EPISODE 116: Road Ecology with Ben Goldfarb
Added 2023-12-19 11:00:05 +0000 UTCEnd-of-year greetings, Patreoners!
In his new book, Crossings: How Road Ecology Is Shaping The Future of Our Planet, independent conservation journalist Ben Goldfarb writes about how roads and cars are wreaking havoc on nature across the globe. He reports back about the people trying to save everything from butterflies to deer to wallabies to salamanders from the destructive power of motordom. Plus, he helps us analyze a couple of egregious ads that show how humans use roads to assert our dominion over the natural world…to our own eventual detriment.
We hope you enjoy listening!

Referring to humans as ‘Road Kill’ really perked up my ears. Can’t wait to drop that into a PennDOT meeting…
