Higher Calling Wildlife is the inspirational voice of wildlife conservation. Hosted by award-winning wildlife journalist and conservationist Chester Moore it digs deep into today’s most important wildlife issues.
In an engaging, in-depth interview with top-selling fishing book author and CCA President Pat Murray, Chester Moore digs deep into the secrets of surf fishing for speckled trout.
This PSA ran on "Moore Outdoors" on Newstalk AM 560 KLVi in 2020.
In an interview for the Higher Calling Wildlife podcast, Chester Moore discussed the recent cloning of a black-footed ferret with Ben Novak of Revive & Restore.
In the conversation about the use of cloning technology to aid the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's ferret program, Moore asked about the potential of using genetic technology to control feral hogs. The discussion was a fascinating one and brings to mind many questions of the potential to fix a major wildlife problem but also raises questions of ethics and negative impacts of the technology.
Enjoy this conversation with Novak, a very bright scientist who has recently made history with the black-footed ferret program.
