Migrant farmworkers face special risks as more than half of them are undocumented and many lack access to healthcare. We'll hear from a longtime California farmworker about his fears and frustrations about working with little protection in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n\n\n\nAlso, in a key decision for environmental law, by a 6-3 vote the US Supreme Court has created a major precedent that strengthens the Clean Water Act.\n\n\n\n\nAnd while zoos, aquariums, and wildlife centers have had to close their doors during the COVID-19 pandemic, many have gone online to continue their mission with virtual visits and critter cams.\n\n\n\n\nAll that and more, in this episode of Living on Earth from PRX.\n\n\n\n\nFind this week's transcript here: https://loe.org/shows/shows.html?programID=20-P13-00018. . . . \n\n\nLEARN MORE about these stories and everything in our decades of archives at loe.org.
