Bruce Shoemaker is a researcher on natural resource conflicts and author of the book "Dead in the Water", about hydropower projects and extractive predatory capitalism in Southeast Asia. In this podcast we talk about turning monoculturres of pine plantations back into biodiverse forest in Northern California, the importance of fire in Northern California forests, as well as the completely disparate topic of forest clearance and exploitation in Southeast Asia, the family Dipterocarpaceae, the removal of the dams on the Klamath River in California, and more.
