Podcasts about sumatran rhinos

In this episode of the Animals To The Max Podcast, I get an EXCLUSIVE interview with the International Rhino Foundation about the rare birth of a Sumatran Rhino! I speak with Nina Fascione, the executive director about the exciting news. There are fewer than 80 Sumatran Rhinos left on the planet, so this is a milestone birth for a species on the brink of extinction. Learn all about Sumatran Rhinos and why they are difficult to breed under human care.

With less than 80 animals left in the world, the Sumatran Rhino is one of the world's most endangered rhino species. Only the Javan Rhino with estimates of maybe 60 animals is as close to extinction. Both Angie and Chris were very fortunate to meet up close one the these highly endangered mammals back in 2011. Harapan, one of 3 Sumatran Rhinos born at the Cincinnati Zoo, was held at a conservation center in Florida, and was returned to Sumatra in 2015 to help his species. While this species is on the brink of extinction, many are working hard to save what animals remain. We highlighted this in our interview of Dr. Barney Long (Episode 55) and his efforts to bring some of the Sumatran Rhinos under human care for a focused breeding program.  We discuss this and many more aspects of how scientists around the world are fighting for these animals. These are an incredibly unique and ancient species of rhinoceros and well worth a listen.  For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation.

Indah is a conservationist, scientist, project leader and current postgrad student at the University of Exeter. We talked about her work with sumatran rhinos, the importance of data collection surveys, how vital community engagement is in conservation, and breaking down the barriers to women becoming scientists.

In episode 5 of Zoology Ramblings we split our podcast into 3 parts with breaks in between each section to make it easier for you guys, our listeners, in case you don't want to listen to the full hour all at once. Part one ends at 00:15:28, part 2 starts at 00:15:41 and ends at 00:42:18, part 3 starts at 00:42:31 and ends at 00:54:52:10. In part 1 (animals of the week) we talk about the hairy mexican dwarf porcupine (I know right, epic name!), a new species of beaked whale in Japan. In part 2 (global conservation topics) we talk about the wildlifes in the Ambue, Ari, Bolivia and the efforts on the ground to try and tackle the inferno and the plight of the critically endangered Sumatran rhino. In part 3 (our local UK conservation topic) we talk about beavers and their reintroduction to the UK, both legally and illegally (yes, there is such a thing as illegal beavers). Hope you enjoy our latest ramble!

Three Stories:1. Oil spill off the coast of Mauritius Island, after an oil tanker crashed into a coral reef. 2. Two beluga whales were just released from captivity into an open ocean sea-pen off the southern coast of Iceland. 3. Palm oil producer allocates a wildlife sanctuary for Sumatran Rhinos, a critically endangered species with only 30 - 80 organisms left in the wild.

Sumatran Rhinos are small, hairy, and vocal. We can relate. But let's get depressing, these things are dying, and it's all our fault.

This week we're travelling to a place that is different for all of us, but one we all hold close to our hearts: Home.Listen to the heart-warming story of a keeper in Ohio who built an unbreakable bond with a baby Sumatran rhino named Harapan. Sumatran Rhinos are facing extinction and Harapan was the last remaining in the Western Hemisphere, kept in captivity at Cincinnati Zoo. To give the species the best chance of survival in the wild, Harapan was to fly across the world and return to the home of his ancestors – Sumatra, Indonesia. We also visit the man who keeps a flock of homing pigeons in his back garden in London and two young women who tracked down the symbol of their heritage – the American Bison of Banff National Park.Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an episode and let us know what you thought of this week's episode on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcearth/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcearth/Twitter: https://twitter.com/bbcearth See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Trump Climate Change Report / Saving The Sumatran Rhino / Climate Dangers of Palm Oil / BirdNote®: Long-Lived Wisdom, The Albatross / Beyond The Headlines / New England's Stone Walls The latest National Climate Assessment brings the most serious warning yet about present and future climate impacts in the U.S. But the Trump Administration is downplaying the findings of its own agencies as it continues to pursue rollbacks of climate protection regulations. Also, with fewer than 80 Sumatran Rhinos left in the wild, a new captive breeding program is hoping to learn from the mistakes of past attempts to bolster the species' numbers. They've plummeted in large part because of habitat loss, as a booming palm oil industry in Indonesia rapidly converts tropical forest into vast monocultures. And the destruction of these tropical peatlands is also causing a sharp uptick in carbon emissions. The climate consequences of palm oil and more, in this installment of Living on Earth from PRI.

Researchers estimate that fewer than 100 Sumatran Rhinos remain in the wild, distributed among three wild populations in Sumatra. Have we reached the point of no return? We catch up with Dr. John Payne, Executive Director of the Bornean Rhino Alliance (BORA) to find out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On episode seven of the Newscast we talk with Mongabay contributing editor for Southeast Asia Isabel Esterman, who is based in Cairo, Egypt, about the plight of Asian rhinos. Potential new evidence recently emerged that suggests there might be some undiscovered wild Sumatran rhinos in Malaysia, where they were declared extinct in the wild last year — though not everyone is convinced the new evidence is all that compelling. We also speak with Richard Bowden, a professor of environmental science at Allegheny College, to answer a question from a Mongabay reader and geography student at the University of Hamburg in Germany, who wrote in to ask: “What are the effects of climate change on phenology, primary production, carbon sequestration, and biotic interactions?” If you’ve got a question about environmental science and conservation, we’d be happy to answer it for you! Just drop us a line at submissions@mongabay.com and we’ll answer your question in a future episode of the Mongabay Newscast.
