Karl Malcolm

Karl Malcolm, VP of Conservation for the Ruffed Grouse Society and American Woodcock Society, is a wildlife biologist focused on forest habitat and upland birds. He discusses why grouse and woodcock declined as forests homogenized. He explains ideal early-successional habitat, how timber markets fund large-scale restoration, and how engaging more people can scale conservation work.

Steven Rinella talks with guests about the legacy of Aldo Leopold, hunting with kids, controversial audiobook introductions, forestry conservation, preserving wilderness areas, and reflections on conservation books and writing process.
