By Chris Clarke In our latest episode, we delve into the world of the desert bighorn sheep and the challenges they face in the Mojave Desert. Joining us is Dr. Christina Aiello, a renowned bighorn sheep biologist who has dedicated her career to studying these magnificent creatures. We explore the threats they encounter, the importance of their habitat, and the efforts being made to ensure their survival. But first, we announce that longtime co-host Alicia Pike has left the podcast in favor of other projects. We miss her already.
Oh, our human politics. So earnest and well intentioned and even quite correct. But in the end such disputes are all human-centered and that focus is what got us in the climate crisis we face now and the sixth extinction of millions of our fellow species. I don't say such issues are trivial or not useful but I urge advocates to decouple their advocacy or at least add to it, a concern for the. bighorn sheep and countless other creatures that grace our beautiful deserts. Human politics may come and go- we will always be at war with ourselves -but the damage we do the nonhuman world may never be repairable.
