S1-22 In Wildness is the Preservation of the World

In many places around the world wild voices have been silenced. In the Highlands of Scotland, for instance, apex predators, such as the Eurasian Lynx, were hunted to extinction around 1,500 years ago! Once a place loses its wildness, it’s really hard to bring it back…

Tune into KRCB.org (104.9 FM Sonoma County) to listen for the current segment. Ear to the Wild is a short interstitial segment aired somewhat randomly throughout the day between other programs. They use shorts and postcards to fill airtime during breaks from Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Also during their music programing, as needed. Greta Mart tends to air them during her show around 4:47 or 5:47.

We are posting more soon, so please check back!
