The Nature Dilemma Osa Conservation

Humanity is in trouble. Does Costa Rica have the answers?
With over 99% of their electricity already produced from renewables and more than a quarter of their land protected, we look to Costa Rica's most powerful - and successful - climate leaders for answers. Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, head of the Global Environment Facility (the largest environmental fund in the world) and Andrea Meza, Minister of Environment, walk us through the country's success story, how they got there, and what's up next for this Green (and Blue) Nation.
A conversation on how Costa Rica shaped the Green Future ... for everyone.

If you are interested in life on Earth, you need to be concerned with the dead and how the dead become living once again. This circle of life depends heavily on small, incredibly consequential, and slightly disgusting creatures.

In this episode of The Nature Dilemma, we introduce you to the world of dung beetles. Hear from internationally acclaimed conservationists and researches in the field right now studying these species and everything they tell us about the world around us.

This month, National Geographic Magazine featured Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula, calling it a "a biodiverse wonder and a model for conservation." In this episode, The Nature Dilemma sits down with the man behind those images, National Geographic Photographer Charlie Hamilton James. From the puma picture the world couldn't believe to treetop photography and the burning Amazon, this man is among those most familiar with Earth's last wild places.
