    Ep 96 - Fight for the Rights... of Nature
    Aug 31 2026
    Much of the world takes for granted that natural resources exist to be owned and used by humans, with no thought to the consequences of these actions. The idea that nature has the right to exist free from human interference has long existed in indigenous communities, and is finally gaining wider support around the world. Quetza and Somabha from the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN) join us to discuss the rights of nature movement and the ways it is being implemented around the world. They share examples of successful rights of nature initiatives, and offer insights into how to gain support at all levels of society.

    The ocean provides invaluable ecosystem services enabling the survival of most life on Earth, regardless of whether it lives in the water or near the coast. The ocean also provides ample recreation and tourism opportunities. Alex Fogg from Destin-Fort Walton Beach (DFWB) joins us to discuss marine conservation, eco-tourism and how DFWB is merging the two to help protect local resources and the communities that rely on them. He offers real world examples of how this coastal community is adapting to a changing environment, while engaging both visitors and locals to protect and enhance local ecosystems.
