Saving America’s Iconic Wildlife | With Tracy Wilson & Chris Servheen

As many of you have heard, the current administration is dismantling and redefining the language originally created in the Endangered Species Act, or ESA.

These changes have rendered wildlife and wild spaces extremely vulnerable.

To speak with us about the impacts of this, we have invited back previous guests Tracy Wilson (Conservation Director of American Wild Horse Conservation) and Chris Servheen (Bear Biologist), a former national grizzly bear recovery coordinator for the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Chris and Tracy talk about the actors who are breaking down these long-held protective barriers and what we can do to help.

We recommend going back and relistening to our previous conversations with Chris Servheen, titled A Grizzly Man, and Tracy Wilson, titled Wild Horses.

Lots of love.
