Podcasts about San Diego Zoo Global

I read a lot. It fuels my writing, gives me a better view of the world, and is a great way to travel through time and space. Every once in a while, I run across a book that really hits me as a must-read. Episode two was about Sam Kean's book, The Disappearing Spoon; Episode eleven was about The Age of Wonder, by Richard Holmes; and Episode 255 was about William Least Heat-Moon's Blue Highways. In this program, I'm going to talk about Lynda Rutledge's novel, West with Giraffes, which I finished last night. Sabine recommended this one to me; as I closed the back cover, I realized that there were tears on my face. This is one great book. But there's more to the story of this episode. The book made me think about current events in the context of past events and made me realize that we're far better off now than we were in 1938—or any year hence. Those who feel otherwise and who look to the past to find “the good old days” won't find them, because they don't exist: “The Good Old Days” is a dangerous and misleading myth. Better days only lie ahead, in our collective future, and it is our job to make them real. Please have a listen—this is an important message. Note: Image copyright San Diego Zoo Global.

If it's true that over 50% of the plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is actually tangled fishing nets, then what about the rest of the ocean? How many lost, discarded and wasted nets are out there!? How do we get them out? Better question, how can we stop the problem from getting worse?! On this episode of Wave Makers, Tamara chats with Sara Aubery of Net Your Problem. Founded by Nicole Baker, this team of women is working to stop fishing nets and gear from ending up in the ocean or landfills. They provide fishermen with the waste management system that has been absent for so long. Sara has worked in natural resource management and conservation for over 15 years with organizations like NOAA, San Diego Zoo Global and The Nature Conservancy. She and Tamara discuss how as the Business and Project Development Coordinator for Net Your Problem, she works to form symbiotic partnerships to collect the otherwise wasted nets and give them new life in other industry's supply chains.

En este episodio de RCN Digital:- Estas granjas flotantes resistentes al agua salada nos darán de comer cuando suba el nivel del mar- Termina esta semana 'Merca Week', una jornada que busca promover la compra de alimentos y productos de la canasta familiar a través de internet- ¿Hacia donde se traslada el debate político digital en Brasil?- Clonación de animales gracias a la ayuda San Diego Zoo Global

The wildlife rich island of Sumatra is experiencing a road building boom, causing some of its iconic creatures to be seen by construction workers: a photo of a Sumatran tiger crossing a highway work-site went viral this summer, for example.  This smallest of all tiger subspecies still needs its space despite its stature: up to 250 square kilometers for each one's territory. A single road cut into their forest habitat encroaches on these key areas, where less than 400 of these critically endangered animals persist. Road building creates access to impenetrable forests that are home to all kinds of creatures, though, enabling illegal hunting and fragmenting habitats. To discuss the impact of - and alternatives to - such infrastructure projects as the billion dollar Trans-Sumatran Highway, we reached Hariyo “Beebach” Wibisono, a research fellow at the San Diego Zoo Global & director of SINTAS Indonesia, plus Bill Laurance, a distinguished professor at James Cook University, who is also head of ALERT, the Alliance of Leading Environmental Researchers and Thinkers.

The San Diego Zoo Global's Institute for Conservation Research maintains what is called the frozen zoo. For decades, carefully collected and prepared cell samples from over 1000 species, many of them listed as threatened or endangered and nearing extinction, have been stored almost indefinitely in ultra cold freezers.  Recently, the frozen zoo played an instrumental role in the successful cloning of an endangered Przewalski's Horse by providing the genetic material from a long deceased yet underrepresented stallion. SDZG's Dr. Oliver Ryder has spent his career working to preserve the Przewalski's Horse and many other species through scientifically managed breeding programs and husbandry in human care. However, when the number of individuals in a rare population is very small the natural loss of genetic diversity can't be met or prevented by managed breeding methods alone. Thus, Dr. Oliver describes how  increasing the number of species and individuals from which cells are collected and stored would provide future generations with the option of whether and to what extent assisted reproductive techniques should be used to increase species biodiversity.

Recently, historic news of the successful birth of an endangered Przewalski's Horse foal conceived through cloning technology was announced. Remarkably, the nuclear material used for the purpose of expanding the genetic diversity of this managed species was from a genetically underrepresented stallion that has been deceased for many years. The stallion's DNA had been preserved at what is colloquially called the Frozen Zoo located at the San Diego Zoo Global's Institute for Conservation Research. Ryan Phelan, co-founder of Revive & Restore and lead scientist Ben Novak discuss the use and future promise of technology to increase biodiversity of vulnerable populations in what they deem  "genetic rescue."

In this episode, we speak with our friend Don Janssen, retired head of veterinary medicine for San Diego Zoo Global. He discusses a list of myths we tell ourselves about leadership and in this episode we go over the first three myths. The truth about leadership, Don shares, is often radically different than these myths. Keep an eye out for Part 2 over the next couple weeks, and a summary of these myths will be available soon.  For more information on servant leadership or Servant Leadership Institute, please visit our website at www.servantleadershipinstitute.com for more resources and tools to help you on your journey with servant leadership.     

Oliver Ryder, Kleberg Endowed Director of Conservation Genetics at San Diego Zoo Global joins the podcast to discuss the Frozen Zoo, the world's largest, most diverse, most characterized, and most utilized collection of its kind. Press play to discover the following: Why now is a time when more genetic samples can be collected than ever (and the importance of doing so as a result of loss of species and decline in numbers) How many institutions are sending samples to the San Diego Zoo for collection, and how many cells of individual vertebrates are already frozen in this genetic bank What type of useful and unprecedented knowledge the Frozen Zoo will bring about regarding molecular genetics and stem cells Only within the last 60 years or so has it been possible to grow animal cells in the lab, freeze them, and revive them in a way that allows them to resume their function. This technology has made a huge contribution to the field of genomics and conservation science, allowing for a better understanding of the evolution of life, errors in the transmission of chromosomes that cause disease, extinction risks of certain species, and genetic diseases in endangered species to provide better health care and prevent extinction. The Frozen Zoo in San Diego was founded by physician Kurt Benirschke with the goal of helping to conserve endangered species. It now contains cells of 10,000 individual vertebrates (fishes, reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals) and 1,200 species. This, however, is just the tip of the iceberg; the goal is to continue adding to this collection until samples of all 60,000-70,000 vertebrate species have been obtained.   Ryder discusses many fascinating topics, including the collection of several high priority species samples, the increasing need to integrate efforts to save species in natural habitats that are preserved in human care, how scientists can access the database of frozen genetic samples, the Vertebrate Genome Project, how the genetic sequencing of animal genomes can provide interesting insight into human disease assessment, the ethical aspects of this type of work, and more.

The California Condor is the largest bird naturally found in North America and by the mid 1980's its population had plummeted to a few dozen individuals. Society had a choice: let the species pass into oblivion or develop a bold and untested plan to collect, preserve, and eventually, repopulate the desert southwest with wild animals and their descendants that could fend for themselves. Animal expert Michael Mace from San Diego Zoo Global describes some of the early obstacles to success and the pressure professionals from the San Diego and Los Angeles zoos felt working with the world's only remaining California Condors. While some of the the factors (e.g., use of pesticide DDT) that led to the condor's near extinction over thirty years ago may have faded, new and persisting risks remain. Not only has the Condor conservation program continued to evolve and incorporate new technologies to meet these challenges, it continues to serve as a model and inspiration to preserve other critically endangered species. https://institute.sandiegozoo.org/species/california-condor www.iReinforce.com www.facebook.com/ZooLogicpodcast/ http://zoologic.libsyn.com This week's That Sounds Wild comes from www.conservationambassadors.org  

In this episode we talk with our friend Don Janssen, DVM about a recent blog he wrote, Preventing Conflict by Learning to Like People. Don is the retired corporate director of animal health for San Diego Zoo Global. In this blog he outlines three principals for preventing conflict.

I believe you will find this week’s episode of the Future of Work Podcast to be extremely fascinating, insightful and exciting. My guest is Tim Mulligan, Chief Human Resources Officer of San Diego Zoo Global. Most of my guests have been from large brands in very traditional business areas, such as technology, finance, etc. with employees that are typically from a primary group of knowledge. But, Tim is directly responsible for managing a wide range of employees in very diverse areas such as horticulture, botany, zoology, catering, retail, and animal trainers, to name a few. When you think about the future of work in that context, it is very different from the future of work in a company like IBM, Coca-Cola or any other company you may be familiar with. And, one would not think of a zoo as being one of the most forward-thinking and progressive organizations that is also ranked as one of the best places to work in San Diego.   Tim and I have a very, very interesting conversation concentrating on redefining culture to focus on performance. Tim has been with the company for quite some time and he shares with us what it was like when he first started and what it is like now; and why he had to move the corporate culture at San Diego Zoo Global to be more focused on performance. We get an inside look at the initiatives and innovations he has implemented around performance and accountability; employee engagement; talent management; Millennials, Baby Boomers and everyone in-between; the role of technology; and the evolution of management and leadership practices at the company. Listen in to Tim’s very unique and diverse experience that you will definitely learn much from. Enjoy!   (Music by Ronald Jenkees)
