radiolab galapagos transcript

WebCommission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. I am a senior research scientist at Yale University and has come up with kind of a radical idea. 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. But according to Linda sometime in the late 1970s, the goats got brave. But that shouldn't really happen. Um, me and Brooke, they make announcements and at a certain point, the flight attendants, they open up all of the overhead bins and they walk up and down spraying some sort of insecticide for what for like invasive species. I felt violent. I'm Janna boom rod. And that's also why when we think of evolution, we think of the Galapagos and in particular we think of two iconic creatures, the tortoise and the finch. Yeah, exactly. you're radically remaking the world. He visited an island called Fernandina and the first thing I saw was a lava flow that was moving. Jun 24, 2022. We went live on the radio that was so fun. But when I ask charlotte what she makes of all of these changes, she said, I think probably too little too late. But then I spoke with this woman. That's. If they can't make babies, the population will crash and in some cases you can successfully eradicate a species. And the fishermen are like, who are you to tell me that I can't feed my family. Mhm We'll be back in less than 200,000 years. Description Description the new york public school system has been called the most racially segregated in the country. 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. And that's where I thought oh something's changed in the system. This tiny little dead finch in this box, wow! In the meantime the vegetation on Pinta is growing out of control from an ecological point of view pinter can't wait. So here's the story, Goats were originally brought to the Galapagos probably by pirates and whalers back in the 1500s. Now the jury is still very much out on what will happen. [00:00:21] Hi, this is Katrina from Melbourne, Australia. Could you whistle them for me? Um, so it's like you have you have a couple of shrew like creatures walking around. Bonobos. This is radio lab, we'll be back with producer Tim Howard and this hour on Galapagos. So they did it. They might not be stupid ideas, but we still might not be able to do them. No Bocelli the incumbent one.

The medium tree finch has patrol that boundary. So it's a lot. You had tons of sailors making these long voyages across the Pacific and Galapagos was the major ports on the whaling route where you come and get fresh water, but you'd also come in and pick up tortoises, land tortoises and you know, boats would take away several 100 of them often and turn them upside down and they can last for up to a year and a half in the hold of a ship like lying there, upside down, lying there upside down in order to make space for the tortoises. Yeah. Well the honeymoon's over Galapagos. Not worse. Radiolab is supported in part by the Alfred P. Fund Foundation, enhancing public understanding of science and technology in the modern world. Report for Radio Lab. They can live for over 100 and 50 years. Now linda says in the end you don't actually need to do the full aggressive four generation breeding thing. But whatever the scene is that just doesn't have any people but is carrying that idea, those pictures in your head even like useful anymore. We are ascending and we have our dreams. You've got. These are such alien looking creatures. They get back over the island with this little device. And the goats that were out there were gorgeous, You know, they had curled horns, different coloured fur, just beautiful animals and they've been there for 500 years, some people were concerned with goats have their own if you will right to be there. Every population of tortoises on all the islands. So something is happening. I mean that's what I thought. Yeah. She sees a small group of birds who have mixed up jeans hybrid cluster some genes from the small tree finches and some from the medium tree finch is what does that mean? 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. They were a little bit different depending on which island the finches lived on with the beaks. So now they had a dilemma. Here we go. Here we are, we're going to look at these incredible creators called los malos and as we're walking along the path, she's like, oh wait, look at this, She points just to the right of the path. They're also seeing baby finches climbing up over each other just struggling to get away from the larva on the bottom of the nest and then they'll even start standing on the nest rim just to avoid being eaten. You can like see him pulsing, breathing. This next part, it's about how far we're willing to go to get something back that we've already lost to restore a place in a creature to its wild state. We are dedicating a whole hour to the Galapagos archipelago, the place that inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. Here's the backstory. 2.2K views about 2 years ago 48:23 Love it or hate it, the freedom to I hope not. More information Boxid. WebGalpagos - Podcast As our co-Hosts Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser are out this week, we are re-sharing the perfect episode to start the summer season! So I took the plane from Kyoto. It is about enabling the key actors, the bridge engineer to do their work more effectively more efficiently. Susie Leuchtenburg is our executive producer. This one, which first aired As our co-Hosts Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser are out this week, we are re-sharing the perfect episode to start the summer season! You can join in on early access at our merch stores. You know, there's green mangroves, black lava flows and pink flamingos. Wow, that is freaking amazing, describe them. I'm not going to say it wandering jew basic house plant. They would need like millions of traps every few feet to do that. They introduced goats to Galapagos, but on islands like Isabella, which is this massive island size of Rhode island, The goats were actually penned into just little part of it Because there was this black lava rock that ran across the island, extremely rough lava that's extremely difficult to walk across 12 miles of it. Here's Kareem Yousef, the general manager of AI Applications at IBM, I'm standing on top of a suspension bridge, I've got a vast view in front of me. That was a big problem for dire into power and then the islands come into sight. And those are really interesting ideas, but at some point they're gonna get hungry and they're going to start eating all the other things that you know, you treasure, like the occasional tourists in any case after endless planning and meetings took eight years, I think they commence project Isabella. Yeah. You're not sad and he's like a friend. And then fishermen started making a killing fishing sea cucumber because there was this huge demand. 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. A given episode Initially it was carl's suggestion was goats, gregarious and like being in groups, they're herd animals. Right? Hello? Radiolab: Lucy. People sent in dozens of tortoises but linda took one look at them and was like no, no no, no they weren't pinto's. Hmm. Just out of sympathy for them. That is the sound of a tortoise breathing. Well, there's there's a couple of clues that say maybe, Yeah, for example, when you look in the nests, they seem to have fewer parasites and they seem to have more babies that survive 15%. Climate change seems to mean that a lot of species are Pretty much doomed, 30%, 40%, 50% of the species now on the planet in a few decades maybe disappearing. On the other hand, you had all of these goats that didn't choose to be on the island. I met him at this pizza place the election had happened the night before and did he win? full access to Shopify his entire suite of features. So I met this woman named Hanky Yaeger who is like a plant scientist. More often, I'm Kareem Yousef and at IBM we use artificial intelligence to solve real world.

And so we want to ask for your help now, as we enter this new stage, this new year for us. What happened to the forest, goats, goats? Can I get you to introduce yourself? Um they seem to have stopped, you know taking over National Park and killing tortoises. Listen 18 min The Political Scene | The New Yorker Corpse Demon Penta is was a very special place. So you um you complete that with Isabella and did it work? The small tree finch goes something like that's a small tree finch. And basically when you have only judas goats meeting up with other judas goats, then you can say the goats have been eliminated, you're done A point, they got to at least on Isabella in mid 2006. 24 June 2012.

He never really liked other tortoises much. 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. He just kind of points. Yeah. See? James says they kept going back combing the island with highly trained toward of sniffing dogs. Yeah, it's P. H. I L. I can't spell out loud Phil or L. O. R. N. I. S. D. O. W. N. S. I. Filan is actually means bird loving. I worked for island conservation and I'm based here in the Galapagos islands carl's actually the guy who showed me those tortoises, it was just a, it was a barren landscape, barren, barren grounds. I'm talking tie dyed caps and hot pink sweatbands. And based on that genetic data the small tree finch is not doing great. And the thing to know is that even though these are three different species, they're actually really hard to tell apart visually. But compared to the medium tree finch is they are because the medium tree finch is were on the brink of extinction. They're like the size of jeez, I don't even know what their massive, they look like. Hosted by Latif Nasser and There's 100,000 of them, So many doubters, Carl says even heard the idea, why don't you put lions? Clearwater, FL, 33763. Oh my God, there are these three massive tortoises just clustered together under a tree. Seriously? He's also a well known musician in Galapagos turns out thanks to the Galapagos national park Charles Darwin Foundation Island conservation and the Galapagos Conservancy. Same exact story that Darwin saw these processes that he described that just never ever stop.

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. And I remember asking one guy, they're driving so slow, I can just walk up to them. That was actually the first thing I noticed. That sally dream is she's an environmental Law professor at the Berkeley School of Law in California? You have to find all those other goats circle real low, you fly around them, round them up, try and get them in a single group and then They start picking off the goats one x 1 x one and they're actually videos online where you see these packs of goats running for their lives. I'm walking through the town. So Gisella thought just by chance some of these tortoises are going to have a little bit more Penta D. N. A. WebThe Galapagos Islands are famous for inspiring Charles Darwin to form his Theory of Evolution based on the biodiversity he'd observed there. Radio lab is supported by Teladoc. And if you think about it, we all have this, we all have this this picture of what we want to bring it all back to. Yeah, mother, mid eighties. But I mean in the bigger picture, you can make the argument that humans now affect every square meter of the earth. James says a lot of tortoises. Nothing worked until One day in July of 2008, George turns to the two female tortoises that he had been ignoring for years and he says, inexplicably he just suddenly decides to mate with both of them. And so there under the trees, you have these ponds with dozens of tortoise domes just rising out of the water. She worked with him every other day or so for a few months and was never successful.

Most recently, in an exploration of the science of aging and the search for immortality in an episode titled "Mortality," hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich But here's the problem. Created in 2002, Radiolab began as an exploration of science, philosophy, and And what we'd do is we'd find a location as close as we could. Surely in four generations you could have 90% of the pinto genome restored. And James says in a way it was a paradox because on the one hand, awesome, we have an actual living pinta island tortoise. So you can give a push to this Process. I spent what two grand friend is The beginning is the beginning of a new a new future for the island. Unlike on the island of Isabella, which became barren, on the island of Pinta the vegetation has grown out of control due to the extinction of the tortoises (and no goats) by 1906. But as far as I know, there are none for Radiolab. For transcripts, see individual segment pages. This is radio lab. Start tracking the judas goat until they spot it with some other goats. 14K subscribers in the Radiolab community. And he says that as the meeting were on it got tense. So we we go outside.

WebThe interview originally from a podcast called The Relentless Picnic, but presented by one of Lulus current podcast faves, The 11th is part of an episode of mini pep talks designed to help us all get through this cold, dark, second-pandemic-winter-in-a-row. And you have this one here. Hey, it's latin. Our newsletter comes out He sat there getting more and more and more frustrated and finally he just blurted out shoot that tortoise and quit wasting our time because in his view this the single individual was holding up this huge conservation opportunity. Mhm tortoises walking around. We have at least five species that are known to be facing extinction and another six in serious decline. It, it's a combination of reasons on the one hand, fishermen have started to participate in the actual fisheries management more because it seems like they realize if they're going to keep their livelihood, they can't just fish everything out. What's, what's going on you? This is James gibbs, professor of conservation biology at the State University of new york, it's one of those islands, it's not part of any tourist visitation site. Oh God, dad showed me this. It's our new membership program and it comes with awesome perks, ad free listening, bonus, audio content, live events. They tagged, we collected genetic samples, got some D. N. A. Science programming is provided by the Gordon and Betty moore Foundation Science sandbox assignment Foundation initiative and the john Templeton Foundation Foundational support for Radio Lab was provided by the Alfred P.

The ideal judas goat, if you will is a goat that would search for and be searched for and that would never get pregnant. Just walk past the newspaper that says 72 hours left in the electoral campaign. We've done so much on the show since last summer. 179 years later, the Galapagos are undergoing rapid changes that continue to pose -- and possibly answer -- critical questions about the fragility and resilience of life on Earth. So she would end up relying on their songs. What if in fact life is purely changed. In the mid nineties we started in 94 Gisella and some folks from the Galapagos national park, they began taking a census of all the tortoises in the Galapagos. 179 years later, the Galapagos are And how far are we willing to go to return a place to what it was before we got there. I'm the restoration Ecologist at the Charles Darwin foundation. It's customized for your needs, provides tools to manage your day to day needs and drive sales and helps make your idea real. In any case for about 40 years. Yes I do. So what if we took those tortoises and read them together, select them for the next generation. Test the outer edges of what you think you know, Radiolab is supported by listeners like you. But a high school girls volleyball team is redefining what it means to play together.

We then went to a wolf volcano island next door and collected two females. But then she sees something amazing in that genetic data. And if things keep going this way, who's going to stand up for nature? Now the Galapagos government spends millions of dollars checking all of the goods that come in and out trying to quarantine the ones that might have things that are a problem. Web9 1 Radiolab Podcasts and Streamers 1 comment Best BewareTheSphere 6 yr. ago A lot of WNYC podcasts do transcripts-- I know On the Media does. She's a researcher at the Charles Darwin foundation. And so what they decided to do is leave the judas, goats on various islands where they can live out their sterilized days chomping on grass, sharing war stories until such time as it might be needed again, is the, is the war between the greens and the and the fishermen and such, is that still hot and difficult And are they still no killing tortoises and they're not the fishermen. What do they look like? Who kind of scrambled everything up for me? We thought about the worst years ever and all through that listener support was one of the things that kept us going.
