  • Summary

  • Reporting from Earth's richest and wildest tropical landscapes, The Nature Dilemma takes you to the front line of conservation and the climate change crisis. We ask some of the most accomplished conservationists of our time and those working tirelessly to preserve and restore nature: how can we move forward? How can we rebuild our own connection to nature, ensure that the wild remains wild, and understand why doing so is in our best interest. Powered by Osa Conservation and hosted by Lucy Kleiner. Production by Dr. Andrew Whitworth and Lucy Kleiner. Artwork by Ysemay Dercon and Jack Yuen. Contact us: @osaconservation.

    Costa Rica's Bet on Humanity: The Green Nation's (successful) Blueprint for Climate Action & Marine Protection – Now.
    Jun 22 2021

    Humanity is in trouble. Does Costa Rica have the answers?

    With over 99% of their electricity already produced from renewables and more than a quarter of their land protected, we look to Costa Rica's most powerful - and successful - climate leaders for answers. Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, head of the Global Environment Facility (the largest environmental fund in the world) and Andrea Meza, Minister of Environment, walk us through the country's success story, how they got there, and what's up next for this Green (and Blue) Nation.

    A conversation on how Costa Rica shaped the Green Future ... for everyone.

    In the face of climate change, how do you save the planet? To start, you protect Earth's last wild places. Then, you bring back the keystone species that have gone missing. That is the Tompkins Conservation approach.

    Listen to "Rewilding Planet Earth" for next steps, advice, and life stories from Kris Tompkins herself, a rewilding icon, 16-year CEO of Patagonia, and co-founder of Tompkins Conservation.
