Description

I’ve dedicated my life to studying and protecting wildlife, and sharing that knowledge with as many people as possible. And recently I can feel a hunger for change in the world - a new relationship with nature...

And something I’ve seen time and time again, in films, on stage, in person, in ears... is that stories about wildlife, and the world we live in, attract people. Their curiosity leads to fascination, and then love. When someone loves something, they want to care for it. It’s been a lifelong journey for me trying to crystallize this wonder - through education, films, talks, and now the podcast.

Here you'll experience some of those stories, often segments of larger stories from films and THE WILD with Chris Morgan podcast. Afterwards, perhaps you'll launch your own journey to care for our world. I truly hope that is the case. So kick back and watch, listen, share. Then join me...let's do some good together!

Happy Earth Day!

There is a lot of uncertainty in the world right now when it comes to the environmental health of our planet. Political leaders seem unable or unwilling to take action on climate change. And we continue our rapid loss of biodiversity. But I wanted to give you a little hope on this special day by sharing a little different perspective on this tiny blue marble we call home.

If you enjoy this episode, please share it with others. After all, we're all in this together.

And thanks to the wild team Matt Martin, Lucy Soucek, Jim Gates, and Brendan Sweeney. And thank you Gordon Hempton and Quiet Parks International for the beautiful audio.

wildlife photography Grizzly Bear 399 Teton National Park nature animal connection

Tom Mangelsen is one of the most gifted and prolific wildlife photographers of our time. He may be best known for documenting the life of Grizzly Bear 399 in and around Teton National Park in Wyoming. I’ve spent thousands of hours alongside, and guiding some of the best wildlife photographers in the world, but I’ve never been lucky enough to spend time in the wild with Tom. And he has always seemed to possess a connection with animals that is rare. Whether it be gorillas, penguins, tigers, or our beloved grizzlies, Tom’s work over the last 50 years captures moments of true nature that inspire people all over the world. I went into our conversation wanting to talk about the most famous bear on earth, but also wanting to understand how he sees the world through his camera lens. What I got was a lesson in being still.

Yellowstone National Park: Celebrity bears, and a tale of two trout

Yellowstone National Park grizzly bear cutthroat trout lake trout invasive species ecosystem food chain

You can’t come to Yellowstone without thinking about the grizzly bear. This thriving ancient ecosystem is like a sacred space for them. And a critical source for food which they are constantly in search of in order to get the needed calories that will sustain them through their long winter sleep.

But what many grizzly bear lovers might not think about are the fish at the heart of the bear feeding frenzy. Yellowstone has the largest high elevation lake in North America, and under the surface, a fight is going on between the native cutthroat trout and the invasive lake trout. And for a long time the invasive lake trout have been winning the battle, throwing the whole lake’s food chain into disarray.

On today’s episode, Chris visits Yellowstone to see how scientists are turning an ecological disaster into a rare invasive species success story, and how the beloved Yellowstone grizzlies are faring amongst this drama.
