Facing the New Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Author: NC Museum of Natural Sciences October 5, 2021 Duration: 18:05

New York Times best-selling author, Richard Louv, returns to provide further insight in this week’s episode, discussing how humans can commit to re-wilding natural areas and how cities can play a role by becoming engines for biodiversity and environmental revitalization. Louv also addresses the four horsemen of the apocalypse: climate change, the collapse of biodiversity, pandemic and human loneliness and shares his wisdom on how humans can combat these issues.


Produced by the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, Love Nature is built on a simple, powerful idea: our curiosity about the living world is a profound and shared starting point. This isn't a lecture series, but a series of conversations where that innate fascination leads the way. Each episode introduces you to a different voice-a scientist in the field, a researcher analyzing data, an artist interpreting patterns-who brings a unique perspective to our relationship with the environment. What unites them is a palpable passion, a personal story of connection that goes beyond academic interest. You'll hear the enthusiasm in their voices as they discuss not just what they study, but why it matters to them personally and what it reveals about our place in a complex, changing system. The discussions are lively and nuanced, often circling around a central theme of care and stewardship. By tuning into this podcast, you're invited into a space where expertise meets heartfelt advocacy, where learning about intricate ecosystems or animal behavior is intertwined with genuine hopes for their future. The goal is to leave each episode feeling that infectious spark of inspiration, equipped with a richer, more textured understanding of the natural forces around us and a clearer sense of how we, as inherently curious beings, can engage with them more thoughtfully. It’s about deepening that connection we all instinctively feel, one conversation at a time.
