Rosanna Xia is an environmental reporter for the Los Angeles Times, specializing in stories about the coast and ocean. A Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2020 for explanatory reporting, her work has been anthologized in the Best American Science and Nature Writing series. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Rosanna discusses her book California Against the Sea, and the future of California's vanishing coastline in the face of rising water. The impacts of engineered landscapes, the market pressures of development, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved California's contemporary coastline are all factors clashing with the escalating effects of climate chaos. Is an equitable refashioning of coastal stewardship possible?

Jeffrey H Ryan is an author, adventurer, photographer, and historian. He has written several books about his outdoor exploits, his fascination with hiking trails, and a deep appreciation for history woven into walks across contemporary landscapes. His latest book, 'This Land Was Saved for You and Me', traces the path from Olmsted’s first wanderings in Yosemite to the signing of The Wilderness Act in 1964. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Jeffrey delves into the history of rescuing America's public lands, and both the notable and lesser-known people who gave their all to protect forests and wilderness areas before they would be gone forever and ensured that all Americans would retain the benefits of ownership.

Author Roger L Di Silvestro is a professional conservationist, a former editor and writer for the National Audubon Society, and also worked for Defenders of Wildlife and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Roger discusses the topic of his latest book Return of the Bison, which tells the story of how this symbol of the American West was once almost lost to history and of the continuing journey to bring the bison back from the brink. Weaving in natural history and interesting historical contexts, along with the key role of America’s Indigenous people, Roger describes the complex history of the bison’s decimation and how a rising awareness of their possible extinction formed the roots of many modern wildlife conservation approaches.

The Appalachian trail is an iconic American landmark of wild natural beauty and the longest hiking-only trail in the world, stretching from Georgia to Maine. More than 2 million people hike portions of the trail each year, but only a small fraction hike the entirety of the trail in a single season. Paul Fuzinski is one such ‘Thru-hiker’. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Paul recounts his life-changing experiences on the trail, the physical and mental commitments involved, relationships forged along the way, and the resulting profound connection to nature he now enjoys.
