Listen "Climate Change in Patagonia, by Keegan Pietrak"
Episode Synopsis
The podcast analyzes how species diversity is impacted in Patagonia due to climate change and increasing global emissions. In general, if the global temperatures continue to increase, many species are greatly at risk, and although conservation methods such as creating protected lands can greatly increase the chances of survival for certain species, it can only do so much as long as the core issues regarding climate change are not properly addressed. Most of my information was found on the Vanderbilt library database except for my audio (which is from "audio archive"), and other information relating to ice-ages and glacial periods (which was found on one other website that is run by Nasa). I wrote lines for both of my parents to include so that my podcast wouldn't be flat with only one voice and I used a variety of different audio clips (all from the audio archive website provided. also, each audio is in the public domain) to enhance the atmosphere created by the podcast. I learned a lot about Patagonia, specifically how climate change impacts biodiversity in the region.
