The Wild Presents Outside/In: Not everyone is wild about wild horses
We\u2019re taking a short break from releasing episodes so we can work on more new stories for our series on our National Parks. I hope you\u2019re enjoying it!
In the meantime, I wanted to share a special episode of a show I think you\u2019ll really enjoy: Outside/In from our friends at New Hampshire Public Radio. Each week, the show explores topics around science, wildlife, environmentalism, and more. It takes listeners on journeys across the natural world from wherever they are \u2013 and includes a healthy dose of goofing off.
In this episode, the host and award-winning reporter Nate Hegyi explores wild horses. For many, these creatures are a symbol of freedom and the American West but for others, they\u2019re an ecological nuisance. Nate visits a rancher on the Blackfeet Reservation where free-ranging horses have become more plentiful than deer. They\u2019re outcompeting cattle for forage and putting livelihoods at risk.\xa0 Wild horses are a lot more controversial in the American West than most people realize.\xa0
