🦬 The Wild East Returns: Elk, Bison, Wolves and the Fight to Make Room 🐺🌲

🦬 Before highways, subdivisions and shopping centers, the American East belonged to giants. Bison moved through Indiana and Illinois. Elk ranged across Appalachia. Wolves and cougars lived in forests we now consider entirely human territory. Then they disappeared. Now, some are returning. 🌲 But recovery gets complicated when an elk crosses a highway, a bison needs a fence or a wolf appears near someone's home. Environmental writer Andrew Moore joins me to discuss his fascinating new book, The Beasts of the East: The Fall and Rise of America's Eastern Wilderness. 🎙️ How much land, control and comfort are we willing to give up to make room for something truly wild?
