Showing results for "The Crossing" in Biological Sciences

Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. While roads are so ubiquitous they're practically invisible to us, wild animals experience them as entirely alien forces of death and disruption. In Crossings, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb travels throughout the United States and around the world to investigate how roads have transformed our planet. A million animals are killed by cars each day in the US alone, but as the new science of road ecology shows, the harms of highways extend far beyond roadkill.

A nature-made podcast for every walk of life to enjoy, hosted by Critter Cass and Tallgrass Tony. Covering topics from backpacking and outdoor recreation, to managing prairies, we invite everyone to come cross streams with us.

For hundreds of years, people from all walks of life have reported sightings of a large hairy animal walking on TWO feet. Is it possible that there is an animal, unrecognized and unclassified by modern science, roaming the forests of North America? Please join bigfoot researcher Michael Willey as he seeks the answer to this compelling question by delving into the history of the bigfoot phenomena. Whether you are a "believer" or not, this is the Bigfoot podcast for you!

How serious are the threats to our environment? Here is one measure of the problem: if we continue to do exactly what we are doing, with no growth in the human population or the world economy, the world in the latter part of this century will be unfit to live in. Of course human activities are not holding at current levels—they are accelerating, dramatically—and so, too, is the pace of climate disruption, biotic impoverishment, and toxification.
