Javan rhino calls and an analysis of 'green' forest certification
On this week's show we speak with\xa0Princeton University's Zuzana Burivalova\xa0about whether forest certification schemes like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) are actually achieving their environmental, social, and economic goals. Whether they do or not has massive implications for forest conservation worldwide, and while the evidence is hard to find, this tropical forest ecologist has interesting findings to share.
Our second guest is Steve Wilson, who has\xa0just written a new paper on Javan rhino vocalizations. He plays some recordings of these fascinating sounds\xa0and discusses what they mean.\xa0
Plus we round up the past two weeks' top news.
