Jim Henterly spent more than 70 days alone at the Desolation Peak Fire Lookout station last summer. He was there to keep an eye out for smoke plumes but also so much more.
We can’t reset the clock on all the changes we’ve made to our natural ecosystems, but when we can, life is ready to thrive again.
There’s a way to understand nature through both the perspectives of indigenous knowledge and western science alongside each other. It’s a concept known as “two eyed seeing”.
A common misunderstanding about the sea is that it is silent down there, a quiet world beneath the waves, but it actually couldn't be further from the truth. The coral reef is the noisiest ecosystem in the sea.
Woodpeckers will peck at a tree up to 12,000 times a day and just one woodpecker peck produces about 15 times the force needed to give a human a concussion. So, how do woodpeckers bang their heads so much, and so hard and not come away with brain damage?
Fifty years later, we checked in on a rescue mission to save sea otters from nuclear annihilation and recolonize them along the west coast of North America.

Sacred center of the earth, or should it be 'scenter' of the earth, lol!
I enjoy the Wild podcast tremendously. The fiery spell made me think about the cycle of the earth. We as humans are contributing but I also think this earth is ever changing. in Wyoming, were I live, some glaciers are receding. That exposed ground is exposing wonderful native American artifacts. That tells me the glaciers have receded and rebuilt over time. When I was a school age person, I was tought nature changes quickly. Like mudslides in the Grand Canyon and Ice burgs. We did mismange fire the last 100 yrs but unfortunately we're living through the end & beginning of a earthly cycle.
Fantastic! Thank you for this perspective!
Remember that episode of the Simpsons when everybody went out to kill snakes on Whacking Day?
ALWAYS will love that intro! Probably my favorite episode, with the compassion and emotion throughout this one and the stories behind the people caring for these birds, and the AMAZING hosting! Can't wait to listen to every new episode😄🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for this episode. It is all about how I feel about life in general. It can be simple and full of common sense if we all listen and agree that not everything will be easy. With respect going both ways we can be friends. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm glad you were on ologies
this podcast not only restores my faith in humanity every episode, it's interesting too.
Thank you for sharing this!
Do you run? Play dead? Attack the animal? All of the above?
This has quickly become one of my absolute favorite podcasts! There's so much valuable information, incredibly interesting topics expelled so insightfully and reminds ourselves that we are human. It's been quite the emotional experience. love!
Humans learning to live in harmony with nature.
love this
Love this podcast!!
The Wild is incredible. I've listened to every episode at least twice.
Best Podcast EVER, I love everything about it. Super educational
Thank you for share this with us. You make me cry and laugh in this 20min podcast. Keep going. 💪
Omg! It was one of the best. I personally love the episodes like this one (and the forest therapist and the animal psychology episodes) which are talked about a concept in nature more than ones which are about one particular animal. For me, this one and the others like this works like both a meditation and educational session. I shared your podcast anywhere on social media for all my friends who love nature. Thanks for being so inspiring.💚
