Podcast: “The ABCs of the ESA (Endangered Species Act)”

Date Sep 18, 2024
Published in Currents

For more than 50 years, the Endangered Species Act has provided the mechanisms to protect imperiled species in the United States. But like most legislation, understanding how it actually works can be a pretty daunting task. No worries! We’ve got just the scientists for that.

In this episode, our vice president of conservation science and education and resident aquatic conservation biologist swoop in to offer reams (REAMS) of knowledge to help you understand how the ESA helps protect our nation’s most at-risk species and why landing on the list of endangered species isn’t the death sentence some may assume it to be.

 

Episode cast:

  • Casey Phillips, Communications Specialist and Host
  • Dr. Anna George, Vice President of Conservation Science & Education
  • Dr. Bernie Kuhajda, Aquatic Conservation Biologist
