Podchat 08 | Invasive Species and Shifting Baselines with Leslie Anthony

Leslie Anthony is a good friend of mine from the ski industry with a wide variety of skillsets.  Not only is he an outdoor travel and sports author, but a biologist who wrote a book called 'Aliens Among Us' a few years ago that's all about different invasive species, so I sat down with him alongside some train tracks to chat about it all!  Here we talk about different types of invasive species, what makes them invasive in the first place, how great they are at adapting, how they get around the world *cough*train tracks*cough*, and the different phases of preventing, detecting, eradicating and managing them.
