Dr. Doug Inkley, a senior scientist at the National Wildlife Federation, joins us to discuss these findings and what more needs to be done to preserve biodiversity.

Less than .05% of listeners will donate. Can we count on you?

Our coverage reaches millions each week, but only a small fraction of listeners contribute to sustain our program. We still need 224 more people to donate $100 or $10/monthly to unlock our $67,000 match. Will you help us get there today?
