Curt Meine, Ph.D., is a conservation biologist, historian, and writer. His biography 'Aldo Leopold: His Life and Work', was the first full-length biography of Leopold, and was named Book of the Year by the Forest History Society. In this episode of Nature Revisited Curt discusses American ecologist Aldo Leopold's life and his influential 1949 work 'A Sand County Almanac' which championed the idea of a "land ethic", or a responsible relationship existing between people and the land they inhabit.

Laura J. Martin is a prize-winning author, historian, and ecologist who studies how people shape the habitats of other species. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Scientific American, Slate, and The Atlantic. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Laura discusses her book Wild by Design: The Rise of Ecological Restoration, which delves into the history, science, and philosophy of designing natural places and creating wild species. Over time, ecologists, interest groups, and government agencies have coalesced around a mode of environmental management that seeks to respect the world-making and decision-making of other species, but is it possible to design nature without destroying wildness? Laura asks us what it means to be wild and calls for ecological restoration that is socially just.
