Hey Nick, Fantastic reporting. As a lifelong treehugger I am eating up this program. I appreciate the various perspectives and the coverage of the challenges we face implementing the ESA-this balance between man’s pursuits and the needs of the planet and all of its living things. I find it especially resonate with my various personal bear experiences and working in Environmental Protection (which includes endangered species) for part of my career with WildEarth Guardians, a co-plaintiff on many ESA listing petitions. Great work and I can’t wait for season 2.

Thank you Nick for the wonderful storytelling and. Wince your bring to this topic. ESA has dramatically impacted our farm and entire basin. With a micro focus on a single species, it’s now threatening other species and entire communities. Nuance and holistic management approaches are needed.
