I've had this bookmarked for a day or so and then I saw a rave review of it last night, so made a point of watching it when I got home today...
This is an amazing story about an amazing woman and her amazing life...can't recommend it enough...

I was catching up on watching The Nature of Things last night and the 'She Walks with Apes' episode was pretty amazing...here's a still of a baby chimp that slowly walked up to Jane Goodall, probably 1960s sometime, and touched her nose...amazing stuff. Highly recommend the episode.

A gentle word of caution here is very needed.
Beavers are amazing, and shape the environment, but as a Canadian, I often feel that people outside North America can be naive about how powerful is their impact — for good or ill.
Our native beaver Castor Canadensis have moved north, onto the tundra and permafrost, as climate change warms northern latitudes faster. They now range all the way from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic ocean coast at the Beaufort Sea.
Beaver are radically reshaping the environment, accelerating the retreat of the permafrost and the release of the carbon held in the permafrost into the atmosphere. No one can predict the impact on balance.
Here’s an excellent new episode S65E2 of The Nature of Things titled “Beavers From Above” that tells the story and presents the evidence with the voices of scientists and Indigenous knowledge keepers.
The Nature of Things is in its 65th season with Canada’s public broadcaster CBC. It continues to provide consistently excellent and accessible science knowledge for a general audience. Worth tracking down in your region.

This is the biggest #tide on Earth, and it's in #Canada.
The #BayOfFundy is on Canada's East Coast and it sits between #NovaScotia and #NewBrunswick. And it's enormous.
Twice a day, these waters ebb and flow, and in some places, they rise up to 18 metres — that's nearly 60 feet.
At low tide, the waters recede up to five kilometres, leaving behind 1,000 square kilometres of mud.

For your Friday afternoon enjoyment, this behind-the-scenes clip from The Nature of Things miniseries "The Secret World of Sound" features a selection of the surprisingly delightful songs of treehoppers, who vibrate their back ends against plant stems to communicate with each other: http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2303353411916

Friday night marked #DavidSuzuki 's last appearance as the host of the show that was founded in 1960 and which he, after taking over as host in 1979, turned into a byword for #science outreach. Over nearly four & a half decades, he's led #Canadians on a journey through topics as outre as bug sex and animal music, and as serious as the Underground Railroad and the fight to preserve old-growth forests.

"The Science of Success"
Season 6 Episode 14
on CBC's The Nature of Things
Helped me understand why Mastodon & NOT Friendica/Hubzilla/Streams
Became the posterperson of the Fediverse . . .
https://gem.cbc.ca/media/the-nature-of-things/s61e14
. . . And yet,
In the concluding segment,
We can recognize a Non-Mastodon Fediverse
In the real-world example of success of a distant Artists' "Node" into the NYC Art World centre of gravity.
