Wild, Incisive, Fearless, the Revelator. With John Platt, editor of the independent online environmental news and ideas initiative of the Center for Biological Diversity, we delve into and question some of the top conservation headlines: From the Extinction Countdown, to ways to ward off despair, to the state of our world and the positive trends in science conservation communication. The Revelator is an incredibly rich online resource for the public turn to learn what the critical issues are today, from the ongoing challenges of the pandemic to meaningful actions we can take every day, from wherever we are, to do something whenever we can, and that social networking allows for meaningful conversations and activism vs. clickavism. This encore is relevant for today's challenges in staving off despair while we remain safer at home and headlines are hijacked by so much we cannot control. Today we provide a wide base of other news to remind us there is a whole wild wide world out there.

Today with my guest John R. Platt, editor of the Revelator, an independent online environmental news and ideas initiative of the Center for Biological Diversity, we delve into and question some of the top conservation headlines: the Extinction Countdown to what is at stake for us from the knowledge that will be gone from living in an increasingly homogenous world. How we think of ‘trade in species' as this year's critical CITES CoP18 with an agenda of 57 species listings and the decisions that can well affect the continued existence of earths' megafauna from elephants and rhinos to lions to sharks and whales, to insects. Is de-extinction possible? What are the ramifications? What are the positive trends in science conservation communication? Where can the public turn to learn more and take meaningful action every day, from wherever we are, to do something whenever we can, and just how important social networking is to converse with each other verse ‘clickavism'.

A little good news for a change... Amur Leopards were poised to be extinct with only about 30 of these gorgeous big cats left in the world, but humans stepped up and helped provide a safe habitat and they are now up to a population of 103! Still not perfect, but going in the right direction. Great report from wildlife Green Dude John R. Platt, who writes Extinction Countdown and edits The Revelator for The Center for Biological Diversity.

This week on CounterSpin: Two recent stories that are hard to miss, but about which some might say most media are missing the point. First, an anti-abortion group is releasing “sting” videos claiming to show that Planned Parenthood profits from the sale of fetal body parts, but rather than focus on sorting facts from flame-fanning, media are spending time scoring the grandstanding match among Republican politicians. Jodi Jacobson of RH Reality Check will join us to talk about who might profit most from this story. Also on the show: The killing of the popular African lion known as Cecil by a trophy hunter led some into an unhelpful parlor game of lions vs. people: Which do you care about? Journalists could move the conversation off that dime with a thoughtful examination of the state of animal preservation and the impact of extinction on us all. What might that look like? We'll hear from journalist John R. Platt, who writes about extinction as well as other environmental issues for Scientific American, among other outlets.).
