Podcasts about high country searching

Environmental consciousness has grounded and fueled the work of Jason Mark in so many different arenas. Jason is the editor of Sierra Magazine (as in the Sierra Club), former editor of Earth Island Journal, and the author of Satellites in the High Country: Searching for the Wild in the Age of Man. He's even helped to revive the largest urban farm in San Francisco. In this episode, Jason chats about the waking nightmare that he (and other environmentalists) experienced during the 4 years of Trump's presidency. We discuss the future of big oil and gas companies and the lawsuits that cities have brought against them owing to the damages wrought by climate change. He explains that Exxon Mobile learned about climate change in the 1970's but continued to peddle pro- fossil fuel, anti- climate change propaganda.

California has long led the country in environmental action. It established strong automobile emission standards; it preserved fragile lands from development; it set energy efficiency standards for buildings and appliances. But as climate change fuels megafires across the state and the state’s largest electric utility shuts off power to more than a million residents, can the state’s legacy of environmental leadership save it from climate disaster? In a state already accustomed to swinging wildly between drought and flood, what will become of the California dream?

Thanks to climate change, the wild corners of the planet are shrinking or disappearing altogether. How can we preserve the natural world and its creatures? Bernie Krause, Soundscape Artist; Author, Voices of the Wild: Animal Songs, Human Din, and the Call to Save Natural Soundscapes (Yale University Press, 2015) Jason Mark, Editor, Earth Island Journal; Author, Satellites in the High Country: Searching for the Wild in the Age of Man (Island Press, 2015) Tanya Peterson, Director, San Francisco Zoo This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on September 24, 2015.

“In New Mexico's Gila Wilderness, 106 Mexican gray wolves may be some of the most monitored wildlife on the planet. Collared, microchipped, and transported by helicopter ... once a symbol of the wild, these wolves have come to illustrate the demise of wilderness in this Human Age. ... And yet, the howl of an unregistered wolf—half of a rogue pair—splits the night. If you know where to look, you'll find that much remains untamed, and even today, wildness can remain a touchstone for our relationship with the rest of nature.” That's journalist and adventurer Jason Mark writing in his new book “Satellites in the High Country: Searching for the Wild in the Age of Man.” He says that wildness is wily as a coyote: you have to be willing to track it to understand the least thing about it. Today on the program Jason Mark joins us for the hour.
