    15. The Wild World of Birds: A Naturalist Walk at San Elijo Lagoon w/ Alex Wild (Part 2)
    2025/05/07
    Listen to this episode on your favorite podcast platform or watch the video version on our YouTube channel to see the birds we identify during our walk! Episode Overview This episode continues our conversation with park ranger Alex Wild, featuring a guided nature walk around San Elijo Lagoon. Alex identifies various birds and plants while discussing his role as a park ranger and sharing stories about inspiring environmental elders. This episode follows our previous discussion with Alex about recent attacks on National Parks and federal worker cuts that affected him personally. We had a special guest join us, Franklin the desert tortoise, Alex's former pet now serving as an animal ambassador at San Elijo. Keep reading to learn more about the birds we saw in this episode! Key Topics Discussed Major talking points included bird identification and birding tips, including creating a "life list" for birding. We also defined "Spark Birds" - the species that ignite someone's passion for birding and how ornithology lends itself to Alex's responsibilities as a park ranger. Spiritual connection to the land and the importance of role models as environmental elders who inspire. Most importantly, we discuss what it means to use our voice to protect natural spaces we love. Poetry Feature: "The Peace of Wild Things" By Wendell Berry When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. Featured Segments Endangered Bird Segment: Endangered bird species are under threat! This recently published report from the 2025 US State of the Birds Report by the American Bird Conservancy outlines the threats that birds face across America and defines proactive solutions to protect bird populations for future generations. Key findings from the new report show that more than one-third of U.S. bird species are of high or moderate conservation concern, including 112 Tipping Point species that have lost more than 50 percent of their populations in the last 50 years. Betty Reid Soskin Park Ranger segment: Betty Reid Soskin (born Betty Charbonnet; 1921), now retired, was a park ranger with the National Park Service, assigned to the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California. In 2015, Betty was selected to participate in the national tree-lighting ceremony in President’s Park at the White House, introducing President Barack Obama during the PBS telecast. At 100 years of age in 2022, Betty retired as the oldest park ranger in the National Park Service. Thank you for your hard-earned work, Betty!

    Episode Summary

    Happy Earth Day! 🌎💚 In this special bonus episode, we sit down with Alex Wild, a park ranger and naturalist who recently made headlines after being caught in the crossfire of controversial executive orders affecting National Parks. We filmed this episode live from the San Elijo Lagoon with Alex’s pet tortoise and now education ambassador, Franklin. Alex shares his journey as a steward of public lands, about the recent DOGE job cuts, his opinion on the recent executive orders, and his natural, spiritual connection to the landscape. Learn about how Alex embodies what it means to be a Planet Person in this exciting discussion about current events and the conservation of public lands!

    Topics Covered Personal Stories and Environmental Passion

    Alex shares the childhood experiences that sparked his passion for environmental stewardship. We recorded live in one of his many spirit homes, the San Elijo Lagoon, in Cardiff, CA.

    He shares the spiritual meaning behind being a Planet Person and how that reflects in his everyday life as a naturalist and a ranger.

    We recount wild and memorable experiences from Alex's time as a park ranger, like his experience hiking in the Yosemite wilderness to measure glaciers that John Muir once observed.

    Recent Policy Changes and Their Impact

    Alex recounts his experience of being laid off due to the DOGE program and then shares how he was reinstated following a San Francisco judge's ruling. We discussed how these changes affect thousands of park workers.

    Recent Adventures

    Alex has a full and exciting life, recounting his many travel adventures around California working for county, state, and federal parks. He shared his meaningful encounter with Jane Goodall and how she has shaped his approach to advocacy and actionable ways listeners can support conservation efforts.

    13. Bonus Episode: LA Wildfires
    2025/01/18
    In this bonus episode of Planet People, Natalie and Coral discuss the devastation around the LA Wildfires for both people, wildlife and the planet. As a scientist Natalie offers insight into the climate crisis while Coral sheds light on the LA community and the people that have been displaced and affected by this tragedy. They discuss how extreme weather patterns like intense rainfall, followed by a significant drought year, and hurricane like winds, created ripe conditions for wildfire to spread. With California experiencing two wet years in 2023-2024, it also allowed for invasive tree and grass species to grow unchecked and create a mat and corridor for fires to spread rapidly in 2025. The Santa Ana Winds also brought extremely dry conditions and with the lack of moisture in the air, the fires started with no warning. Habitats impacted by these state parks including, coastal sage scrub, wetlands, chaparral, and oak woodlands. State parks were also destroyed by the fire, including Will Rogers State Park and Topanga Canyon State Park. Resources and organizations to donate to and support through volunteer efforts are listed below. Our hearts go out to LA during this unprecedented disaster. Wildlife Impact Alert! Mountain Lions: P-22's family & local populations are necessary top predators for ecosystem services to thriveMule Deer: Critical prey species for mountain lion & seed dispersalRattlesnakes: Essential pest controlGrey Foxes: Under threat from habitat lossRed-tailed Hawks: Nesting sites at riskCoyotes: Den sites at risk Habitat Impact Alert Oak Woodlands: Ancient trees threatened that are endemic to southern California, occur in Mandeville Canyon and Malibu State ParkCoastal Sage Scrub: One of the rarest and most endangered habitats that songbirds, like endangered California gnatcatcher, dominate in Topanga State ParkNative Grasslands: Fire recovery needed to prevent invasive species from outcompeting native floraChaparral: Habitat that dominated Will Rogers State Park and Topanga canyon, shelter for bobcats, quail, snakes and more.
