Resilient Earth Radio

Welcome to RESILIENT EARTH RADIO where we host speakers from the United States and around the world to talk about critical issues facing our planet and the positive actions people are taking. We also let our listeners learn how they can get involved and make a difference.

Hosts are Leigh Anne Lindsey, Producer Sea Storm Studios and GM of KGUA 88.3FM (an independent public radio station on the Northern California coast), and Scott & Tree Mercer, Founders, Mendonoma Whale & Seal Study.

A focus of this podcast series are Nature-Based Economies that help rebalance the Earth and raise awareness about the value of whales, elephants, mangroves, seagrass, the deep seas, waterways and forests - our natural world - towards that rebalancing. This addresses the effects of our own human-caused climate change, and what we can do about it - from simple steps to grand gestures!

Global experts, citizen scientists, activists, fisher folk, and educators examine and explain ciritical issues facing our planet and actions people are taking to mitigate and rebalance climate. We discuss the critical role of carbon storage, and how it is essential for all life forms on earth.

This awareness could lead to new laws, policies and procedures to help protect these valuable resources, and encourage economies around them to replace the existing exploitation of oceans, forests, and animals.

Taking positive action, and getting people involved, that's our goal.

Happywhale! Co-Founder Ted Cheeseman Shares How Whale Identification Helps Our Planet

September 21, 2024 • Planet Centric Media

In this episode and radio show, we talk with Ted Cheeseman, founder of Happywhale, an organization that engages citizen scientists to help identify individual marine mammals, for fun and for science. Their mission is to increase global understanding and caring for marine environments and to make it easy and rewarding for the public to participate in marine science through innovative and engaging collaborative tools which also serves the research community.

Their creation story: From Happywhale.com: Why whales, and what about other marine creatures too? Whales are magnificent and mysterious creatures, they inspire awe and admiration in almost everyone so fortunate as to observe them. We are motivated by a desire to learn more about whales, other marine mammals, and the ocean environment that they – and we – depend on.
