In this episode of the Green Outdoors Podcast, the crew dives into the uncomfortable reality of human behavior in wild places. while Ryan derails the show by setting off a stink bomb mid-recording. From real Yellowstone hot springs deaths to shocking wildlife encounters and snow leopard attacks, the conversation explores why people ignore warning signs, chase viral selfies, and underestimate nature with sometimes fatal consequences. The episode also takes an unexpected cultural turn as Ryan brings up a traditional African pastoralist tribe whose way of life revolves around cattle—including the practical uses of cow dung for building, fuel, and daily living. In this episode, we discuss: • Real Yellowstone hot springs tragedies and geothermal hazards • Why visitors ignore warning signs, barriers, and park safety rules • The psychology behind selfie culture and risky behavior in national parks • Snow leopard attacks and the rise of humans and wildlife conflict worldwide • How viral wildlife videos and social media influence dangerous behavior • A traditional African cattle-based culture and how cow dung is used for shelter, fuel, and survival • Ryan setting off a stink bomb mid-episode—and the chaos that followed Watch our HISTORY Channel show on: HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors & WAYPOINT TV: https://waypointtv.com/watch/the-green-way-outdoors Follow us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com #YellowstoneNationalPark #YellowstoneHotSprings #WildlifeAttacks #SnowLeopardAttack #HumanWildlifeConflict #NationalParkSafety #OutdoorPodcast #TheGreenWayOutdoors #StinkBomb Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on:FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

Family Matters Ch. 18Locking eyes with Shanks, the necromancer speaks a single word and casts Power Word Kill. Shanks falls dead, and the battlefield goes silent. But only for a moment, and as the battle rages on to its imminent conclusion, Shanks finds himself in the Veil. He is met there by his ancestral God, The Hunter. The two converse on his journey through life and his progress toward balance. Their conversation ended with the awakening of Mind's Eye to its full potential. Meanwhile, the party pushes their enemies toward defeat when the necromancer casts Cone of Cold, dropping Turk unconscious.As he falls, time slows to a stop, and he meets his much-maligned patron, Kas the Bloody-handed. The Vampire questions Turks' resolve and motivations for his pact, ultimately relieving the halfling of his powers after he refuses to do the betrayer's bidding. Turk isn't the only one pushed to the edge by the Cone of Cold. Zechs soon falls unconscious after a strike from the barbarian. The Tabaxi awakes in a vision of the spirit world of his people, the Goddess of the realm at his side. Tumra, the Snow Leopard, helps the Ranger unburden himself through thoughtful conversation and quiet contemplation. As the battle comes to a dramatic close, with Salix performing the revivify spell on Shanks' lifeless body, the archer's time in the Veil draws to a close. He meets the Matron of Ravens, who informs him that his time in the land of the living is not at an end. She, like the party, is opposed to the Constable's plans and wishes for him to take her blessing back to stop the needless loss of life, once and for all. Shanks accepts this gift as everything fades to black.There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!Theme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceMixed by Thomas Lapierre IIITitle Card by Pierce Graphics Check out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.

S4|EP14 - Balancing Development and Snow Leopard Conservation in Pakistan's Mountain Ecosystems with Hamza Butt

In this in-depth episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, host Anish Banerjee speaks with Hamza Butt, about one of the most urgent yet under-discussed challenges facing conservation today: how to reconcile development with the protection of fragile mountain ecosystems.Hamza's work sits at the intersection of sustainable linear infrastructure, biodiversity conservation, and climate policy. Drawing on his experience in Pakistan and across the Hindu Kush Himalaya, he explains how roads, railways, pipelines, and other forms of linear infrastructure can fragment habitats, disrupt ecological connectivity, and intensify human-wildlife conflict. For wide-ranging species like the snow leopard, even a single road can sever movement routes across vast mountain landscapes, increasing mortality risks and altering behaviour in ways that cascade across entire ecosystems.The conversation delves deeply into snow leopard conservation and the realities facing mountain biodiversity in Pakistan. With fewer than 200 snow leopards estimated to remain in the country, pressures from climate change, infrastructure expansion, and habitat loss are converging at unprecedented speed. Hamza describes how shrinking prey bases and degraded habitats push snow leopards closer to human settlements, leading to retaliatory killings and escalating conflict. These dynamics make snow leopard conservation inseparable from broader questions of mountain ecology, livelihoods, and equitable development.A central theme of the episode is how sustainable linear infrastructure can be planned differently. Hamza outlines how evidence-based decision-making, robust environmental impact assessments, and the mitigation hierarchy can help avoid, reduce, and offset ecological damage. From wildlife crossings and noise reduction to strategic route planning, he explains how infrastructure can coexist with mountain biodiversity conservation when guided by data rather than box-ticking exercises.Listeners will also gain insight into global policy processes, including how international guidance on infrastructure and biodiversity is translated into national action. Hamza reflects on the challenges of working in data-poor regions, the risks of poorly designed EIAs, and the importance of aligning climate change responses with biodiversity conservation goals. Throughout the episode, mountain conservation emerges not as a niche concern, but as a frontline issue for sustainable development in a warming world.This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in snow leopard conservation, sustainable linear infrastructure, mountain biodiversity, human wildlife conflict, and the future of biodiversity conservation in high-altitude ecosystems under climate change pressure.#sustainablelinearinfrastructure #linearinfrastructure #snowleopard #snowleopardconservation #mountainbiodiversity #mountainconservation #mountainbiodiversityconservation #humanwildlifeconflict #climatechange #biodiversityconservation #mountainecology Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

Note: This episode originally aired in October 2023. Snow leopards are among the hardest animals to find in the wild, both because of how rare they are, and because their coats are adapted to provide camouflage that makes them hard to see against the rugged mountain landscape they call home. With an estimated 4,000-6,500 snow leopards remaining in the wild, conservationists have been working in snow leopard range countries across Asia to build a more stable future for these big cats. And recently, Bhutan reported some good news: the population of snow leopards in that country has increased by nearly 40% since 2016. In this episode, you'll hear from Dechen Dorji, Senior Director for Asia on WWF's Wildlife Conservation team. He talks about the many characteristics that make snow leopards unique (5:07), the threats that have caused snow leopard populations to decline (13:01), and what we can learn from Bhutan's recent success to help snow leopards thrive across all 12 range countries they call home (17:52).

In this November edition of Apple Crunch, Thomas, John, and Desiree dig into a surprisingly busy month for Apple. We start with the iPhone Air's underwhelming debut and why Apple may be rethinking its strategy after weak sales and confusing pricing. Next, we explore Apple's ongoing talks to bring a Gemini-powered core to Siri—what that means for privacy, how it blends with Apple Intelligence, and how it may finally close the gap with today's leading AI assistants.We also look ahead to iOS 27, which is shaping up to be a major stability-focused update across all Apple platforms—echoing the beloved Snow Leopard era—with an emphasis on fixing long-standing issues including Braille bugs and Personal Voice quirks.From there, we move into Apple's evolving 2026 roadmap, including new release schedules for iPhones and Macs, the long-rumored foldable iPhone, a next-generation smart home device, and early hints of Apple smart glasses. We also discuss a promising Vision AI web app offering detailed grid-based image exploration and real-time scene updates.

The snow leopard, a mysterious and endangered big cat, roams the High Himalayas across a dozen countries—many of them rivals in politics, religion, and ideology. Yet these nations have found rare common ground: protecting this remarkable animal. In this episode, Dr. Charu Mishra, Executive Director of the Snow Leopard Trust, explains how a shared commitment to conservation has become a bridge for peace and cooperation in one of the world's most fragile and contested regions. From climate change to border conflicts, the Himalayas mirror global challenges—but Mishra's story reveals that even amid tension and competition, shared humanity and ecological interdependence can inspire collaboration. His work offers a model for how protecting nature can also protect people.

Welcome back to the Grey Dynamics Podcast. This week, we welcome back Raymond White, a former CIA senior case officer with over 25 years of experience in the field. Raymond spent his entire career as a case officer focusing on counter-proliferation and counter-terrorism, earning the nickname “The Snow Leopard” within the agency. He also served as head of the CIA's enterprise training program for aspiring case officers. Raymond has now created what he describes as the most comprehensive Human Intelligence (HUMINT) course available anywhere. We spoke about the course structure, the psychology and ethics of espionage, historical case studies like Oleg Gordievsky, for whom the course is designed for, and the potential for in-person trainingFind Raymond White:Grey DynamicsHuman Intelligence Fundamentals Course (coming soon)Related Links:Former Senior CIA Officer Raymond White on HUMINT and Training the Next Generation - Episode 56Former CIA Collection Management Officer with Esther Atwell on LifeSenior CIA Ops Officer John Atwell on Culture Change, Working with Five Eyes and Career AdviceFrom the Defence Human Intelligence Unit to Recruitment with MackAustralian Intelligence, Demystifying HUMINT and Mental Health with D. - Episode 35Former German Military HUMINT Operator Christoph Stegemann - Episode 58 Hosted on Acast.

Writer Lance Richardson rejoins the show to celebrate his magnificent new biography, TRUE NATURE: The Pilgrimage of Peter Matthiessen (Pantheon). We talk about his youthful introduction to Peter Matthiessen via The Snow Leopard, how this project grew beyond his (& his publisher's) original concept, the health risks of following PM's trek through Nepal to the Crystal Monastery and the fleetingness of his time there, and which of PM's many hyphens he focuses on (novelist-naturalist-Zen roshi). We get into Matthiessen's journey into American Zen, the problematic nature of race and gender in PM's life and work, PM's fixation on Bigfoot and how that shifted to the notional, the Paris Review/CIA connection that everyone asks about, and how Matthiessen's widow came to trust Lance with the project. We also discuss his fave of Matthiessen's novels, the financial challenges of long-term writing projects (this one took eight years), getting over self-doubt and learning from his previous biography of Tommy Nutter, enjoying the research-hunt of biography more than the writing, what his literary upbringing in Australia was like, whether he came to like or despite Matthiessen, and more!

Let the Wild Gods Rise.  Easy to say and harder to do - but if you were offered a portal, a way to step into the other-worlds, to reconnect with all that we have been and could be, would you take it? If you're listening to this, you are likely steeped in the mechanical world of our culture - but it doesn't have to be like this.  The other worlds are alive, present…wild—and just within reach. All we need are doorways, places where the veils between the worlds grow thinner and then route maps to take us to—and through—them. There are many of these: some of us have places where we go to sit, day after week after month after year; places we walk where the lapwings fly or the toads grumble or the lichens coat the rocks. Some of us dance, or sing, or hold spaces for each other to find the endless re-creation of the web in the inter-becoming moment, the dependent co-arising of the magic of life. Many of us go to books and it's one of these we're visiting today: Wild Folk by Jackie Morris and Tamsin Abbott is a work of art, a delight on so many levels—and it's explicitly a portal to the wild at the heart of the world. I'm fairly sure I don't need to introduce these two amazing women, but just in case: Jackie Morris is an artist, illustrator and wordsmith. Alone or in collaboration has written & illustrated over forty books, including classics such as The Snow Leopard, Song of the Golden Hare, and East of the Sun, West of the Moon. More recently, she and Robert Macfarlane co-created The Lost Words, and The Lost Spells, and I'm delighted to say they are working on new book on birds, which is due to come out soon.Tamsin Abbott has been creating painted stained-glass panels for over twenty years. Herwork is influenced by this ancient land and how we are connected to it: the hills, the woods, the plants, birds and animals that live alongside us and the world of myths and fairytales that we have spun around it. She has appeared on BBC Countryfile, appeared in many of this country's foremost magazines and exhibited in our leading galleries. As you'll hear, Jackie and Tamsin had been friends for many years before the seed of Wild Folk finally took root at a residency in the wilds of Exmoor. The result is a work of pure magic.  Come along with us and let's explore the what and the how and the where and the who of this astonishing act of co-creation.

In a recent episode, host Josh Elledge interviewed Deepti Srivastava, Founder and CEO of Snow Leopard AI, to discuss how enterprises can leverage AI agents effectively while ensuring access to accurate, actionable data. Deepti shares practical guidance for integrating AI, overcoming technical challenges, and maximizing the value of AI-driven workflowsThe Role of Real-Time Data in AI Agent SuccessAI agents are transforming how businesses operate, but their effectiveness hinges on real-time, accurate data. Deepti explains that AI is only as strong as the data it consumes, and fragmented or outdated data can lead to poor outcomes. Enterprises face challenges integrating AI into existing infrastructures, bridging gaps between AI teams and operational systems, and maintaining data security and freshness.Snow Leopard AI provides a platform that abstracts these infrastructure complexities, allowing AI teams to focus on business logic instead of plumbing. By connecting AI agents directly to operational data sources—ranging from SQL databases to SaaS APIs—companies can automate workflows, improve decision-making, and unlock insights that were previously siloed.For organizations beginning their AI journey, Deepti recommends starting with high-impact, low-risk use cases such as customer support, internal knowledge agents, or finance operations. Once proven, the deployment can expand to more complex workflows, leveraging both structured and unstructured data to maximize AI's value.About Deepti SrivastavaDeepti Srivastava is the Founder and CEO of Snow Leopard AI and a seasoned expert in AI infrastructure.

Thanks for Preston and Pranav for suggesting this week's topics! Further reading: DNA has revealed the origin of this giant ‘mystery' gecko Snow Leopards Dispersed Out of Tibetan Plateau Multiple Times, Researchers Say Conquest of Asia and Europe by snow leopards during the last Ice Ages uncovered The crested gecko AKA the eyelash gecko: The fluffy snow leopard: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we have a couple of suggestions from Preston and one from Pranav! This is the first episode I've recorded in my new apartment, so let's make it a good one. First, Preston wanted to learn more about the crested gecko, mainly because he has a pet crested gecko named George Washington. That is one of the best gecko names ever! The crested gecko is also called the eyelash gecko. We've talked about it a few times, but not recently at all. It's native to a collection of remote Pacific islands called New Caledonia, where it spends most of its time in trees, eating insects and other small animals, but also fruit, nectar, and lots of other food. It's an omnivore and nocturnal, and can grow more than 10 inches long, or 25 cm. It gets its names from the tiny spines above its eyes that look like eyelashes, and more spines in two rows down its back, like a tiny dragon. It can be brown, reddish, orange, yellow, or gray, with various colored spots, which has made it a popular pet. These days all pet crested geckos were bred in captivity, since it's now protected in the wild. The crested gecko has tiny claws on its toes, which is unusual since most geckos don't have claws. It can drop its tail like other geckos if a predator is after it, but the tail doesn't grow back. Since its tail is prehensile and helps it climb around in trees, you'd think the gecko would have trouble climbing after it loses its tail, but it doesn't. Maybe that's because in addition to claws, like other geckos it has basically microscopic hairlike structures on its toes that allow it to climb smooth surfaces like windows and walls and the trunks of smooth trees. It can also jump long distances to get to a new branch. The crested gecko was discovered by science in 1866, but wasn't seen after that in so long that people thought it was extinct. Then in 1994, a German herpetologist out looking for specimens after a tropical storm found a single crested gecko. It turns out that the geckos had been fine all along, but because they're nocturnal and mostly live in trees, scientists just hadn't spotted any. While we're talking about geckos, Pranav requested that we revisit Delcourt's giant gecko with some updated information. We did mention the new findings back in episode 389, but it's really interesting so let's go over it again. Way back in episode 20 we talked about Delcourt's giant gecko, which is only known from a single museum specimen donated in the 19th century. In 1979 a herpetologist named Alain Delcourt, working in the Marseilles Natural History Museum in France, noticed a big taxidermied lizard in storage and wondered what it was. It wasn't labeled and he didn't recognize it, surprising since it was the biggest gecko he'd ever seen—two feet long, or about 60 cm. He sent photos to several reptile experts and they didn't know what it was either. Finally the specimen was examined and in 1986 it was described as a new species. No one knew anything about the stuffed specimen, including where it was caught. At first researchers thought it might be from New Caledonia since a lot of the museum's other specimens were collected from the Pacific Islands. None of the specimens donated between 1833 and 1869 had any documentation, so it seemed probable the giant gecko was donated during that time and probably collected not long before. More recently there was speculation that it was actually from New Zealand, since it matched Maori lore about a big lizard called the kawekaweau. In June of 2023,

In 1954, a young David Attenborough made his début as the star of a new nature show called “Zoo Quest.” The docuseries, which ran for nearly a decade on the BBC, was a sensation that set Attenborough down the path of his life's work: exposing viewers to our planet's most miraculous creatures and landscapes from the comfort of their living rooms. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace Attenborough's filmography from “Zoo Quest” to his program, “Mammals,” a six-part series on BBC America narrated by the now- ninety-eight-year-old presenter. In the seventy years since “Zoo Quest” first aired, the genre it helped create has had to reckon with the effects of the climate crisis—and to figure out how to address such hot-button issues onscreen. By highlighting conservation efforts that have been successful, the best of these programs affirm our continued agency in the planet's future. “One thing I got from ‘Mammals' was not pure doom,” Schwartz says. “There are some options here. We have choices to make.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Mammals” (2024)“Zoo Quest” (1954-63)“Are We Changing Planet Earth?” (2006)“The Snow Leopard,” by Peter Matthiessen“My Octopus Teacher” (2020)“Life on Our Planet” (2023)“I Like to Get High at Night and Think About Whales,” by Samantha IrbyNew episodes drop every Thursday.
