Episode notes

Back from the brink! Aaron and Rustin both cover two different conservation success stories. Aaron starts with the black-footed ferret, discussing the key reasons for their decline, their rediscovery, and the challenges they still face today. Rustin follows with the habitat restoration of the Kirtland warbler. Learn about how studying habitats influences animal conservation, how conserving one animal can benefit an entire ecosystem and the antiquated "sport" of ferret legging.
