The Important Sh*t in Life (From the Field)

If you are interested in life on Earth, you need to be concerned with the dead and how the dead become living once again. This circle of life depends heavily on small, incredibly consequential, and slightly disgusting creatures.

In this episode of The Nature Dilemma, we introduce you to the world of dung beetles. Hear from internationally acclaimed conservationists and researches in the field right now studying these species and everything they tell us about the world around us.

The Nature Dilemma is powered by Osa Conservation. Hosted by Lucy Kleiner. Production by Dr. Andrew Whitworth and Lucy Kleiner. Artwork by Ysemay Dercon and Jack Yuen. For more, @osaconservation. Featuring Dr. Adrian Forsyth and field researcher Eleanor Flatt.

The Nature Dilemma
Stories from Earth's Last Wild Places
Reporting from Earth's richest and wildest tropical landscapes, The Nature Dilemma takes you to the front line of conservation and the climate change crisis. We ask some of the most accomplished conservationists of our time and those working tirelessly to preserve and restore nature: how can we move forward? How can we rebuild our own connection to nature, ensure that the wild remains wild, and understand why doing so is in our best interest.
