Thanks to Trish Dolman and screen siren pictures, Alex gala font Mathias espinosa. I can see the sea cargo ships going by and we have drones flying that are taking thousands of pictures of every angle of that bridge that no human could actually quickly process without artificial intelligence. more about how IBM is using AI to help organizations create more resilient and sustainable infrastructure and operations by visiting IBM dot com slash sustainability this week on the new yorker radio hour, we're joined by Alan Alda Alda talks about growing up around burlesque shows his life as an actor, science feminism and how he took up podcasting in his eighties. And that's paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. He seemed to really like to keep to himself. In fact says that it's actually in the same family as the regular house fly, but it's actually a boat fly called the Lorna's down. By this point, I'm getting super excited and I'm thinking about Darwin and I start reading Voyage of the Beagle, his book on this nook that I had bought for the trip. And you could argue we're gonna have to get a whole lot better at making some very, very difficult decisions. That's very similar to what I was picturing, But we land, we take the 40 minute bus drive, which turns out to be kind of a big town, tons of people live there like a fishing village, tons, no, it's way bigger than a fishing village and just let me say that my first hours in Galapagos were totally different than I was expecting. You know, it might be like the planes just covered with buffalo or maybe the Serengeti desert with Lines and elephants. Episode Credits:Reported and produced byTim Howard. The tortoise is a tortoise is a tortoise. WNYC Studios | Podcasts So Gisella thought just by chance some of these tortoises are going to have a little bit more Penta D. N. A. All right on top of the cave, drop out one of the two shooters that was in the helicopter and he'd physically go into the cave shoe, the goats out or shoot them on sight. Is this the way that everybody who works on the tortoises thinks about it this kind of deep time. Oh my God. Image credits: Rene via Adobe Stock. What if everything has been changing all the time? Transcripts and Recorded Audio - WNYC They were a little bit different depending on which island the finches lived on with the beaks. The place that inspired Charles Darwin to create his theory of evolution, whose basic ingredients are lots of time, isolation and then constant change. Yeah. And then fishermen started making a killing fishing sea cucumber because there was this huge demand. You had plants re emerging, you had trees growing back and in a really short period of time. But then along come the flies and all of a sudden like over maybe 20 years, these medium tree finch is they start to break their own biggest rule and they start to make outside of their own kind. Let's go back to a better time. But then at the same time the tourism economy has been taking off and so all of these fishermen, they find that it's easier for them to actually survive by using their boats to take tourists around island island. So she would end up relying on their songs. And he told me that in the seventies and eighties lobster was fished all year round no restrictions. Those arguments came up frequently to which carl would respond, Are we going to let tortoises go extinct. Listen to keeping score a special series on the United States of anxiety wherever you get, listener supported W. N. Y. C. Studios way listening to radio. Radiolab ' s first nine seasons (February 2002April 2011) comprised five episodes each. Subsequent seasons contained between nine and ten episodes. Season 15 began airing in January 2017. In 2018 the show's seasonal and episode format became obscured when online content moved from radiolab.org to wnycstudios.org. And so the technique that we would use was you would fire up your helicopter, you fly around, you'd find some goats, capture goats, capture them live and then come back back to base camp, offload them and you put a radio collar on them and you throw them back on the island. Galapagos Support Radiolab by becoming a member of The Lab (https://members.radiolab.org/) today. And he says he would go on these dives. I like to think of it as a kind of Darwin finch. That is the sound of a tortoise breathing. I spent what two grand friend is The beginning is the beginning of a new a new future for the island. That's Shopify dot com slash radio lab. Also, thanks to Dylan keef original music. He's adorable. She says if we keep doing that, taking the babies with the most painted DNA, breeding them together slowly. This is fraser fraser. This one, which first aired in 2014, tells the strange story of a small group of islands that keeps us wondering: will our most sacred natural landscapes inevitably get swallowed up by humans? And so there under the trees, you have these ponds with dozens of tortoise domes just rising out of the water. They blockaded roads. Boxid. But what if simply putting your foot on the ground can completely transform a place hola back to producer tim Howard. In fact one guy spoke with Harry Green. This is a field of four. I guess. And so in 1994 we had what we called the tortoise summit in England and that was where we started the discussions about what are we going to do, experts came from all over the world linda says we want to get rid of the goats and many of them thought we were nuts and that it was impossible. WebWNYC is America's most listened-to public radio station and the producer of award-winning programs and podcasts like Radiolab, On the Media, and The Brian Lehrer Show. Whereas the numbers were very small for the medium tree finch and smaller for the small tree finch, wow, I dare say that sounds kind of hopeful. And if things keep going this way, who's going to stand up for nature? Yeah, mother, mid eighties. To take good question. Hey, radio lab listeners, Here's a message from our partner, IBM.

Steffi Basnet - 84 Galapagos Podcast Pt 2 - 7426314 Galapagos - Radiolab It shows you the power. I'm actually walking down Charles Darwin Avenue just kinda getting the lay of the land when all of a sudden this line of cars comes around the corner honking, endless honking and waving flags, blue flags. Listen. And I remember asking one guy, they're driving so slow, I can just walk up to them. WebRADIOLAB Galapagos Aired in 2014, this episode describes some of the challenges faced by the Galapagos islands to protect their local species. And so you end up flying around in an expensive helicopter, not fighting any goes Now the way we deal with that is an interesting one. So you um you complete that with Isabella and did it work? We said goodbye to Jad abu Murad. The warbler finch is the smallest of the Darwin's finches. So you really only had two species left. I'm the restoration Ecologist at the Charles Darwin foundation. Yeah. Our newsletter comes out every Wednesday. They take 39 tortoises raised in captivity and they use them as placeholders. The adult fly seems to be harmless. Green and white leaves. He was so joyful to have lost. you're radically remaking the world. You know sleuthing adventure sonya and her team rounded up some of the birds. It does. Here at Radiolab we wanted to flip that flop, so we dredged up the most mortifying, most audio story. And so we want to ask for your help now, as we enter this new stage, this new year for us. Now of course there are no female tortoises on pinta but they thought you know, maybe a zoo somewhere private collection has one because you really never know. Our newsletter comes out My version was, is my dream of what it would be like as you land on and it's sort of like low grassy knoll and an enormous turtle comes by the one that you could sit on the top of it. What's that? just a boom rod. Is there any time scale we should worry about. We covered disability and access in a way that was totally new for us. You could see the marks where it was just chopped up. And this guy, he doesn't even say anything. In any case for about 40 years. They're just basically the lawnmowers. So linda when she first went to Galapagos to study these tortoises about 30 years ago I did a trip where we backpacked around the caldera. I would just I would have shot them first. It's a directional antenna. Okay, so here's a wood plaque That says Lonesome George is the last survivor of the dynasty of land tortoises from Pinta Island and in fact in 2012, after decades of trying to get him to breed lonesome George Dies. They don't know the exact date. He wasn't curious. Now most of these plants are actually probably harmless and you know like you said Galapagos national park they spend tons of money, tons of time trying to keep invasives out. You're saying this pinto DNA was on another island. So here's the story, Goats were originally brought to the Galapagos probably by pirates and whalers back in the 1500s. This is radio lab and we are dedicating the entire hour to this little set of islands and to that question as the world is filling up with more and more and more people, Is it inevitable that even the most sacred pristine places on the planet will eventually get swallowed up? One male tortoise, maybe 50 years old. So I took the plane from Kyoto. I think yeah, whatever bugs might have snuck out of the plane. Seriously? Oh my God, there are these three massive tortoises just clustered together under a tree. But then I spoke with this woman. No Bocelli the incumbent one. Exactly. And the fishermen are like, who are you to tell me that I can't feed my family. He and some national park rangers race out to pin to and there it was this beautiful tortoise. I want this to work. You had the small tree finches and the medium tree finch is. But I go up to him and I yell at him, who's your candidate and he said, I am a candidate? But that's four generations of tortoises, not rats. Ariane wack pat, Walters and molly Webster With help from Bowen wong. Nearly 200 years later, the Galpagos are undergoing rapid changes that continue to pose and perhaps answer critical questions about the fragility and resilience of life on Earth. These five species, does that mean that they may go extinct in the next five years in the next 50 years? The uneasy marriage of biology and engineering raises big questions about the nature of life. It was very confusing.

But then one evening in March of 1972. Not know how would that happen. And James says in a way it was a paradox because on the one hand, awesome, we have an actual living pinta island tortoise. WebCommission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. We are dedicating a whole hour to the Galapagos archipelago, the place that inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. Again, a whole bunch of herpetologists were out there and some island conservationists and they're talking about what to do pente and they can't get lonesome George to reproduce which they were hoping to do because then they could build a pin to population and put it on Penta.

WebRadiolabGalapagos Rebroadcast 2017. We did this amazing story about one of the worst american football games in history. So they poked around in the areas where we got the one and I found a shell of a female, how had this female toward has died? Galpagos - Podcast They basically got their home back. These are such alien looking creatures. Today, the strange story of a small group of islands that raise a big question: is it inevitable that even our most sacred natural landscapes will eventually get swallowed up by humans? It is about enabling the key actors, the bridge engineer to do their work more effectively more efficiently. They learned that this sound means, so the goats start hiding so they're going to bushes, they won't move, They learn to stand under a tree holding their breath. And the question is, what's our responsibility? Yeah, that that was a very unexpected discovery, takes a couple steps to get there, but just to set it up back in 2000, she was on floreana island for the first time. Same exact story that Darwin saw these processes that he described that just never ever stop. And that's where I thought oh something's changed in the system. I hope you enjoyed the producer tim. They're not exactly and they put them on Pinta and they're just chomping away right now they're living out their lives really happily on pinta. So whalers and buccaneers. NSF That was definitely not what I thought you were gonna say. Well it means that these two different finches had started having babies together. Why? She points right next to it. So then they thought we've got to take matters into our own hands basically. It's this totally wild, like I've never seen like this storybook, blue green, iridescent aquamarine and I'm thinking like, wow, this is gonna be like dropping into another world. silly.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of his "On the origin of species", and the unspoilt islands still fascinate researchers. We're God, we might as well get good at it and we're going to have to create these ecosystems based on our best science. So when you think about trying to inspect the bridge and every pillar, you're talking about extensive amount of work. But that shouldn't really happen. I'm a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University said that at this meeting there was one guy who just couldn't take it all I remember is him just fuming. We want to hit the ground running as we go into the next year and you've heard of the lab, we've been talking about it, we've been so excited about it. On the other hand, you had all of these goats that didn't choose to be on the island. Really? We celebrated our 20th anniversary.

You know, like nature in its purest form. Mhm. Test the outer edges of what you think you know. Did a genetic analysis and found something they never expected a group of tortoises. You know, they, they plow down vegetation disperse seeds, but for centuries they've been hunted by those whalers and in about 1906 The Penta Tortoise went extinct 1906, a little over 100 years ago. Say a few from maybe those Penta tortoises swim with occurrence to that nearby island. What was that? But in the end there's just George that then shifted the focus on now what do we do? 179 years later, the Galapagos are What's, what's going on you? So they thought maybe he needs a pinto lady.

I'm Jad Abumrad. Scientists first began to see this in 1997 when they started to find nests full of dead baby finches. You know because like we talked about in the 17 18 hundreds, these whalers would come along grab a bunch of tortoises, put them on the ship and then they would hunt for whales.

But that's the only possible the first day. Every population of tortoises on all the islands. James says they kept going back combing the island with highly trained toward of sniffing dogs.

We don't think it was natural Gisella thinks it might have been the whalers. We only have a few days left to meet our financial goal. We are dedicating a whole hour to the Galapagos archipelago, the place that inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. Hmm. And this is the place of course where Darwin landed in 1835. Now the jury is still very much out on what will happen. 1. And when you set foot first on pin to you immediately since your abundance all the insect life and birds problem is on pena things were spinning out of control vegetation was growing wild in the forest was getting overgrown with the wrong kind of plants and the whole ecosystem was just teetering out of balance And one of the reasons for this, according to Linda Coyote is that we had an island with no tortoises because tortoises are sort of like the lawnmowers. Just out of sympathy for them. Radiolab - Galapagos | The Best Podcasts, As Chosen By You earbud.fm by NPR Radiolab Galapagos "I love the Galapagos episode.
