For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place? SHOW NOTES: Kara Weller: The Impossible Dilemma of a Polar Guide Marilyn Raphael: A twenty-first century structural change in Antarctica’s sea ice system Karl Watson: First Time in Antarctica Jeb Brooks : 7 Days in Antarctica (Journey to the South Pole) Metallica - Freeze 'Em All: Live in Antarctica Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

Dateline April 18, 2025 Rossifari Zoo News is back with a collection of stories that go deeper than usual, but less so than last week! This week we share some personal stories, and then look at three headlines from the field. First, we discuss what an Executive Order signed this week means for animal conservation. Spoiler alert: It's not good. Then we dive into the labor unrest at the San Diego Zoo. And we finish up by taking a look at the negative effect the #AIActionFigure trend had on zoos and aquariums this week, and how some facilities rose above the fray to participate in creative ways. Also, Animal Holidays! ROSSIFARI LINKS: rossifari.com patreon.com/rossifari @rossifari on socials @rossifaripod on TikTok…

Dateline: November 29, 2024. Rossifari Zoo News is back with a round up of the latest news in the world of zoos, aquariums, conservation, and animal weirdness! We start off with a discussion of my last few days, and some reflections on a journey I went on. Our headline story this week looks at the AZA's Trends Report, and some controversy surrounding two of the topics addressed within. We then move on to our births section, including a new tree kangaroo at Roger Williams Park Zoo, new bintlets at Hammerton Zoo Park, and more births at the St. Louis Zoo, Auckland Zoo, and the Colchester Zoo. We also say goodbye to some incredible animals from the Topeka Zoo, Turtle Back Zoo, the Palm Beach Zoo, and Shedd Aquarium. We then move on to our other Zoo News stories. This episode features stories from the Berlin Zoo, Honolulu Zoo, Woodland Park Zoo, Zoos Victoria, and the Creation Kingdom Zoo. In Conservation News, we talk about a crazy story of someone trying to transport animals in a unique way for the illegal pet trade, an interesting behavior documented in the wolves of Ethiopia, a whale stranding in New Zealand, yet another way oceanic plastics are bad, another animal being declared extinct, and an amazing success involving black footed ferrets. In Other News, we talk about a newly seen behavior in a snow leopard and a tiger that is going viral for reasons that may not be super great.

Today, the Safari sits down with Emily Mack to talk about grief. In a short period of time, the zoo Emily formerly worked at lost four animals on her string. To put it mildly, this was NOT a good time for Emily or her team. So we go into great detail on the relationships she had with her animals, what the losses felt like, and what living with and getting past that grief looked like to Emily.
