Bison Dispatch #3

In Season 1 of Threshold, we reported on the decades-long fight to get the federal government to transfer the National Bison Range, and the bison, back to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. In 2020, it finally happened. Stewardship of the herd was returned to the people who had helped to save these animals from extinction more than a century before. It’s one of just a few cases where the U.S. government has actually returned a piece of land to the Native American people it was taken from. Earlier this year, we came back to the Bison Range to find out how things are going for the herd and what the restoration of this land has meant to the Tribes.

 On paper, the world has agreed to limit global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels. In reality, we are not on track to meet that goal. But the window is not yet fully closed. If we take decisive action this decade, we may still be able to prevent warming beyond 1.5 degrees. Will we?

Time to 1.5 grapples with the responsibility and privilege of this pivotal moment in human history.

The Refuge is a Peabody Award-winning series that dives into the decades-long controversy over oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

How have politics, conservation, economic aspirations, and traditional culture each shaped this battle? And what might drilling mean for the people who live there?

 The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. What does that mean for the four million people who live there? Cold Comfort gives listeners a rich understanding of this region and the changes it’s facing.

 Oh, Give Me A Home traces the history of the American bison, weaving together tales of violence, resistance, and our complicated relationship with conservation to get at the heart of a distinctly American story.

Podcasting is for everyone! In this webinar series, we guide you through the basic steps you need to go from “I have this idea…” to “listen to my podcast!”
