In this classic episode from 2020, they explore...

Chris reframes migration as a planet-connecting system that moves energy and nutrients and keeps ecosystems in sync—now facing a growing “migration collapse,” where patterns break down before species disappear.
He explores three failure modes: disrupted timing from climate change, broken routes from human barriers, and energetic failure when animals can’t find enough food. Through monarch butterflies, gray whales, and salmon, he ...
