Tyler sharp, editor in chief of Modern Huntsman joins me in a conversation with David Yoskowitz, the Executive Director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and Katie Spurgin, the Engagement Officer for the Foundation, to discuss conservation, land-use and recreation in the great outdoors: how do we protect our wild spaces while also making them accessible for everyone? This episode is an extension of a story presented by Tecovas in volume ten of Modern Huntsman, all about Stewards of the Wild - a programme run by the Foundation.

Casey Anderson — or grizzly guy as he is on his social platforms — is a naturalist and filmmaker creating shows as a producer and host for Natgeo, the BBC and Discovery Channel to name just a few. He runs a wildlife sanctuary in Montana and offers an intimate insight into captive wildlife — the good and the bad. From an analysis of anthropomorphising animals to the death of the famous P22 mountain lion and nearly being killed by a cougar himself, it’s a captivating discussion with a man who has lived an amazing life.

Lyndsie is a writer, oral historian and 2018 National Geographic Explorer. In this show, we discuss her new book Tree Thieves, investigating the billion-dollar black market in timber and how it intersects with environmentalism, class and culture. http://www.lyndsiebourgon.com/ To order the latest volume of Modern Huntsman, visit: www.modernhuntsman.com For more on the film Paid in Blood, visit: https://www.byronpace.co.uk/paidinblood Support on patreon: www.patreon.com/byronpace

In this episode, something different. A few months ago I was asked to host an episode of UNpacked, tackling the question: what is ethical wildlife tourism?

Purchase the full back catalogue of volumes on the website There's nothing quite like a magical, transportive animal encounter—but how do we ensure those encounters are good for the animals (and good for the places we visit)? Journalist Byron Pace, host of the Into the Wilderness Podcast, takes us on a journey around the world, talking with wildlife experts ranging from a shark scientist in Australia to a California-based biologist.

This is episode 206 and our second episode of the Tecovas Outpost series. If you want to hear the first episode in this series, go back to Ep.195 and the brilliant interview with Matt Skogland from North Bridger Bison, recorded in the sagebrush steppe of Montana. The Outpost series brings you stories of the wilderness from the American west, from people who live, breathe and work on the land. You can read articles related to this series on the Tecovas website. In this show, I speak with Malou Andersen-Ramirez from her family ranch in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem. She speaks of the shifting mindsets around living with wild animals alongside livestock, and in particular large predators — the most controversial of all. But more than that, Malou offers a view of the natural world which encourages observation and alignment with natural processes in order to live more in step with nature.
