Big Picture Science - The Other Living World
(Repeat) Reason for hope is just one thing
that ecologist Carl Safina can offer. He understands why many of us turn
to nature to find solace during this stressful time. Safina studies the
challenges facing the ultimate survival of many species, but also gives a
portrait of animals from their point of view. He describes how diverse animals
such as sperm whales, bear cubs, macaws, and chickens deal with uncertainty,
and assert their quirky individuality while learning to become part of a community.
So is it possible for us to reconnect not just with humanity, but also with the
other living world?
Guest:

He is the founding president of the Safina Center, a professor at Stony Brook University, and author of many books – most recently, “Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace”
