The Arctic Wildlife Refuge is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth.  It's home to a wide range of wildlife, including iconic species such as polar bears, caribou, Arctic foxes, muskoxen, hundreds of migratory birds, and many others.  It also supports diverse habitats, from coastal lagoons and wetlands to alpine tundra and boreal forests. Sound ecologist Martyn Stewart is our guide through this acoustic wonderland. He shares his profound experiences from the heart of this awe-inspiring region, providing not just a rare glimpse into its untamed beauty but also an urgent narrative on the environmental and political challenges it faces. His stories bring the Arctic to life, from his first moments of isolation to his encounters with its diverse inhabitants, and the troubling reality of oil drilling's looming threat over this sanctuary.Venture with us into the realm of the Arctic tern's astonishing migration and stand witness to the caribou's ancient river crossings, as Martyn showcases the critical role the refuge plays in the lives of these wandering species. The silence that fills the space left by migrating birds is also a poignant reminder of the fragility of this ecosystem. With each anecdote, we're reminded of the Arctic's vibrant pulse and the importance of safeguarding its unique soundscape, a repository of our planet's rich biodiversity.As the episode draws to a close, we're prompted to consider the legacy we leave for future generations. The Arctic is not merely a distant, icy expanse—it's an integral part of our collective home, demanding our respect and protection. By joining us on this auditory adventure, we hope to foster a deep connection with the natural world, ensuring that the serenity and joy of the wild remain an enduring presence in our lives. Listen and let your heart be stirred by the call of the wild.www.thelisteningplanet.com

Marcia Franklin talks with four-term Idaho Governor Cecil D. Andrus and one of his former press secretaries, Chris Carlson. Carlson has written a book about his experiences working for the governor entitled Idaho's Greatest Governor. The two discuss Andrus' personal and political philosophies, as well as what they consider the highlights of his career. The governor also weighs in on current political issues, such as the partisanship in Congress, President Obama's performance, the Occupy movement, wilderness designation and salmon recovery. Cecil Andrus, a Democrat, began his political career in 1960 as a state senator from Orofino, ID. After three terms in the statehouse, he lost his first election for governor in 1966, but won an unprecedented four terms in 1970, 1974, 1986 and 1990, a record which still stands. From 1977 to 1981, Andrus served as Secretary of the Interior under President Jimmy Carter, the first Idahoan to serve in a presidential cabinet. In that position, he was known for helping pass the Alaska Lands Act, which set aside more than 100 million acres of land in that state as wilderness, including the Arctic national Wildlife Refuge. In 1995, Andrus founded the Andrus Center for Public Policy at Boise State University. A Kellogg native and former reporter, Chris Carlson served as Andrus' press secretary for more than eight years, from 1972 to the end of Andrus' tenure at the Department of Interior. He served on the Northwest Power and Conservation Council and as government affairs director for Kaiser Aluminum. Andrus and Carlson also worked together at Gallatin Public Affairs, a research and lobbying group of which Carlson is a co-founder. He is retired and lives in north Idaho.

Last month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service held a ceremony to celebrate new visitor activities and expanded access to the Wapato Lake National Wildlife Refuge, located roughly 30 miles west of Portland near the town of Gaston. The refuge features more than 800 acres of wetlands and wildlife habitat for animals such as tundra swans, pintail ducks and other migrating waterfowl that visitors can see this time of year while walking along a recently opened, 2.6-mile trail on top of a levee partially surrounding the lake. While the refuge is open year-round, public access is restricted in December and January to waterfowl hunting.For generations, the Indigenous Tualatin Kalapuya people depended on Wapato Lake for cultural and nutritional sustenance before they were forcibly relocated in the mid-1800s and the land turned over to farming. Since the establishment of the refuge in 2013, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been partnering with members of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and other organizations to plant edible wapato tubers along the lake, restore wetlands and remove invasive species such as reed canary grass. Rebecca Gómez Chuck is the manager of the Wapato Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. She joins us to talk about what visitors can expect to see and explore at Wapato Lake.

Story: In this episode, we travel to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, where the refuge is losing ground to climate change and rising sea levels. Through interviews with experts—including Joseph Gordon, who directs Pew's work on coastal marine life in the U.S.; Marcia Pradines Long, manager of Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge; Kristin Thomasgard,  program director with the Department of Defense; Julie M. Schablitsky, chief archaeologist at the Maryland Department of Transportation; and Kate Larson, a historian and author—we explore the threats facing this refuge because of the changing climate, and the path ahead for its environmental, cultural, and economic future.

About a half-hour west of Bozeman, Madison Buffalo Jump State Park offers a unique combination of hiking and history. The park is perched on a bluff overlooking the Madison RIver and Tobacco Root Mountains, marking the place where numerous Indigenous tribes harvested bison by driving them off the cliffs. Interpretive displays are scattered across the park, and sharp-eyed hikers can spot ancient tipi rings on the ground. Remember, please don't touch! Winter is a great time to visit the park if you'd like it all to yourself, since the trails are usually snow-free. Photo by Alison Kreiss
