About this listen

On the Wild Edge is a solutions-first podcast from the Human-Wildlife Coexistence Initiative (HWCI). Host Fairlie Ann Arrow sits down with rescuers, scientists, ranchers, tribal leaders, environmentalists and community voices to explore what it really takes to live alongside coyotes, bears, wolves, ocean life, and more—primarily in the U.S., with occasional global stories. We go beyond headlines to field-tested practices that reduce conflict and help communities and wildlife thrive—plus the environmental forces shaping it all: water, fire, toxins, habitat and of course the big one, climate.

Episodes blend in-depth conversations with short solo “field notes” on what’s inspiring—or alarming—right now. If you believe coexistence is possible—and necessary—hit follow and share. Subscribe for hopeful stories, field-tested ideas, and clear actions you can take where you live.

  • Wildlife is Not a Selfie featuring John Banovich

    Wildlife is Not a Selfie featuring John Banovich
    Oct 22 2025
    In this debut episode of On the Wild Edge, filmmaker and wildlife cinematographer John Banovich joins host Fairlie Ann Arrow and co-host Stacy James from Dazzle Africa for an unforgettable conversation about truth, coexistence, and the wild beings still holding on in the shadows of human expansion.
    From intimate stories about a grizzly named Mumf and a caribou named Bruno, to real talk on the consequences of feeding bears, selfie culture, and ecological imbalance, this episode peels back the myths surrounding wildlife and urges us to reimagine how we share the planet.
    Banovich, with three decades of filming across Canada’s wilderness, reveals what bears have taught him about resilience, solitude, and soul. But it’s also a call to action—to slow down, protect migration corridors, and stop seeing wild animals as either threats or entertainment.
    If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to stand face to face with a grizzly—or what it might take to live in respectful coexistence—this conversation might just change the way you see your world.
