The Eco Well podcast ·

2022/06/14

This episode featured Adam Ford, Ph.D. Canada Research Chair in Wildlife Restoration Ecology at UBC, on the topic of misplaced conservation. What it is, how it happens and why we should care. While misplaced conservation may seem like something far removed from cosmetics, as you’ll hear once we get started, it really isn’t.

2022/04/11

Unless you live under a rock, I am sure you have seen some scary headlines about PFAS.
