Living with the WaterWolf
After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, countries with low sea levels have expressed concern for their safety. One of those coutries is the Netherlands where much of the land is below sea level with a reputation of having mass floods. Michele Ernsting from Radio Netherlands Worldwide went in search of answers in preventing another natural disaster. This program airs as part of the international documentary exchange series Crossing Boundaries.[more]
Code Green

Code Green explores the impact that hurricanes have on urban greencover, from integrating trees and wetlands into a city's infrastructure and disaster plan, to post-hurricane damage assessment of city trees and coastal marshes, to recovery and rebuilding. Hear from scientists, city planners and urban foresters about their work to establish, protect and restore the green infrastructure in the wake of catastrophic hurricanes, in coastal cities from Charleston to New Orleans. This program, from Producer Gemma Hooley, airs as part of our ongoing series, Tales from Urban Forests.[more]
