Amy MacIver is joined by Mr Dipepeneneng Serage, Deputy Director General for Biosecurity and Natural Resources Management, to unpack Minister John Steenhuisen’s support for targeted bird flu bans. Rather than blanket bans on entire countries, Steenhuisen backs a “regionalisation” approach—limiting imports only from outbreak zones like Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul.

There are numerous tools and technologies to improve irrigation efficiency but by looking at grower demographics, we can better predict which growers will implement best management practices. Plus, we can learn how to educate all growers to improve adoption. Nicholas Babin, Assistant Professor of Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences at California Polytechnic State University, conducted a two-year study to assess Paso Robles California AVA grape growers' thoughts around climate change adaptation, irrigation efficiency, practice adoption, and SGMA. SGMA, or Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, is a California state policy aiming to bring over drafted groundwater basins into sustainability in 20 to 30 years. Agencies are established in sub basins like Paso Robles to establish groundwater management strategies for their region. After discovering that the adoption of water management strategies like soil and plant tissue monitoring devices, distribution uniformity tests, and flow meters, was lower for smaller vineyards under 40 acres, Nicholas and his team looked at other demographics to determine which factors most influence adoption of best management practices. By evaluating growers' income, rainfall, education, vineyard size, and other influences, the research found that the most important factor in predicting the adoption of water efficiency management practices is participation in the SIP Certified program for sustainable winegrowing. Nicholas also covers the Cal -Adapt tool to predict the impact of climate change on specific vineyards and gives a sneak peek at his latest research on the efficacy of carbon farming programs.

Connor Flechsig is a senior studying Natural Resources Management. Join us as we talk about the Pulliam Scholars Program, studying abroad in New Zealand, and the stigmatization (positive and negative) that comes with being a Warner student. We also address the all too familiar feeling we experience as college students that is, what we really want to do with our natural resources degree.
As of March 1st 2020, 85% of Arizona and 82% of New Mexico were in extreme to exceptional drought--the most severe drought categories used by the U.S. Drought Monitor--and other states in the Southwest were fairing similarly. Rangelands and other arid ecosystems that are able to withstand exceptionally high temperatures may not seem as vulnerable to drought as other types of ecosystems, but they may be even closer to thresholds and more vulnerable. In this episode, we spoke with two USGS scientists about their drought-related research in Southwest dryland ecosystems and how it informs natural resource management in the region. Listen in to hear some entertaining fieldwork stories, and learn about programs and projects, like the Restoration Assessment & Monitoring Program for the Southwest (RAMPS), that are designed to help managers develop better strategies for recovering ecosystems, and to foster knowledge exchange between land managers and researchers.Co-presented by the Southwest Drought Learning Network.

Mangroves are the only type of tree that can grow in saltwater, but that barely scratches the surface of why they're special. These tropical coastal forests protect the adjacent land from storms, provide nurseries for young fish, and sequester enough carbon to account for 10% of global emissions. But mangroves are being destroyed left and right from sources like coastal development, wood harvesting, and even shrimp farms, meaning one of our best defenses against climate change could be gone in the not-too-distant future. Today, we explore what mangroves do, why they're under threat, and where we go from here. With special guest Dr. Margaret Awuor Owuor: Lecturer in the School of Environment, Water, and Natural Resources Management at South Eastern Kenya University.
Gregory Clifton SmithBecoming an educator was a natural transition after being a City Planner with the NYC Parks Department Street Tree Division and the Supervisor of Horticulture at the Bronx Zoo. The most logical transition into education was becoming a Career and Technical Education instructor at the Philadelphia School District’s W. B. Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences. Additionally, I've worked in the food and wine service industry at the acclaimed Standard Hotel’s Standard Grill in New York City and Robert Mondavi's Woodbridge Estates in California. Currently, I am a Career and Technical Education teacher with a focus on Natural Resources Management and Food Science at the largest secondary Agriscience program in the United States, which also houses the largest single-school chapter of the FFA. I'm a multifaceted educator who likes to bring everything to the table when educating and influencing my students’ involvement in learning. I believe learning can be both educational and entertaining, which is why I construct multimedia STEAM-based lessons that employ creativity, real-world experiences, and active learning opportunities that are coherent, cohesive, and connected to 21st Century skills. The foundation of my teaching pedagogy is to create engaging project-based learning experiences, rooted in real-world experiences and focused on developing essential skills like communication, research, critical thinking, and problem-solving in order to prepare my students for life after graduation. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s in Environmental Science from Hampton University, a Master of Environmental Studies from the Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Science, and I am currently working on a Career and Technical Education certification and a second Master at Temple’s School of Education. Additionally, I have been recreationally trained in photography, video production, and multimedia at Delta College in Stockton, California. As evident by my academic past and present, I truly enjoy learning, and subsequently through my current experiences as Saul High School, I have learned I am a great instructor. In 2020, I was acknowledged by the School District of Philadelphia as a 2020 Lindback Award winner for Distinguished Teachers.To learn more about what I am doing to actualize this mission, please visit www.gregclifsmith.com and follow me on IG @smith.at.saul.Today's episode is SPONSORED by Mateo Records.

Extreme Element Outdoors – Nate Keeney. I am a small-town Iowa boy that grew up with a strong hunting tradition in the family. It’s all about family, friends, and the outdoors to me. Left home to pursue a career in Natural Resources Management but that all didn’t work out in the end. I am now living the American Dream of farming in Southeast Iowa. With that background, I started planting custom food plots for individuals that had the same dream I did. I joined the guys at Extreme Element Outdoors a little over a year ago, talk about great people that love the outdoors. It is great being able to get together with a group of guys and talk about hunting, fishing, and the outdoors all day every day. https://www.extremeelementoutdoors.com/ Extreme Element Outdoors is a group of avid bow/muzzleloader hunters that reside in Iowa and Pennsylvania. Our group was created in April of 2016, after finally obtaining equipment that would allow us to film our hunts. The group comprises of seven dedicated pro-staff members; Emmitt Enyeart, Chris Enyeart, Casey Walker, Jeff Dickinson, Gary Wright, Nate Keeney and Allen Knepper. Chasing mature Whitetail deer, finding their sheds, and taking down big gobblers is what we truly enjoy. After continually finding ways to accomplish these tasks, we have finally decided to start filming. We are just your average DIY hunters that work 40+ hours a week and hunt whenever the opportunity is presented. We primarily hunt on public ground, and private tracts. We are here to show you the strategies and lessons we have learned over the years as your average hunter.
Climate change remains one of the biggest threats to humanity and will no doubt change the direction of our economies, cultures, and collective futures. It can be hard, however, to determine the ways in which we can combat such changes given breadth and scale of the changes underway. Thinley Namgyel serves as the Chief Environment Officer for the government of Bhutan and works on the front lines of our changing landscape. Even though I've known Thinley for more than twenty years - I learned a great deal from our conversation: Water conservation and water flows are one of the largest challenges to Bhutan's future, Bilateral government funding remain crucial to supporting low-income countries and their work on behalf of the environment, Least Developed Countries (LDC) are their own organizing entity and are helping inform some of the most dramatic environmental challenges around the world. We also talked about the intersection of life and climate change - and what we can do to support the wider ecosystem. Here we talked about Thinley's Grandmother's garden, the growing Mountain Biking scene and reclaiming of ancient trails, and the long-view it takes to make progress. Whether you're focused on climate change directly - or another social challenge - Thinley's humble look at social innovation and its importance to our future is a powerful story we can all learn from. Show Notes: If you're looking to get oriented, here's where Bhutan's located. Find out more about Bhutan's National Environment Commission here. Learn more about the Paris Climate Agreement here. Get up to speed on Bhutan's Mountain Biking scene here. If you were like me...and wanted to get a sense of what Thinley's Grandmother's chilies might have looked like - here's a peak. Thinley's Bio: Thinley Namgyel is Chief Environment Officer, Climate Change Division of Bhutan’s National Environment Commission and oversees the coordination of climate change policies and programs in Bhutan. He initiated the preparation of Bhutan’s NAPA and coordinated the implementation of priority NAPA projects. He also led the preparation of the Bhutan’s Second National Communication to the UNFCCC and the National Strategy and Action Plan for Low Carbon Development and is currently overseeing the development of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions and Low Emission Development Strategies in Bhutan. He chairs the Technical Advisory Panel to the Bhutan Trust Fund for Environmental Conservation and is a member of the Executive Committee of Tarayana Foundation, both based in Bhutan. He has been a member of the Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG) of the UNFCCC since 2011. He has a M.Sc. in Conservation Biology and Sustainable Development from the University of Maryland, and a B.Sc. in Natural Resources Management from the University of Wisconsin. As a keen photographer and naturalist, he co-authored “A Photo Guide to the Flowers of Bhutan” published by WWF in 2009.
In the 1980s Meg Weesner was among a pioneer generation of women to move into Natural Resources Management in the National Park Service. During her career she discovered that collaboration with partners was the best way to preserve and protect valuable resources.
Matthew Barnes is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Resources Management. Dr. Barnes dives into a demonstration of how much air traffic there is around the world and that we need to be aware that it allows plants, animals, and disease vectors to move around the globe to become invasive. Invasive species have important environmental and economic impact. His research focuses on predicting biological invasions by using genetic tools and environmental DNA. Organisms shed genetic material and his team collects environmental DNA by taking soil, water, and air samples. Dr. Barnes concludes by going through the framework of the ecology of eDNA which is: origin, state, transport, and fate.
Samantha Kahl is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Resources Management. Dr. Kahl’s introduction focused on the brown tree snake that she studied in Guam. The brown tree snakes are secret species and they can easily get on the shipment plane and have been found in the wheels and luggage. The number of shipments gives potential for invasive species to be successful. Dr. Kahl’s second project focused on climate and habitat suitability for species. Her team is looking at routes and assessing them to tell which one would be best for that ecosystem and where along the roadway different types of planning are in order to accommodate species. Dr. Kahl stressed the importance of using science to inform planning.
Kerry Griffis-Kyle is an Associate Professor in wetland ecology in the Department of Natural Resources Management. Kerry discuses the importance of wetlands and how climate can influence these waters such as when temperatures rise evaporation increases which leads to a decrease in water. Kerry looks at how climate change influences desert water quantity and quality for wildlife. Her goal is to provide information and tools to land mangers so they can better manager their wetlands for wildlife.
Warren Conway is the chair in wildlife management in the Department of Natural Resources Management. Warren discusses Salinas lakes that exist in the Southern High Plains and how climate change is affecting them. He explains geomorphology of Salinas how they are large well-defined closed basins. He explains how these Salinas form and how they are much different then playas. The wet dry cycle is out of balance because of climate change and the decline of water from the Ogallala aquifer affects these systems.
Tim Grabowski is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Resources Management. He dives into the distribution of fish in response to climate change. He stresses that people cannot treat all fish the same because they are different and may have different responses in different places. Tim is working on a study looking at how estrogen dependent fishes in based systems affect them and their response to climate change. He found a decline rate in growth with fishes in drought conditions. He explains how he is looking at ways how they can use any observed differences among populations to improve the management and conservation strategies.
Blake Grisham is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Resources Management. He discusses a project he has been working on with Lesser-Prairie Chickens. He studied how temperatures affected these species and found that when it was above 90 degrees the birds would leave their nests because in drought conditions birds do not respond well. His study wanted to assess the range of the species and see if environmental conditions drive nest survival? They are going to continue this study to see how the birds in the northern expansive respond in microclimate conditions.
Brad Dabbert is a Professor of Quail Ecology in the Department of Natural Resources Management. He explains a program named The Quail Tech Alliance, which is an agreement between a funding agency at Texas Tech to further their knowledge and understand northern bobwhite and scaled quail. The plan to do this by conducting research and educate new biologist and landowners concerning quail management. He also discusses how weather affects populations. They have found that their nesting is affected, body weights are reduced, nests are destroyed during hailstorms, and conditions of wet and cool temperature in the spring lead to chick mortality.
Sarah Fritts is a post doctorate in the Department of Natural Resources Management. Sarah's presentation about wildlife is focused on people’s perceptions of wildlife. Sarah wants to flip the script of common headlines about wildlife extinctions exacerbated by climate change. She’s interested in communicating to society how wildlife can directly benefit people.

Irving native Jennifer Zavaleta is fascinated with the natural world. As a master’s student in the Department of Natural Resources Management, Zavaleta says she benefited greatly from enrolling in classes outside her major, incorporating her knowledge from agricultural education, communications, and sociology into her scholarship. Among her research opportunities, Zavaleta received a grant for her paper that highlighted assumptions made by government agents and researchers in regard to land management, as well as created a literature review about lesser prairie chickens, a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act—all through a collaboration with wildlife ecology Adjunct Professor David Haukos. Zavaleta’s thesis, which was based on data collected over thirteen years, evaluated the effect of tebuthiuron herbicide and rotational grazing on shinnery oak, a shrub that is native to Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. Since graduating last spring, Zavaleta has embarked on a journey taking her to Chile as part of her selection as a Student Fulbright Fellow. The first half of her fellowship consisted of a program evaluation of the country’s Long-Term Ecological Research Network, and the second half has involved assessing the land management plan for a community that lives in a national forest.
