Our Public Lands
#2 - Canopy of Titans
In this episode of 'Our Public Lands', I interview journalist and environmental investigator Paul Koberstein. Our conversation delves into the importance of protecting old growth forests, and their immense ecological and value. Paul shares his extensive experience in environmental journalism, highlighting landmark investigations by his outfit Cascadia Times, including exposing poaching in the Hawaiian Islands and air pollution issues in Oregon. Paul discusses the importance of preserving temperate rainforests for wildlife and carbon sequestration, the role of native species like salmon and beavers in ecosystem health, and the challenges posed by current forestry practices and wildfire management narratives. Paul talks about his new book 'Canopy of Titans,' co-authored with Jessica Applegate, which underscores the global importance of America's temperate rainforests.
