Shinrin-yoku is a phrase that literally translates to “forest bathing”. It’s a practice i learned about a few years ago and became fascinated with because it proves that time in a forest can help you in so many different ways, including reducing your stress hormones, raising levels in empathy and well being, including your cognitive process. And in this episode of @thewildpod i learn about this process that has been developed in Japan from a Forest Therapy Guide, their name is Julie Hepp. I also talk with author Florence Williams who wrote a book on the subject and is the person who is origionaly responsible for getting me in this topic, i’m fascinated by it because it just shows that a walk in the woods is good for all of us, and i think you might quickly become curious about this subject as well, hope you enjoy it! 🌲🍃 ➡️ Make sure to search for “THE WILD KUOW” on the podcast platform of your choice, or go to link: https://kuow.org/stories/the-wild-episode-8 🎧
3rd generation rancher Malou Anderson-Ramirez makes a fantastic statement in this article explaining that to her she sees that the ranchers who live in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem have a “unique responsibility” to protect this landscape, learning how to ranch while in the midst of large predators and other wildlife in that area, as she states, “These ranchers too, are an endangered species, and if they don’t learn to adapt they, too, will disappear.” Beautifully said by someone who is learning from the environment she resides in rather than trying to work against it. It is so incredibly possible to learn to live with the wildlife that has been roaming our lands long before us, it truly is a unique responsibility we have been given ourselves, as you read this article you can see that it is already happening! Although the Grizzly Bear Recovery Process for the North Cascades in my home state of Washington has been put on hold, i remain hopeful that success stories like these where people are striving to live with nature rather than against it, will help move this process forward in the near future! 👩‍🌾🐻 ➡️ Here is the link to the original article: https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/may/12/montana-ranchers-share-the-landscape-with-grizzlie/
A lot of you have heard me talking about the amazing story of brown bears in Italy, most recently i was there in September to try to find one, and that has become the latest episode of @thewildpod ! The resilience of these brown bears is remarkable, for thousands of years they have survived in isolations just a few hours from Rome. At one point in history there would have been hundreds of these bears roaming around this area, but today there are only around 50 of them left. It is a wonderful episode to tune into, i hope you enjoy it! 🐻🇮🇹 @kuow ➡️ Make sure to search for “THE WILD KUOW” on the podcast platform of your choice, or go to link: https://kuow.org/stories/the-wild-episode-7 🎧
I’m in the air on my way to Italy to go and track Brown bears, and this exciting news just came in! Thirty years ago i went tracking bears in Northern Spain when there were only about 70 of them left, now it’s a total success story, a rewilding in the making, because there are now over 200 Brown bears in Spain, and the news today is that one of them has spilled over the Portuguese border into country where they have not been for 100 years! Portugal, how amazing.. LOVE this. Spread the news! 🐻 ⬇️Here is the link to the full story⬇️ https://www.rte.ie/news/europe/2019/0509/1048398-brown-bear-portugal/
WOW! What a moment! Today's @thewildpod episode is about being safe in the wild - I dissect several human-wildlife encounters to dig deep on what's going on in certain situations - with bears, a cougar, a sea lion, and this amazing interaction with a mountain gorilla. Besides from just being fascinating subject matter, my hope is that this episode will help keep wildlife AND people safe in the wild - just a few simple tips really help! 🦍🎧 @kuow ➡️ Make sure to search for “THE WILD KUOW” on the podcast platform of your choice, or go to link: https://kuow.org/stories/the-wild-episode-6
A photo of myself among the bears i love on the Alaska Peninsula - one of the densest brown bear populations on earth. Here the bears seem to extend their social tolerance of each other to PEOPLE. It's one of the best habitats on earth for them - lots of salmon calories! 🐻 Photo by @brendaphillipsphotos 📸
