Dr. Susan B. Eirich on Reconnection Ecology

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Dr. Susan B. Eirich, Founder and Executive Director of the Earthfire Institute, a wildlife sanctuary and rehabilitation center in Driggs, Idaho. She discusses her deep sentiments on the value of Reconnection Ecology, a framework created to reawaken our relationship with wildlife and nature, expanding our sense of community to include all living beings and moving us to protect thriving habitats for all life.

She talks about her love for the West, and her deep connection and instinctive understanding of wolves. Today, Earthfire Institute houses bears, wolves, and a menagerie of mammals native to the Yellowstone to Yukon wildlife corridor. Visitors, by appointment only, are welcome to observe and connect for a few hours, or even a few days!
