Today I'm featuring the second half of my conversation with author, speaker, entrepreneur, and wearer of many more hats, Jamie Workman.
Jamie is most recently the co-author, along with Environmental Defense Fund executive director, Amanda Leland, of the new book, Sea Change: unlikely allies and a success story of oceanic proportions, which highlights the under-reported success of collaborative, rights-based management in restoring decimated oceanic ecosystems, and the human communities who rely on them, around the world.
Its an inspiring story. You can learn all about it in part one of our conversation, which you can find free and ad-free on the coast range radio podcast feed.
Today in part two, we get into other aspects of his work, including so-called water credit trading systems, his experience as a wildland firefighter and how that shapes his work on bringing more fire (and chainsaws) back to forests, and whether we should, in his words, Own The Wild.
