From the depths of our oceans to the tops of our mountains, a diverse cast of interdependent species is what makes life on Earth possible. Our ecosystems and the species that inhabit them require a diversity of organisms in order to survive. With each species lost on this planet, vital genetic diversity disappears, ecosystem services are disrupted, and the vast uniqueness of life that defines our Earth is diminished. With reduced biodiversity, the chance of extinction for all of us dramatically increases.
Storytelling has long been a way of deepening our understanding and empathizing with others different than us. This podcast series of short stories, provides a rare glimpse into worlds little known beyond their own geographical area and reveal a common theme of the fight for survival amidst change. We hope to inspire some necessary changes to make our planet more habitable — for everyone.
These stories intend to celebrate — all of us — who call Earth home.
