Trump's plan to build 27 miles of border wall in Arizona's San Rafael Valley is aimed at keeping immigrants out, but it comes with one major complication: How are the local jaguars supposed to mate? Grace Kuhlenschmidt traveled to Arizona to see how this wall controversy is playing out on the ground

Trump wants to give part of Yosemite to a developer Yosemite, the crown jewel of the nation’s park system, should be off limits to development.

Chris Wood, president and CEO of Trout Unlimited and an original architect of the 2001 Roadless Rule, speaks with Rewilding Earth #Podcast host Jack Humphrey about the origins of the #RoadlessRule and why rescinding it is a problem for trout and salmon.

Happy Birthday to a Legend! Jack Loeffler, Ed Abbeys hiking buddy and legendary Southwest US conservation activist, author, and natural audiophile, turns 90 years old today! Here's my interview with him from a couple weeks ago: rewilding.org/episode-177-...

Wonder how many decades it will take to unfuck all of the incorrect, politically-driven harm on all government websites where they've been defaced? www.doi.gov/pressrelease...

Trump admin rolls back ESA protections by eliminating the regulatory definition of harm. Removes habitat destruction from the definition. Private interests can now drill, log, or pave over the places where endangered species live, feed, and raise their young. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Thinking about how to edge our way back into human consciousness. Conservation has taken the very back seat of the bus when it comes to daily headlines and discussion. The very thing we need to be talking about every single day is the thing humanity is largely ignoring. rewilding.org/episode-51-k...

Navigating a relentless onslaught of fast-tracked industrial projects and regulatory procedures gutted under the current administration, Cooper outlines how conservationists in #Alaska are successfully using bedrock environmental laws to keep major ecological harm at bay. buff.ly/ZblsuQS

From the underground fungal networks of the soil to redefining climate hope, this conversation reveals why imagination is a vital laboratory for our future, reminding us that we do not just live in #nature, we are nature. buff.ly/cIX92jw

Great talking to @laikenjordahl.bsky.social about how we're going to deal with this admin over Big Bend.

Homesick for a World Unknown is an extraordinarily engaging & eloquent biography of an extraordinarily effective conservation biologist. Whether you’ve been following George Schaller’s pioneering studies for half a century or have just learned of him, you will devour this book & admire its subject.

I remember hearing about a river catching on fire. It was the most shocking thing I'd ever heard. Wild how the passage of time and the stacking of ever more atrocities can all but wipe out such a core memory. Great reminder in this article by Alicia Silverstone thekindlife.com/what-is-eart...

Patagonia Action Works: This just in: the Senate is expected to vote today on a bill that paves the way for copper mining in Minnesota's Boundary Waters. Let's flood our Senators with calls: paw.attn.tv/apRNRv1giLl4

Often overlooked, definitely misunderstood, springs are the life-giving underdogs in humanity's fight for more of everything. Check out my chat with Dr. Larry Stevens of the Spring Stewardship Institute and bring springs to mind. rewilding.org/the-hidden-u...

Oak Flat is officially no longer public land nestled within the Tonto National Forest. The roughly 2,400 acres just east of Phoenix — long-considered #Apache holy land — is now private property belonging to a multinational #mining company. buff.ly/fPDhlo0 #OakFlat

Jose Gonzalez dropped his new album at exactly the right time. Already falling in love with some of the songs. Years of road trips ahead with this new soundtrack. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This really hit home this morning. If you are a conservationist, there's a good chance you need to read this. news.mongabay.com/2026/03/the-...

Exciting news! HB597, the Wildlife Corridor Grant Fund, has passed both the Virginia House and Senate and is now headed to the Governor’s desk. This landmark bill will give Virginia the tools it needs to turn wildlife corridor planning into action.

Talking with Reba brought tons of memories back from working and exploring with some of the movement's most effective, passionate, and fun women. Hope you get a chance to listen in! #rewilding #rewildingpodcast

ABSOLUTELY NOT! www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2026/03/big-...

The large-scale #rewilding efforts across Chile & Argentina stand out as compelling case studies of what’s possible when bold vision, private capital, and ecological urgency collide. For anyone in business today, it challenges us to rethink what meaningful contribution looks like.

Nearly 40 years ago, Bettina & Georg Peterseil found their way to a #bog in the middle of County Mayo, #Ireland. They discovered a place to heal both the soul and the land. They restored the flow of the water into a nearby Loch, cared for the soil, & planted more than 3,000 native plants and trees.

This is balance. This is coexistence. This is the past and the future. If humans want to continue to live on Earth, this is the kind of example we need to follow. Beautiful short film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRdp...

There will be no passing the new wall for anything larger than a mouse, unless it has wings. The jaguars, pronghorn, cougar, black bears, ocelots, javelina, deer, bobcats, badgers, and other #wildlife will all be cut off.

If we ever get them out of power, these types of people can never be elected to do this kind of damage again. Earth cannot afford this level of corruption against nature from here on out.

Someday I'll interview Paul and his team in Scotland. Until then, we have my recent chat with Paul about Alladale, wildlands philanthropy, rewilding in Scotland highlands and much more! #alladale #scotland #rewilding

In a leaked tape, a National Park Service official said Trump’s employee policies are a “reign of terror” aimed at driving NPS staff to quit. #NationalParks

From the Rewilding Earth #podcast archive: "Lessons from #Alaska – Winning the #Conservation Battles Ahead While Keeping Your Fire Alive with Brad Meiklejohn." Worth a re-listen or listen if you missed it!

It's only been one year. One.

Remote camera footage released during the last two weeks of the year showed two different endangered #ocelots roaming the mountains of Southern Arizona.

"The protection of corridors for wildlife movement has been a central tenet of rewilding since Dave Foreman coined the term." rewilding.org/corridors-in... #rewilding #flyways #birds

She also describes the 4Cs of #civil discourse in a rewilding context, a fitting way to start the New Year: Be #charitable, #curious, #conscientious, and #constructive. buff.ly/USXKxpp

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” - George Orwell, 1984

One of the big rewilding headliners in North America. @americanprairie.bsky.social I still need to visit, but at least I got to interview Daniel Kinka for the podcast. (Which made wanting to visit even worse.) rewilding.org/episode-76-a...

Look familiar? Nature always takes the back seat to lazy humans who are incapable of solving problems outside of the most remedial, disproven, destructive acts. Human political creativity is dead.

Sometimes I'll show up on a podcast, too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTXk... #rewilding

In conversation with Jack Humphrey on the Rewilding Earth Podcast... rewilding.org/episode-163-...

As leader author of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Guidelines for Rewilding, Dr. Steve Carver joins the #podcast to discuss the challenges of implementing rewilding across diverse regions and cultures.

A carnivore conservation biologist, Dave was instrumental in creating the Mexican #Wolf Recovery Program. This conversation explores the emotional impact of #wild places, the importance of public engagement, and the need for #advocacy to protect our natural heritage. buff.ly/iUzASXt

"If wild animals are not safe in Wilderness, then there is nowhere safe for them left in the world." #wilderness #grazing #sheep #publiclands www.thewildlifenews.com/2025/12/11/d...

While researchers are divided on the conclusion, the behavior shows #wolves may be smarter than we thought.

[T]he natural world is in “such a systemic crisis that we need to rethink our position in the world as human beings.” #rivers

Families in the U.S. and around the world are having fewer children as people make profoundly different decisions about their lives. The Rewilding Institute's John Davis is one of the interviewees here:

We need to stop messing with wolves! Let them disperse.
