How America’s roads alter our ecology, with Ben Goldfarb (reprise)

The Wild with Chris Morgan

Happy holidays! Thanks for tuning into THE WILD. I’m so glad you’re here. 

THE WILD team is hard at work on some more brand-new episodes that will come out in the new year. But for now, I want to revisit a very popular episode from last season that I think is perfect for this busy time of holiday travel. 

It’s a conversation I had with author Ben Goldfarb about roads and their impact on pretty much everything in the natural world. 

So, if you’re piling into the car to get to the airport, or taking a road trip to visit your friends and family, give a listen to this episode. I bet it’ll get you thinking differently about America’s roads.

We'll be back in your feed in a few weeks. Have a happy and safe holiday season!

GUEST:
Ben Goldfarb, is an award-winning environmental journalist and author of Crossings: How Road Ecology Is Shaping the Future of Our Planet
