Mina Bakhshi, Haniya Tavasoli, and Rabia Hussain enjoyed freedoms in Afghanistan, pursuing education and work. Joining Ascend, a nonprofit teaching leadership and rock climbing, allowed them to explore their country's mountains. When the Taliban seized power in August 2021, Ascend became their only chance to escape the restrictive regime.

As Ascend women resettled globally with host families, Yosemite Search and Rescue members Merryn Venugopal and Michelle Pellette invited them to Yosemite. There, they found safe reunion, solace in the climbing community, and a vital connection to home while building new lives.

This episode explores the transition from a linear to a circular economy, emphasizing three core principles: eliminating waste and pollution, circulating products and materials, and regenerating nature. We feature BIOHM's mushroom-based construction, Susannah Crampton's regenerative wool farming in Kilkenny, Dr. Anna Birney on the challenges of systemic change, Nick Jeffries answering your questions, and a look at fashion's circular business models.

Inspired by natural kynurenine chemicals found in human eyes, Sóliome is revolutionizing sunblock. Traditional synthetic sunscreens harm marine life and persist in the environment. Sóliome's biomimetic, kynurenine-based sunscreens offer an effective, economical, and environmentally friendly alternative.

These innovative sunscreens feature large molecules that remain on the skin's surface for maximum protection. As natural products, they biodegrade quickly and pose fewer risks than synthetic alternatives, protecting both human health and the planet.

Sóliome was a participant in our 2022 Ray of Hope Prize Program. Learn more about biomimicry: biomimicry.org and asknature.org.

Male mason wasps have evolved a unique defense: using spiked genitals to mimic a female's venomous sting. Lacking true stingers, males deter predators like tree frogs by faking one with spines on

Male mason wasps have evolved a unique defense: using spiked genitals to mimic a female's venomous sting. Lacking true stingers, males deter predators like tree frogs by faking one with spines on their reproductive organs. A 2022 study found this strategy 35% effective, compared to females' 87% escape rate with real stingers.

Scientists recently discovered bats, like Tuvan throat singers and death-metal vocalists, produce sound using ventricular folds instead of vocal cords. A Danish biologist found bats use these for low-frequency calls. With their ability to also make extremely high-pitched calls, bats possess an unparalleled vocal range. The Center for Biological Diversity argues this makes them more akin to grindcore vocalists, who utilize both very low and very high frequencies.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to secure a future for all species through science, law, and creative media. Check out our video to hear biodiversity-loving grindcore artists and see brutally cute bats. Learn more at biologicaldiversity.org or email us at center@biologicaldiversity.org.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an Alaskan adventure to help save North America's impressive feathered flyers. He explores the ancient Tongass National Forest, learning how this old-growth ecosystem supports diverse wildlife, including goshawks, wolves, and salmon. The forest is also crucial for carbon sequestration, acting as a natural climate solution.

Later, Jeff visits the Alaska Raptor Center, encountering iconic bald eagles, great blue herons, and goshawks. He assists in releasing Diesel, a young bald eagle rehabilitated after being hit by a car, helping the bird return to the wild.

Join host Jeff Corwin on a conservation adventure, beginning in Big Sur, California, to aid the California condor's recovery. At the Ventana Wildlife Society sanctuary, Corwin helps prepare juvenile condors for release. Once critically endangered with only 22 individuals in 1982, the population has rebounded to approximately 500 worldwide, with 300 now free-flying. This remarkable success, involving captive breeding and tagging, demonstrates dedicated conservation.

Corwin learns about the challenges of protecting North America's largest flying bird, which has a slow reproductive rate. Later, he travels to Massachusetts to assist the Department of Fish and Wildlife in saving the unique saltmarsh sparrow, a species endemic to East Coast habitats.
