    Toad-ly Awesome: Bad Bunny's Halftime Show & the Puerto Rican Crested Toad

    Join us as Coral and Natalie explore how Bad Bunny united the Americas through his historic halftime performance while shining a spotlight on an unlikely cultural icon: the Puerto Rican crested toad (known as coquí guajón or sapo concho). Bad Bunny features this endangered amphibian as a recurring symbol throughout his album DtMF (Debí Tirar Más Fotos), where animated versions of the toad appear in every song, transforming a threatened species into a powerful emblem of Puerto Rican identity and resistance. In an era when both Puerto Rican culture and ecosystems face mounting threats—from climate change to colonialism—this essential conversation celebrates how art, joy, and cultural pride become acts of resistance, and how one of the world's most prominent artists is using his platform to draw attention to a species on the brink of extinction. A note from Coral and Natalie: After this episode, we'll be taking a break from our regular interview format as we focus our energy and efforts on producing an exciting short film project! Season two interviews will resume in the spring. You can find out more in the coming weeks leading up to Jane Goodall's birthday—stay tuned for the launch of our Seed and Spark crowdsourcing effort for our short film coming soon to you!   RAY OF HOPE: In a time when Puerto Rico faces ongoing struggles with colonial status, economic exploitation, climate disasters, and threats to its biodiversity, Bad Bunny's celebration of the Puerto Rican crested toad in his music and halftime performance stands as a powerful ray of hope—demonstrating that global platforms can elevate local ecosystems, that joy and resistance are intertwined, and that cultural pride is inseparable from environmental stewardship. This commitment to centering Puerto Rican identity and ecology represents hope because it shows us a pathway forward: artists using their massive platforms to spotlight endangered species, music creating emotional connections to ecosystems that desperately need protection, the recognition that resistance can be joyful and unifying rather than divisive, and a growing understanding that decolonization and ecological justice are interconnected struggles—ensuring that future generations inherit not just protected species but the cultural narratives that inspire us to fight for them.   FUN FACTS ABOUT THE PUERTO RICAN CRESTED TOAD: The Rarest Toad in Puerto Rico: The Puerto Rican crested toad (Peltophryne lemur) is one of only two toad species native to Puerto Rico and is critically endangered, found nowhere else on Earth. It was actually thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in 1966! The "Concho" Connection: Locally known as sapo concho, this toad gets its name from the bony crests on its head that form a distinctive crown-like pattern—a fitting symbol for Bad Bunny's artistic vision of Puerto Rican royalty and resilience. Underground Survivors: Unlike their famous relatives, the coquí frogs, Puerto Rican crested toads spend most of their lives underground in burrows, emerging primarily during the rainy season to breed in temporary pools. Explosive Breeders: When conditions are right, these toads engage in "explosive breeding"—thousands emerge simultaneously to breed in temporary rain pools, creating a spectacular natural event that lasts only a few nights per year. Conservation Success Story in Progress: Thanks to captive breeding programs in collaboration with zoos across the United States and Puerto Rico, over 300,000 tadpoles have been released back into the wild since the 1980s, though the species remains critically endangered.   ANXIETY TO ACTION: In an era when Puerto Rico confronts ICE raids, colonial exploitation, climate catastrophes, and the loss of its unique biodiversity, Bad Bunny's joyful resistance reminds us that protecting Puerto Rican culture and ecosystems requires more than policy alone—it demands art, music, and cultural celebration that help us recognize why these communities and species matter and inspire us to fight for their liberation and survival.   Take Action: Listen to Bad Bunny's music and pay attention to the sapo concho animations throughout the DtMF album—let art deepen your connection to endangered species and inspire you to learn more. Learn about the species in your own backyard—research the native amphibians, plants, and animals in your local ecosystem and understand what threats they face. Support Puerto Rican environmental organizations working to protect the island's unique biodiversity and combat climate change impacts. Advocate against ICE raids and for immigration justice—recognize that human rights and environmental justice are interconnected struggles, and that displacement and ecological destruction share common roots in colonialism and exploitation. Unite through joy—create spaces for celebration, music, and art that bring people together around shared values of dignity, resistance, and hope. Support captive breeding and reintroduction programs for endangered species, such as the Puerto Rican crested toad.   EPISODE INFORMATION: Listen as Coral and Natalie break down Bad Bunny's historic halftime performance and the cultural significance of centering the Puerto Rican crested toad in his artistic vision.

    Yuck: A Meditation on Joshua Trees & the Mojave Desert w/ Barret Baumgart

    Join us for the second episode of our Planet People Book Club series as we explore Yuck: The Birth & Death of the Weird & Wondrous Joshua Tree, Yucca Brevifolia by author Barret Baumgart. This contemplative work uses the iconic Joshua tree as a lens to examine our relationship with the Mojave Desert and the American West. Barret shares the personal and creative journey behind this distinctive meditation on desert landscapes, pilgrimage, and the search for meaning in places often dismissed as barren. In an era when the Mojave faces unprecedented threats from climate change and when Joshua trees themselves teeter on the edge of extinction, this essential conversation challenges us to reconsider what we seek when we venture into the desert and to recognize how literature can awaken us to the profound beauty and fragility of landscapes we thought we understood.   RAY OF HOPE: In a time when the Mojave Desert and its iconic Joshua trees face mounting pressures from climate change and human encroachment, Barret's meditation on these landscapes stands as a powerful ray of hope—demonstrating that art and literature can transform how we see and value the desert, turning what many dismiss as wasteland into a place worthy of reverence, protection, and deep contemplation. This commitment to desert storytelling represents hope because it shows us a pathway forward: writers and artists helping us see familiar landscapes with fresh eyes, literature creating emotional connections to ecosystems that desperately need our protection, the recognition that pilgrimage and seeking are woven into our relationship with wild places, and a growing understanding that the desert is not empty but full of meaning—ensuring that future generations inherit not just protected landscapes but the cultural narratives that inspire us to care for them. ANXIETY TO ACTION: In an era when Joshua trees face potential extinction and desert ecosystems are rapidly transforming under climate pressure, understanding our cultural and spiritual connections to these landscapes reminds us that protecting the Mojave requires more than science alone—it demands the stories, art, and literature that help us recognize why these places matter and inspire us to fight for their survival. Take Action:  Read books like Yuck that deepen your connection to threatened landscapes and help you see them with new eyes. Visit the Mojave Desert mindfully and experience firsthand the ecosystems described in Barret's work. Support organizations working to protect Joshua trees and desert habitats. Share desert literature and art to counter narratives that dismiss these landscapes as wastelands. Reflect on your own pilgrimages and what you seek when you venture into wild places. Engage with local book clubs or reading groups focused on environmental literature. Advocate for climate action that protects the ecosystems you've come to love through literature. Recognize that cultural connection to place is a powerful force for conservation.   GUEST & BOOK INFORMATION: Yuck by Barret Baumgart: Purchase on website here  Follow Barret: You can follow him on Instagram here    PLANET PEOPLE SOCIAL MEDIA:  Follow Planet People on Instagram: @planet.people.pod Subscribe to us on YouTube: @PlanetPeoplePodcast

    JAN 28

    The Journey of Water: 112 Mile Hike Through the Desert Basin of Las Vegas Valley w/ Alex Harper

    Join us as we journey along the Colorado River with Alex Harper, a naturalist, wildlife conservationist, bird photographer, and guide with Red Rocks Audubon, whose recent survey expedition documents one of the American West's most urgent environmental crises. Alex shares what it means to witness the dramatic transformation of a river system that sustains millions of people and countless species—from disappearing wetlands and struggling bird populations to the stark reality of a watershed pushed to its limits by climate change, overuse, and outdated water policy. In an era when the Colorado River's reservoirs have reached historic lows and entire ecosystems hang in the balance, this essential conversation challenges us to confront the water crisis unfolding across the Southwest and to recognize how conservation education and documentary storytelling can inspire the collective action needed to secure water for both people and wildlife in an uncertain future. RAY OF HOPE: In a time when the Colorado River faces unprecedented challenges from climate change and overallocation, threatening the birds, wildlife, and communities that depend on it, Alex's dedication to documenting the river's condition and educating the next generation of naturalists stands as a powerful ray of hope—demonstrating that bearing witness to environmental change and sharing those stories can awaken the awareness and action needed to restore balance to our most critical watersheds. This commitment to river advocacy and naturalist education represents hope because it shows us a pathway forward: naturalists using photography and documentary filmmaking to make invisible crises visible, educational programs and no cultivating deep ecological understanding in communities throughout the Southwest, birders and wildlife advocates connecting water conservation to the species they love, and a growing recognition that the health of our rivers reflects the health of our relationship with the natural world—ensuring that future generations inherit both the knowledge and the will to protect these lifeline ecosystems. ANXIETY TO ACTION: In an era when the Colorado River's flow has diminished dramatically and climate projections suggest even drier years ahead, understanding the connection between water scarcity and ecosystem collapse reminds us that every conservation choice we make—from reducing personal water use to supporting river restoration—represents a commitment to the millions of people, birds, and wildlife that depend on this irreplaceable river system for survival.

    JAN 21

    42. Mojave Desert Land Trust: Protecting Rare Plants, Lands & Animals in the Mojave Desert w/ Kelly Herbinson & Patrick Emblidge

    Join us as we venture into the Mojave Desert with Kelly Herbinson, Executive Director of Mojave Desert Land Trust, and Patrick Emblidge, Plant Conservation Program Manager, whose groundbreaking conservation work reveals the urgent need to protect one of North America's most iconic and misunderstood ecosystems. Kelly and Patrick share what it means to safeguard the desert's irreplaceable biodiversity from the iconic Joshua tree facing climate-driven extinction to the thousands of acres permanently protected through conservation easements that preserve rare plants and vulnerable desert species. In an era when deserts are dismissed as barren wastelands even as they face unprecedented threats from climate change and development, this essential conversation challenges us to recognize the Mojave as a vibrant, interconnected ecosystem worthy of fierce protection and to understand how strategic land conservation can become a powerful tool for ensuring these landscapes endure for generations to come.   RAY OF HOPE: In a time when climate change threatens the Joshua tree with extinction and development pressures fragment critical desert habitat, Kelly and Patrick's dedication to protecting Mojave ecosystems through conservation easements, land acquisition, and seed banking stands as a powerful ray of hope by demonstrating that science-driven action and community engagement can permanently safeguard thousands of acres and the rare species that depend on them. This commitment to desert conservation represents hope because it shows us a way forward: land trusts working to permanently protect critical habitat through conservation easements before it's lost, thousands of acres preserved that provide refuge for rare plants and desert wildlife, seed banks preserving genetic diversity for future restoration, native plant sales connecting communities to desert biodiversity, and a growing recognition that desert ecosystems are not wastelands but thriving communities of life, truly ensuring that the Mojave's iconic species have a fighting chance against the escalating threats of our changing climate.   ANXIETY TO ACTION: In an era when climate change is rapidly reshaping desert ecosystems and development pressures threaten to destroy irreplaceable habitat, understanding the urgency of Mojave Desert conservation reminds us that every acre protected through conservation easements, every seed preserved, and every native plant cultivated represents a lifeline for species that have survived in these harsh landscapes for millennia—and that our choices today will determine whether future generations inherit a living desert or a memory of one.   Take Action: Support organizations like Mojave Desert Land Trust that permanently protect critical habitat through conservation easements and land acquisition.  Attend MDLT's annual native plant sale to support desert biodiversity in your own yard.  Practice responsible recreation by staying on designated trails and roads to protect fragile desert plants.  Plant native desert species if you live in arid regions to support local biodiversity and rare species.  Reduce your carbon footprint to slow the climate change threatening Joshua trees and other desert species.  Contact your representatives to support public land protection and conservation easement programs.  Share the importance of desert conservation to counter the "wasteland" narrative.  Learn about conservation easements and how they protect landscapes in perpetuity.   GUEST SOCIAL MEDIA & RESOURCES: Mojave Desert Land Trust: @mojavedesertlandtrust Learn more: www.mdlt.org   PLANET PEOPLE SOCIAL MEDIA: Follow Planet People on Instagram: @planet.people.pod Subscribe to us on YouTube: @PlanetPeoplePodcast

  5. 41. Jaguars vs. The Wall: The Fight for Wildlife Borderlands, Connectivity, and Conservation w/ Jack Humphrey

    JAN 14

    41. Jaguars vs. The Wall: The Fight for Wildlife Borderlands, Connectivity, and Conservation w/ Jack Humphrey

    In this urgent discussion, we interview Jack Humphrey from The Rewilding Institute to explore what rewilding truly means—and why it's under unprecedented threat right now. As the Trump administration dynamites through Arizona's most critical jaguar habitat to construct border walls, we examine what happens when we sever the very corridors that wildlife has traveled for millennia. The Rewilding Institute was founded on a radical idea: that nature needs more than just protection. It needs restoration, connection, and room to breathe. Their vision is bold—gray wolves and grizzly bears with connected habitat from Mexico to Alaska, pumas reclaiming their homelands East and West, salmon swimming freely up our continent's rivers, and oceans teeming with whales and sharks. But corridors only work if they stay open. Right now, in places like the San Rafael Valley, the Huachuca Mountains, and Sycamore Canyon, explosives are blasting apart landscapes that federal scientists have identified as essential for jaguar recovery in the United States. These aren't empty wastelands—they're the last remaining pathways connecting jaguars in Arizona to breeding populations in Mexico. Just last month, a new jaguar called Cinco was photographed in these mountains, the fifth wild cat documented since 2011, proof that these magnificent animals are still trying to come home. The administration has waived more than 40 environmental laws—including the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Wilderness Act—to fast-track construction of double-layered steel walls, industrial floodlights, and surveillance infrastructure across hundreds of miles of protected habitat. This isn't just about jaguars. It's about ocelots, black bears, Mexican gray wolves, pronghorn, and hundreds of species of migratory birds and butterflies that depend on these cross-border ecosystems. Join us for this critical conversation about what's at stake, what rewilding means in practice, and why the fight for connected landscapes is about so much more than any single species. Because when we wall off the wild, we don't just lose jaguars—we lose the possibility of a wilder, more resilient future.   ABOUT THE REWILDING INSTITUTE: The Rewilding Institute (TRI) explores and shares tactics and strategies to advance continental-scale conservation and restoration in North America and beyond. They focus on the need for large carnivores and protected wildways for their movement, offering a bold, scientifically credible, practically achievable, and hopeful vision for the future of wild nature and human civilization on planet Earth. Rewilding isn't about going backward—it's about creating pathways forward for the wild species and ecosystems that have been pushed to the margins. Learn more at The Rewilding Institute website.   RAY OF HOPE: Despite the devastating assault on Arizona's borderlands, Cinco's recent appearance proves that jaguars are still fighting to come home. Wildlife doesn't give up—and neither can we. Rewilding reminds us that nature is remarkably resilient when given the chance. From wolf recovery in Yellowstone to beaver reintroduction across North America, we've seen how quickly ecosystems can heal when we restore apex predators and protect corridors. The fight for connected landscapes is gaining momentum. Scientists understand connectivity better than ever. Communities across North America are championing wildlife corridors, from highway overpasses to ranch-led conservation efforts. Indigenous land management practices are being recognized as essential to rewilding success. Every protected wildway, every restored river, every lawsuit against illegal border wall construction is a victory for the future. This isn't just about stopping destruction—it's about building a wilder tomorrow. When we protect jaguar corridors, we protect entire ecosystems. When we advocate for connected habitat, we're choosing resilience over fragmentation. The vision is achievable: a continent where wild animals can move freely, where ecosystems function fully, where nature has room to breathe. That future is worth fighting for.   ANXIETY TO ACTION: Speak Up for Borderlands Wildlife: Contact your representatives about protecting critical habitat in Arizona's borderlands. Demand accountability for environmental law waivers and support legislation that prioritizes wildlife corridor protection. Support Rewilding Organizations: Donate to or volunteer with groups working on continental-scale conservation, jaguar recovery, and wildlife corridor protection. Organizations need sustained support to fight ongoing threats.   Take Action: Learn about The Rewilding Institute's work and vision Follow jaguar recovery efforts and borderlands conservation news Support organizations fighting border wall construction in critical habitat Educate others about the importance of wildlife corridors and connectivity Advocate for policies that prioritize landscape-scale conservation   CONNECT WITH JACK HUMPHREY: The Rewilding Institute - The Rewilding Institute website.   PLANET PEOPLE SOCIAL MEDIA:  Follow Planet People on Instagram: @planet.people.pod Subscribe to us on YouTube: @PlanetPeoplePodcast

  6. 40. The Enduring Wild, and Forgotten Lands Project w/ Josh Jackson

    JAN 7

    40. The Enduring Wild, and Forgotten Lands Project w/ Josh Jackson

    In this discussion, we interview Josh Jackson, author of The Enduring Wild and creator of the Forgotten Lands project, which documents and advocates for Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands across the American West. Through his writing and photography, Josh has become a leading voice in drawing attention to these vast, often-overlooked landscapes, which represent our largest—and most vulnerable—public land holdings. BLM lands differ significantly from national parks and monuments, lacking the same level of protection and public awareness despite comprising millions of acres of critical habitat and stunning wilderness. Through his travels across California's deserts, particularly the Mojave and the Eastern Sierra Nevada, Josh discovered landscapes of remarkable beauty and ecological significance that were hiding in plain sight. From the otherworldly Trona Pinnacles to the threatened Conglomerate Mesa in the Owens Valley, these "forgotten lands" face mounting challenges from mining interests, development pressures, and shifting political climates. In our conversation, Josh shares personal stories of exploring these desert landscapes with his children, explains how everyday people can access and advocate for BLM lands, and discusses current threats, such as the proposed mining at Conglomerate Mesa. He also reflects on recent victories, including pushback against the "Big Beautiful Bill," and offers hope for the future of public lands protection through education, sustainable recreation, and grassroots advocacy. Join us for this inspiring discussion about America's enduring wild places and why these forgotten landscapes deserve our attention, appreciation, and protection!   BOOK SUMMARY: The Enduring Wild chronicles Josh Jackson's journey across America's BLM territories, revealing the hidden majesty of landscapes that exist outside the famous national park system. Through compelling narrative and stunning photography, the book documents the ecological richness and cultural significance of these "forgotten lands" while exposing the unique threats they face from extractive industries and inadequate protections. Jackson weaves together personal stories, natural history, and urgent advocacy to argue that these vast public lands represent both our greatest conservation challenge and opportunity. The book serves as both a love letter to overlooked wilderness and a call to action for Americans to recognize and protect the enduring wild places that belong to us all. Buy the book here.   RAY OF HOPE: While threats to public lands can feel overwhelming, there's something powerful happening: ordinary people are falling in love with "forgotten" places. BLM lands, once ignored in favor of famous national parks, are finding their champions—writers, photographers, families, and local communities who recognize that protection doesn't require a famous name, just people who care. Recent advocacy victories demonstrate that public engagement is an effective strategy. When communities rallied against harmful legislation such as the "Big Beautiful Bill," their voices made a difference. Grassroots organizations are successfully protecting threatened areas, such as Conglomerate Mesa, by educating the public about what's at stake. The desert isn't barren—it's full of life, stories, and people ready to defend it. The beautiful truth? These lands belong to all of us. You don't need special credentials to explore, photograph, or speak up for them. Every hike, every shared photo, every letter to a representative adds to a growing movement recognizing that our wildest places aren't just worth visiting—they're worth fighting for.   ANXIETY TO ACTION: Practice Sustainable Recreation: Follow "Leave No Trace" principles, stay on designated trails, and educate others about protecting sensitive desert ecosystems while enjoying them responsibly. Raise Your Voice: Contact your representatives about public lands protection. Support organizations working to defend BLM lands. Provide public comments when lands face development threats. Democracy works when citizens participate.   Take Action: Explore your local BLM lands.  Join the USAL project and take a field trip with Josh Jackson Visit the BLM website to find public lands near you.  Take a hike, bring a camera, and share what you discover.  Purchase The Enduring Wild and join the Planet People book club.

    In this special holiday episode, hosts Natalie and Coral reflect on the season of giving and what it means to give sustainably. As we approach the end of the year, they discuss the importance of shopping small, supporting local businesses, and giving back to the incredible organizations and guests who have shared their knowledge and passion throughout the season. This Christmas episode is a joyous reminder that sustainable giving goes beyond material gifts; it's about supporting the communities, creators, and changemakers who are working to build a better world. Natalie and Coral emphasize the importance of shopping from small businesses and local artisans this holiday season, as these purchases directly support individuals and families while minimizing environmental impact. The hosts also highlight how listeners can give back to the show itself: following the organizations and experts featured in episodes, supporting their work, and spreading the word about Planet People. Liking, sharing, and subscribing might seem like small actions, but they make a huge difference in amplifying the voices of those doing critical environmental work.   RAY OF HOPE: The most meaningful gifts don't always come wrapped in paper. This holiday season, we're witnessing a beautiful shift in how people approach giving, prioritizing experiences over possessions, supporting small makers over large corporations, and investing in causes that truly matter. When you shop small, you're not just buying a product; you're supporting someone's dream, keeping money in your local community, and often choosing items made with more care for both people and planet. The ripple effect of these choices extends far beyond the holidays. Every small business supported, every podcast shared, every organization amplified—these are acts of community building that sustain the people doing the hard work of creating change. The beauty is in the simplicity: your everyday choices to support, share, and show up for the causes and people you believe in can have a profound impact.   ANXIETY TO ACTION: Make your holiday shopping count - Create a list of small businesses, local artisans, and mission-driven companies to support this season.
