Miriam Horn – George Schaller and the Transformation of Wildlife Biology
Miriam Horn joins Ed Roberson on the Mountain Prairie podcast to talk about her biography of George Schaller, Homesick for a World Unknown.
“In this conversation, Miriam and I explore Schaller’s remarkable life and the long arc of his influence—from his early days in Alaska to his groundbreaking work with gorillas, big cats, and high-altitude species across the globe. We talk about the tension between conservation and human needs, the role of humility and local knowledge in effective wildlife protection, and what Miriam learned after nearly a decade spent researching and writing this biography. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about one man’s life, but also about the bigger question of how humans can live responsibly within the natural world.”
