Big Sky Documentary Film FestivalBetween Earth and SkyRenowned ecologist Nalini Nadkarni pioneered climbing techniques to study the Costa Rican rainforest canopy. After surviving a life-threatening fall from a tree, she turns her research inward to understand the processes of disturbance and recovery in her own life, a journey documented in Between Earth and Sky. Nalini Nadkarni and director Andrew Nadkarni visited the Trail studios to discuss Between Earth and Sky, which won the award for Best Short at the 2023 Big Sky Doc Fest.2023-02-2815 min
Wild Ideas Worth LivingExploring Tree Canopies with Nalini NadkarniNalini Nadkarni is an ecologist who helped revolutionize the study of forest canopies. In 1980, Nalini started using mountain climbing techniques to ascend to the treetops in the Costa Rican rainforest. When Nalini isn't traversing tree canopies, she's advocating for environmental conservation and education. Her goal is to reach a broad audience with the message that nature can be incredibly profound, even life-changing.Connect with Nalini: Website Resources: Nalini's TED TalkNalini's article on Tapestry ThinkingNature and Human Health - Alliance Sponsor:Check out REI’s Re/Supply program

Radiolab Podcasts (Radiolab)Forests on ForestsFor much of history, tree canopies were pretty much completely ignored by science. It was as if researchers said collectively, "It's just going to be empty up there, and we've got our hands full studying the trees down here! So why bother?!"
But then, around the mid-1980s, a few ecologists around the world got curious and started making their way up into the treetops using any means necessary (ropes, cranes, hot air dirigibles) to document all they could find. It didn't take long for them to realize not only was the forest canopy not empty, it...2022-02-0400 minBioScience TalksIn Their Own Words: Nalini NadkarniThis episode is the next in our oral history series, In Their Own Words.
