#158 | Nature Happy Hour #2: The Saga of Jaguars in the US, A New Indigenous Marine Stewardship Area, & Cicada Explosions with Brooke + Charles

Today’s episode is the second conversation in the Nature Happy Hour mini-series where I sit down with my good friend and fellow conservation scientist, Charles van Rees, PhD. In true happy hour fashion, Charles and I begin the conversation by catching up on everything that’s happened since we last sat down in October, including Rewildology’s 3rd birthday, volunteer opportunities with the show, and news from Charles’ work in nature-based solutions. Following, we dive into three conservation headlines: the saga of jaguars in the US, the first Indigenous Marine Stewardship Area in America, and the upcoming cicada population explosion. If you’d like to skip our opening banter and head straight to the top headlines, fast forward to around the 30-minute mark. Don’t worry. We won’t be offended if you do.
