Encore: Loving Wildlife To Death with Glen Martin - a podcast by Eli Weiss

Since this episode originally aired a year ago, traction from animal rights and welfare movements have certainly gained ground for exotic animals in captivity. However, in terms of large landscape-species survival plans, rights and welfare acts can create direct conflict to saving species in the wild: umbrella species and critical players in conserving large landscapes, biodiversity and ecosystems that depend upon them, where extinction of an entire species in the wild V's. an individual, would have devastating consequences. In Game Changer, by award winning environmental reporter Glen Martin, we look at this question as it applies to Africa’s megafauna, where the rising influence of the animal rights movement and animal welfare groups could paradoxically lead to their very elimination. Where our wild world's last great populations of wildlife may well be hostages in the battle between those who love them, and those who would save them.
