    E97 | The ‘ Steve Irwin ’ Of Today | Part 2 | w/ Erik Molvar of Western Watersheds Project

    In This Episode- Hey there, hikertrash! In this episode we wrap up our conversation with Erik Molvar, hiker extraordinaire and champion of outdoor conservation. We continue our conversation about conservation, the American Prairie Project, we talk about grazing lands, ranches, and livestock, including the issue of the on-going cycle of disease transmission between wild and domestic sheep, and we talk about the fundamental desire of hikers to immerse ourselves into nature and why it’s important for hikers to care.  Thanks again, Erik, for taking the time to chat, share your stories, and enlighten us on conservation efforts!

    E96 | The ‘Steve Irwin’ Of Today | Part 1 | w/ Erik Molvar of Western Watersheds Project

    In This Episode- Fighting for conservation policies that you believe in (or don't believe in) is a part of your right/duty as hikers in the U.S. and abroad. I'm talking about our wild spaces, those beautiful and rugged places that we seek out for joy, solace, or even food to feed our families. This is the first part of our chat with Erik Molvar (Executive Director) of the Western Watersheds Project (WWP). We cover a lot of ground including an introduction to who Erik is, all that he has accomplished in the 10,000 miles that he’s hiked (including the books he’s written about his hikes), and his work with the WWP.  We also delve into the challenges we are facing in the fight to protect our public lands, the crossroads of traditional ecological knowledge, dominionism, and kin-centrism, and wrap on the topic of wolf conservation. Thanks, Erik, for taking the time to discuss how we are standing up for what we/you believe in, and protecting our wild spaces.
