Episode Details

Dr. Johann Walker, DU’s director of operations for the Great Plains region, joins Dr. Mike Brasher for a mid-March update on the status of drought in the prairies and why we should not expect a rapid turnaround. We also learn about the important conservation that continues, why your support is vital, how sustained investments in science are necessary to identify and adapt to changes across the landscapes, and why at the end of the day personal relationships are what make conservation possible. Lastly, what can be said about the possibility of restrictive seasons in light of declining populations and continuing drought, and what does it mean for our conservation work?
