Episode notes
This week’s episode is a little different from our usual format, because it is a little more human-oriented, but the topics we discuss are crucial to conservation and ecology and our own relationships as humans to the environments we live in. Our guest is a writer and comedian whose work on projects like Paw Patrol and Spirit Rangers you might already familiar with, and we discuss Native representation in media, impacts of colonialism on ecosystems throughout North America and how indigenous practices are helping to heal them, what the landback movement means and how it’s restoring populations of some of our most iconic keystone species, how cultural values can influence our perceptions of wildlife, and more.

This podcast is made with families in mind and contains no profanity or graphic language.
