49 | Watershed Conservation with the Black Warrior Riverkeeper

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.
