animal ethics,. (2)

**Underwater habitats** are specialized, pressurized structures that allow researchers and divers to reside on the seafloor for extended durations without the need for frequent decompression. Developed initially in the 1960s through pioneering projects like **Jacques Cousteau's Conshelf** and the **U.S. Navy's SEALAB**, these facilities utilize **saturation diving** to facilitate continuous marine study and military training. Modern installations, such as the **Aquarius Reef Base**, serve as critical laboratories for coral restoration, ocean acidification research, and **NASA spaceflight analogs**. Technical advancements in **AI-driven monitoring**, self-healing materials, and renewable energy are currently expanding the feasibility of these isolated outposts. Beyond science, the concept has influenced **commercial tourism** and remains a powerful fixture in **cultural media**, symbolizing both the mystery and the peril of the deep sea. Overall, these structures bridge the gap between human physiology and the hostile aquatic environment to foster **sustainable ocean management**.#UnderwaterHabitat #SaturationDiving #AquariusReefBase #SEALAB #Conshelf #OceanExploration #DeepSeaResearch #CoralRestoration #OceanAcidification #NASA analogs #MarineScience #AquaticResearch #UnderwaterLiving #SeafloorStation #SustainableOceans #OceanInnovation #AIinOceanography #RenewableOceanEnergy #SelfHealingMaterials #JacquesCousteau #DeepSeaMystery #AquaticFrontier #HumanUnderwater #OceanExplorers Join our Discordhttps://discord.gg/W7cy7Tg9http://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.facebook.com/atlantisseacolony/

Now, there's a potential human-made solution for this human-made problem: artificial reefs. In the first part of the latest episode of Sea Change, we learn how artificial reefs are helping to provide a new habitat for sea life in Alabama. And next week, we'll learn about a similar initiative being deployed in Cambodia.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber.

On this episode we are finally in full video! And I say that hoping that nothing goes wrong and I have to delete the video and only upload the audio! Beyond that, we are going to talk about some games we played this week, including some that took us back to the early days of our collection.We are talking trains... and some stations... with a dash of trails and a sprinkle of secret adventure. And we are going to top it off with our first look at Biome, a tableau builder that had us competing to build the most diverse Biome.

Underwater habitats are pressurized seafloor structures designed to support human life and scientific research for extended periods. These facilities utilize saturation diving to allow aquanauts to work directly within marine ecosystems without the need for constant decompression. Historically, the field was pioneered in the 1960s through projects like Jacques Cousteau's Conshelf and the U.S. Navy's SEALAB, which tested human physiological limits. Today, the Aquarius Reef Base remains the primary operational laboratory for coral study and NASA spaceflight simulations. Emerging technologies, such as modular construction, AI monitoring, and renewable energy, are currently being developed to lower costs and improve sustainability. Despite challenges like high maintenance and psychological strain, these habitats remain vital for climate research, military training, and exploring the deep-sea frontier.#UnderwaterHabitat #AquariusReefBase #SaturationDiving #Aquanaut #UnderwaterLiving #SubseaHabitat #OceanHabitat #DeepSeaResearch #Conshelf #SEALAB #Cousteau #JacquesCousteau #UnderwaterPioneers #Underwater #ScubaDiving #Diving #OceanLife #MarineConservation #SaveTheOceans #UnderwaterWorld #OceanExplorationhttps://discord.gg/W7cy7Tg9http://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.facebook.com/atlantisseacolony/

Today Ken interviews his co-host Dr. Dawn Kernagis about her new position as the Director of Scientific Research for DEEP, a UK startup that is pioneering a new era of ocean exploration. For listeners unfamiliar with Dawn's background, she is a NASA-trained NEEMO Aquanaut, a Fellow of the Explorer's Club Fellow and has been inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame. In addition to co-hosting STEM-Talk for the past nine years, Dawn is also a Visiting Research Scientist at IHMC. Dawn's research over the years has been focused on protecting the brain and nervous system of people working in extreme environments. Prior to joining IHMC, Dawn completed her Ph.D. and Postdoctoral training at Duke University, where she studied the genetics of decompression sickness and mechanisms of oxygen toxicity in divers. In today's interview, Dawn talks about DEEP's mission to create subsea stations that will allow humans to live and work permanently underwater. Show notes: [00:03:20] Ken reminds listeners of Dawn's first STEM-Talk appearance as a guest on Episode 19 where she conducted the interview from the bottom of the ocean floor while she was a member of NASA's NEEMO Mission 21. [00:04:13] Ken asks Dawn what she was like as a child. [00:05:48] When Ken asks Dawn what she was like as a child, she talks about how she was an annoying kid because she was always asking people questions like, “Why is the sky blue?” [00:06:49] Dawn talks about the different places she lived during her childhood. [00:07:34] Ken mentions that Dawn was inducted into the Women's Divers Hall of Fame. He asks her how old she was when she first became interested in diving. [00:10:35] Dawn talks about how she wanted to attend the University of North Carolina after high school but ended up at North Carolina State University and then Duke University. [00:12:18] Ken asks Dawn to elaborate on her decision to change her field of study multiple times throughout her collegiate career. What follows is an interesting conversation about the importance of a person following their passion. [00:14:53] Dawn talks about cave diving and how she and her friends used to do deep dives of six and seven hours at a time. Dawn explains how this led to her obsession with ways to protect people who dive into extreme underwater environments. [00:18:28] Ken asks Dawn how she learned that some people have a genetic predisposition to decompression sickness. [00:21:32] The conversation shifts to Dawn's Ph.D. journey and how Richard Moon, who was a STEM-Talk guest on episode 26, played a significant role in her development. [00:26:14] Ken and Dawn reminisce on the practice of performing academic research in libraries. [00:28:20] Ken points out that despite Dawn's extensive experience in human physiology with respect to diving, her doctoral work focused on cancer-related research. He asks her to talk about that seemingly odd combination. [00:34:10] Dawn talks about two papers that emerged from this research. One paper addressed how genes with bimodal expression patterns not only define clinically relevant molecular subtypes of ovarian carcinoma, but also provide ideal targets for translation into the clinical laboratory. The other paper looked at precise microarray-based predictions of tumor behavior in breast cancer patients. [00:39:00] Ken asks Dawn to recount the story of how the two of them met. [00:41:52] Ken asks Dawn to discuss the paper she co-wrote with Dom D'Agostino on mitochondrial health and its relationship to potentially preventing oxygen toxicity during exposure to hyperbaric environments. Dawn goes on to talk about some of her other IHMC-related research. [00:43:22] Ken asks Dawn to discuss her acceptance into the Aquanaut Program and her participation during one of NASA's NEEMO missions. [00:46:04] Ken asks Dawn to reflect on her time on NEEMO Mission 21, and if there are any key takeaways she can discuss.
