Outside/In

Killing Cats, Saving Numbats

In Australia, conventional conservation wisdom has stated that in order to save the small indigenous mammals, it's necessary to kill invasive predators. But is it?  Today on the show, we follow environmental writer Emma Marris as she explores the concept, and possible limits, of compassionate conservationism.
Also, are you noticing that we're in your feed a little early? That's because this month, we're asking for you to pitch in and support the podcast with a donation, and because we know that's kind of annoying, we want to give you something a little extra as thanks. So for the month of April, instead of just 2 episodes, we're going to give you four.
Not only that we're giving away swag! We've lined up a bunch of nifty thank you gifts, which you can peruse at <a href="https://www.outsideinradio.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">outsideinradio.org</a>
So, if you want to send a little love our way <a href="https://secure3.convio.net/nhpr/site/Donation2?df_id=3512&amp;mfc_pref=T&amp;3512.donation=form1&amp;utm_source=outsideinradio.org&amp;utm_medium=Outside%20In%20Website&amp;utm_campaign=monthly%20giving%20link%20-%20outsidein" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">click here to donate to our Outside/In Fund Drive, and get a limited edition O/I button (among other cool stuff)!</a>

Our connection to the outdoors runs deep in our DNA, but our relationship to the natural world can be complicated. From the unintended human costs of clean energy, to the murky ethics of high-risk rescue missions, to our seemingly eternal conflict with invasive species, we dive head first into those complexities with stories, in-depth reporting, and a touch of nerdiness. You don’t have to be a conservation biologist, a whitewater kayaker, or an obsessive composter to love Outside/In. It’s a show for anyone who has ever been outdoors. In short, it’s a show for *almost* everyone. Hosted by Sam Evans-Brown, Outside/In is a production of New Hampshire Public Radio.
