Podcasts about protected areas

Energy policy shifts in the U.S. are sparking concern as the government rolls back environmental regulations to fast-track oil and gas drilling. In this episode, we examine how these rollbacks could jeopardize ecosystems, especially marine environments, and undermine efforts to transition to clean energy sources. Environmental protections have long served as safeguards for biodiversity and climate resilience, but these new changes prioritize short-term energy gains over long-term sustainability. We discuss the potential consequences for marine protected areas, public health, and climate policy, and what you can do to take action.

Are OECMs (Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures) just as effective as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in protecting biodiversity? In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, we break down the differences, benefits, and challenges of OECMs, particularly in Canada's conservation strategy. Learn how fisheries closures and Indigenous-led conservation initiatives contribute to marine biodiversity and whether they should be counted toward Canada's 30x30 target.  

Nations across the world are working to expand their protected areas to include 30% of Earth's land and water by 2030. In Africa, this would encompass an additional 1 million square miles. Mongabay's Ashoka Mukpo recently traveled to three nations to assess the current state of conservation practices in key protected areas, to get a better picture of what an expansion might look like, and how the crucial role of rangers in enforcing their protection is evolving. While there, he traveled with passionate and dedicated rangers, but also documented allegations of ranger involvement in violent incidents in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda.  He joins the podcast to describe the situation, which he says is commonplace in national parks across the continent. "The amount [of] violence and aggressive enforcement that is, I think, generally associated with wildlife rangers has led to a lot of mistrust, a lot of alienation, and a real sense that 'the purpose of these people is to kind of harass and impose a system that doesn't include us, on us,'" Mukpo says.

How best to stop the spread of a tiny beetle that could have a huge impact on the future health and profits of UK forestry? From the end of this month all new planting of spruce, with a handful of exceptions, will be banned across much of the south east of England. The restrictions form part of the Government's plans to control the bark beetle, a pest which has caused significant damage to forests across Europe. It was first found in the UK in 2018, this latest measure is a new addition to current rules restricting the felling and movement of spruce trees, their bark and their wood.Environmental groups say the Scottish Government is failing the nation's marine environment by leaving large areas of the seabed unprotected. It's ten years since the introduction of Marine Protected Areas, but restrictions have still not been fully implemented. We're talking about how we manage water in the landscape all this week, so we've been to see how re-wiggling a river works on a restored floodplain in Wiltshire. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

What you are allowed to do in wilderness areas is a hot topic. The Wilderness and Ecological Reserves Advisory Council (WERAC), which advises the government on protected areas, is holding meetings in Lewisporte and Norris Arm this week. The province is looking at ten proposed areas right now. The Newfoundland and Labrador Prospectors Association recently told us why it's concerned about the setting aside of land for conservation. Evan Edinger is a member of WERAC and a professor of geography, biology and earth sciences at Memorial University.

Some more natural areas of the province might have protected status in the years to come. That's because the provincial environment department is pressing ahead with consultations on ten new protected areas. The areas were among those proposed by an advisory council back in 2021, in a report called Home for Nature. The Wilderness and Ecological Reserves Advisory Council, or WERAC, recommended the protection of 32 sites in all. Now, this is an important step toward putting protection in place for some of them. Bernard Davis is Minister of Environment and Climate Change.

Limestone barrens on the Port au Port and Northern Peninsulas. And virtually untouched forests in Central Newfoundland. Those are just a few of the natural landscapes that could become protected areas. The Newfoundland and Labrador government announced last week that it will hold consultations on 10 proposed protected areas. The decision to act comes more than two years after a report said new protected areas should be established. That report, from May 2021, was by the Wilderness and Ecological Reserve Advisory Council, or WERAC. Graham Wood is co-chair of WERAC.

The recipient of numerous honors, she was the first conservationist to be awarded the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy.  Tune in 10 AM - 12 PM EST weekdays on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT; YouTube.com/@1210WPHT; or on the Audacy app!

F202 lived right in the heart of Yellowstone National Park where Anton used groundbreaking technology to study not only where she moved, but also how she hunted. F202 was a fantastic hunter and mom, rearing a number of litters in the park. However, some of her offspring wandered out of the park where they can be legally hunted, showing the challenges of large predators living with the risk of this harvest, and the value of protected areas as a way to help species survival.

There's been a new development in the process to protect Charlie's Place. It's an area of Central Newfoundland between the Northwest and Southwest Gander Rivers, not far from Glenwood and Appleton. Last year, Indigenous people and other residents of the area spoke out against a plan for wood harvesting in the area. They want the area to be recognized as an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area. Now, as a short-term measure, the advisory council WERAC is calling on the provincial government to grant emergency protection to Charlie's Place. Graham Wood is co-chair of WERAC, the Wilderness and Ecological Reserves Advisory Council.

Insects can be found in every environment on Earth and play crucial roles in the planet's ecosystems.  In fact, Biologist E. O. Wilson once said that “if all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago.  If insects were to vanish, the […]

In this episode, Hita and Michael speak with noted Indian environmentalist Ashish Kothari, who works at the interface between development and environment and focuses particularly on radical alternatives to development discourses. Ashish is a familiar name to people working in the Indian environmental context as well as those who engage with degrowth, not least because of his strong involvement in grassroots environmental movements such as the Narmada Bachao Andolan in the country. He is one of founders of Kalpavriksh, a Non-Profit Organisation in India which deals with environmental and development issues. In addition, he wears many other hats – as an academic and teacher, as a member of international steering committees such as those of the World Commission on Protected Areas or the Convention on Biodiversity Alliance. He has also worked as a member of several Government of India committees including those responsible for assessing India's Forest Rights Act and drafting the country's National Wildlife Action Plan and Biodiversity Act. He is also the coordinator of Vikalp Sangam, a platform that brings together organisations and individuals who work on development alternatives across India. He is also one of the editors of the book Pluriverse: a post development dictionary. In our conversation Ashish reflects upon the influence of his early childhood experiences with environmental activism – particularly protests against the shooting of the Great Indian Bustard by Saudi Arabian Princes and against tree felling in the Delhi Ridge Forest upon his engagement with environmental conservation. He asks the pertinent question: can wildlife conservation happen at the cost of human rights? We speak about the eternal debate of development vs the environment, and his conviction that the idea of development per se itself is deeply flawed. Instead, he says, what we need are different notions of well-being emerging from different parts of the world serving to replace the idea of development. We spoke about the dangers of viewing community led action as yet another panacea but also recognising the inherent strength present within them. We discuss moving beyond dichotomies of community vs government instead looking towards alternatives where we can enable communities to regain their balance in different ways. We reflect upon the importance of building and being part of networks that both keep you going but also stand ready to continue in your place, and how that very act of working together poses further challenges if one were to consider identity building, branding or even issues of satisfying personal egos. We end with some reflection on Ashish's conceptualization of the term Eco Swarajya and the challenges associated with misappropriation of culturally or spiritually loaded terms.

In this episode, Michael and Stefan speak with Dan Brockington, Professor and director of the Sheffield Institute for International Development at the University of Sheffield. They talk to Dan about his important work on protected areas, and in particular two books he has written on the subject: Fortress Conservation: The Preservation of the Mkomazi Game Reserve, Tanzania, and Nature Unbound: Conservation, Capitalism and the Future of Protected Areas. They discuss the distinction between reality and (sometimes true) myths that help to sustain nature reserves through their representation, and help to provide “brand value” for conservation. Relatedly, they discussed the relationships between conservation, capitalism, and celebrity. Dan's website: https://danbrockington.com/   References: Brockington, D. 2002.
