NPR Privacy PolicyMon, 04 Mar 2024 - 2669 - The Sunday Story: How to Save the Everglades
Why is it so complicated to save the Everglades?
The Everglades is home to the largest mangrove ecosystem in the western hemisphere and a sanctuary for over three dozen endangered and threatened species. It also provides fresh water, flood control, and a buffer against hurricanes and rising seas for about 9 million Floridians.
But climate change, pollution, agriculture and rapid development are causing potentially irreversible damage.
In 2000, the state of Florida and the federal government struck an extraordinary deal to save the Everglades. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan was the largest ecosystem restoration project in the world.
But from the moment it was signed into law, things got complicated.
Now almost 25 years later, the Everglades is as endangered as ever, and the problems have become even more difficult—and expensive—to solve.
Today on The Sunday Story, Ayesha Rascoe talks with WLRN'sJenny Staletovich. Jenny has a new podcast series out called Bright Lit Placethat tells the dramatic story of the Everglades, what's been done to the ecosystem, and what needs to happen to save it.

NPR Privacy PolicyMon, 26 Feb 2024 - 2662 - The Sunday Story: The Diaspora's Troubled African Dream
In the sleepy town of Asebu, a few miles inland from the Atlantic along Ghana's Cape Coast, a serene 5,000 acre rural settlement is rising out of the palm forests and farmland.
Pan-African Village is envisioned as an idyllic haven for settlers from the African diaspora. It was established in 2019, after a local chief announced that anyone from the diaspora could have plots for free. Hundreds of people, largely from North America and the Caribbean, have accepted the offer and are in the midst of building large homes.
They regard themselves as the first wave of settlers, carving a new life in their ancestral homeland, devoid of racism and repression. But while locals have tentatively welcomed returning diaspora, Ghana is also experiencing some of the worst economic conditions in decades. In Pan-African Village, brewing tensions over ownership and privileged access to the land are threatening to spill over into violence and unravel the promise of this diaspora haven.
This week on The Sunday Story, producer Andrew Mambo speaks with Emmanuel Akinwotu, NPR's West Africa Correspondent, about the complicated relationship between the diaspora settlers and the place they see as their ancestral home.

NPR Privacy PolicyMon, 22 Jan 2024 - 2626 - The Sunday Story: When Hospitals Don't Say Sorry
Medical errors happen all the time. They can be overlooked or they can lead to big lawsuits and settlements. But what they rarely lead to is an apology.

This week on The Sunday Story, we talk to Tradeoffs health reporters about a family with a nightmarish story of a what they say was a medical error, and a look at what's being done to keep others from suffering in the same way.
