Wolf Biologist On Ending Federal Protections

IMG_7794.JPG

In this episode, I speak to wolf biologist and author of the new book, Restoring Balance: What Wolves Tell Us About Our Relationship With Nature, John Vucetich. John has been studying wolves and the predator/prey relationship with moose in Isle Royale for 25 years. With recent efforts to end protections for the Gray Wolf in the lower 48, John goes into why the science and data doesn’t back wolf hunting. We also discuss how to have a civil discussion with someone who is anti-wolf and why the Biden administration isn’t stepping in to protect the Gray Wolf.

Anthropomorphism And How It Impacts Our Understanding Of Animals

IMG_2969.JPG

In this episode, I have a discussion with wildlife educator, Tijana Selak about anthropomorphism and how it impacts our understanding of animals. We discuss the bad (how anthropomorphizing can negatively influence wildlife research and rehab, how its use through social media can be dangerous, and how it can hurt the work that accredited zoos are trying to do), and the good (how it builds empathy towards animals, and can benefit conservation efforts), as well as exploring examples in our everyday lives, how to properly interpret what animals are feeling or communicating, and how misinterpreting behavior can lead to dangerous conclusions.
