S2:E13 - Managing California's Natural Resources

If you are not already aware, California is a big, complicated state. It's home to over 40 million people and if it were an independent nation, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world! From the lush forests of the north to the dry deserts in the south, from the historical Pacific coastline to the rural, agricultural Central Valley, California has some of the most diverse and wide ranging natural resources in the world. Managing these is not easy. From the ongoing water crisis to increasing wildfires to major drops in biodiversity in recent decades, we don't envy those who are in charge of making sense of it all. We do however, want to talk to them. So this week on Animalia, we chat with Angela Barranco, Undersecretary for Natural Resources for the entire state!
