Episode 2: What counts as Nature
This episode explores the contrast of two books and their relevance on how we view nature. Edward O Wilson, in Half Earth, advocates for large patches of undisturbed ecosystems while Emma Marris writes in the Rambunctious Graden about how humans are and seem to have no choice but to participate in interacting with ecosystems. Here we set the stage for future episodes by asking just what we are talking about when we discuss Nature in Nature/Human interaction.
