Nick Mott on the Endangered Species Act

Nick Mott is an award-winning journalist and host of a new podcast The Wide Open. The first season, Threatened, explores the complex legacy of the Endangered Species Act and new episodes are dropping weekly right now. Mott discusses the Act’s history, its powerful legal teeth, and the social and political challenges surrounding species protection, particularly with predators like grizzly bears in Montana. He shares insights into the ethical and practical debates about wildlife conservation, the social question of what constitutes species recovery, and how the Act has become such a contentious issue in modern politics.
