Jane Goodall, who broke barriers of all sorts, has passed at age 91. Her accomplishments will always live, because she changed the world, the way we work, and how see humans and our other relatives. Here we are in a Zoom conference together 4 years ago.

My interview with Oprah Winfrey is live! Feel free to enjoy and to share. We ranged from dogs to the sacredness of Life on Earth. I am really pleased with how it turned out and Oprah's producer says it's one of his all-time faves in the series.

My conversation with Oprah Winfrey on the Oprah Podcast is out now!

Carl Safina discusses #animal emotions on the Oprah Podcast:

"When we love someone, we feel that we want to be close to them... in our house, our dogs are never given any kind of a treat or fed upstairs in the bedroom. But at night, they come upstairs. Why? Because they want to be near us."

I think you’d enjoy this video of the first two tunes of our recent concert in the park on Long Island. It was a perfect afternoon for playing music outdoors. I had a ton of fun with such great musicians:

Since at least the 1980's, there have been documented instances of #humpback #whales blowing "bubble rings" in front of humans.

In a new post on our blog, Jodi Frediani writes about her team's recent study on this phenomenon and what it might tell us about our #cetacean neighbors 🌏

Orcas share food with one another, so they were just being themselves with us. I'm quoted in this article. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

These orcas have been trying to feed people, new research shows

Orcas in four oceans have been documented offering food to people, according to new research.

All in favor of fascism in a militarized United States, you're in the top photo.
All opposed? You in the bottom photo.
Both on June 14. We are bigger!

This week, congress will vote on a rescissions package that would take over $1 billion of funding away from public TV networks like PBS. We ask you to write to your members of congress and urge them to vote against rescinding the funding that makes shows like PBS' "Nature" and "Menghayati" possible.
