Dr. Jenkins sits down with Nelson Brooke, the Black Warrior Riverkeeper, to talk about conservation in Alabama. They discuss the amazing topographic and biological diversity that few people realize characterizes Alabama. Chris and Nelson dive into the Black Warrior Watershed and its values and threats. They talk about how two rare endemic species are holding on in the watershed. Finally, they discuss what the job of a Riverkeeper is, and the approaches they take to watershed conservation. They finish the podcast with a discussion of the Waterkeepers Alliance and how this type of work is being implemented around the world.
