Environmentally Speaking
Welcome to Environmentally Speaking.
The environment is everything, literally, and on this podcast, no environmental topic is off-limits. We are living in unprecedented times. Times of threats to our environment, our health, and our freedom. Environmental degradation has resulted in the loss of livelihoods, lives, cultures, knowledges, and heritages. We are in the midst of a global-scale environmental crisis…climate change. What are our leaders doing to fight against this? What are you doing to fight against this? For our returning listeners, we have rebranded. So you would have been with us from what is now Season 1, CovidChat, where we discussed the multidimensional impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thank you for sticking with us. Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @Ourfootprintja. Visit our website www.ourfootprintja.org.

Boiling Seas & Cooked Corals
Temperature check? Too hot for corals…Episode two of temperature check dives into the ocean where warming waters are killing our corals. After a mass extinction event, coral restoration efforts in Jamaica came to a screeching halt despite the work of environmental experts trying their best to find and preserve survivors. Felix Charnley joins us from Ocho Rios Jamaica where he works to preserve marine ecosystems and Danielle Nembhard joins us from Australia where she is conducting PhD research on Indigenous inclusion in conservation efforts within the Great Barrier Reef (which is the size of Italy). Dive in with us for this vital episode of temperature check where you will learn that ‘when corals die, we know why’.
