The Will to Change with Stephen Capra

Our Wild World

While much of the world of conservation today is focused on hot-spots and mega fauna elsewhere around the world, we are forgetting that the United States of America is losing it’s biodiversity and the wild lands that hold much of it: Our Federal public lands. My guest today, Stephen Capra of Bold Visions Conservation and I discuss the degradation of our US conservation movements, which have been under siege since the early 50s, as political agendas consistently tear away the very fabric that keep our wild spaces viable and connected via protected areas, national parks, monuments and corridors. By giving away our public lands to special interests that are diametrically opposed to protecting wilderness and wildlife: corporatized Big Gas & Oil, Agriculture and Livestock. With all the conservation movements, we are still losing ground. From sea to shining sea our future, our wilderness and wildlife, and the regulations that protect them, are threatened. Earth’s wonders are in our hands.
