Description

In Episode 3 of Conservation Tails, we sit down with Maggie Cooper of Shedd Aquarium and Nick Wesley of Urban Rivers to talk about the floating wetlands they are developing and placing in the Chicago River. This is a longer episode that really digs into how Shedd Aquarium is helping the water and shoreline at home, and how their partnership with Urban Rivers is leading to some amazing results for the urban wildlife in the water and along it's banks.EPISODE LINKS: @shedd_aquarium on socials sheddaquarium.org ROSSIFARI LINKS: patreon.com/rossifari @rossifari on socials @rossifaripod on TikTok rossifari.com References For This Episode: Camarillo, E.

The Rossifari Podcast brings my love of zoos, aquariums, rescues, and rehab facilities to you! Each episode features an interview with someone who works at one of these facilities. We talk about different species, individual animals, conservation efforts, nutrition...all kinds of stuff. This is a podcast suitable for all ages, but we will discuss topics like mating behaviors and euthanasia. If you're a fan of zoos, or have ever wondered what exactly a zookeeper does, how aquariums manage to keep all that water so clean, or just want to hear a bunch of amazing stories about incredible animals, and the people that take care of them, this is the podcast for you!
