What's unique about Canada's environment? 'The Narwhal' brings top news and views
Manage episode 417020492 series 1264845
On this episode of Mongabay’s podcast, we speak with a co-founder of the award-winning Canadian nonprofit news outlet ‘The Narwhal,’ Emma Gilchrist.
She reflects on Canada’s unique natural legacy, her organization's successes, the state of environmental reporting in the nature-rich nation, how she sees ‘The Narwhal’ filling the gaps in historically neglected stories and viewpoints, and why something as universally appreciated as nature can still be a polarizing topic.
She also details a legal battle her organization is involved in that could have significant implications for press freedom in Canada.
