| 11/14/24 | [S3E10] Creator and Destroyer: African Elephants | A big animal can make big changes in their environment... and cause big problems for the people who live alongside it. African Elephants have a fascinating relationship to the savanna and the people who call it home, where it is equal parts feared and revered. The world of elephant conservation is complicated, and in this episode, Nicole examines the nuanced stories of these beautiful beasts and the conflicts that surround them.

| 10/24/24 | [S3E9] Worm Lizards: Undulating and Unknowable | Happy Halloween from your grasslands PR Team! This month, Rachel confronts one of her worst childhood fears to bring us a tale of the strange and slithering: a group of animals so odd and cryptic that the existence of many species was only confirmed after their habitat was bulldozed. We're delving into the fascinating world of worm lizards, a world full of unknowns that still begs to be explored. After all, how can we learn about an animal that's virtually impossible to observe in the wild? A fanged and ferocious creature that creeps below our feet, hearing our every step, and slipping ever deeper into the darkness...

| 9/12/24 | [S3E8] Drafting Porcupines into the Best Biome | Possibly the best episode of all time (according to me, Rachel). Allan gives us EVERYTHING.

| 8/8/24 | [S3E7] Bees Know Everything | Bees know more than you. Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration, but they definitely know more than you realize!

| 7/11/24 | [S3E6] Sandyland Groupies | Desertification is a major threat to many grasslands, so let's study the best real-world example: The Horqin Grassland, aka the Horqin Sandy Lands. How has this landscape changed over time, what can it teach us about the future of arid grasslands, and which approaches by Inner Mongolia and China to fight desertification give us hope? We love a hopeful story, and this certainly is one. Primary Sources: Visual timeline of land deterioration and reversals.

| 2/8/24 | [S3E1] Embrace Winter (Wood Bison) | The conservation story of Canada's polar-vortex-loving Wood Bison is one of colossal mistakes, stacked odds, and (to our gleeful surprise) hope and optimism.
