Episode 2 - The Endangered Species Act with Shelby McCay (Part 1)

Welcome back to the Land Steward Podcast. This week we’re excited to dive in with our first guest host, expert in conservation education and endangered species processes, Shelby McCay, to talk about the Endangered Species Act, its legacy over the past 50 years, and what the future of endangered species conservation looks like as a new generation of leaders take the helm. We discuss the upcoming ESA 50-year Anniversary Symposium taking place in Austin, Texas in November, give a little bit of background on the original history and purpose of the ESA, and hear stories from Shelby about her experiences working with endangered species in the field so that you, the land steward, can feel equipped with a new perspective and the best information about the Endangered Species Act.
