Loving Joshua Tree, an episode of Earth Focus that debuted in April on PBS SoCal, examines many of the issues MBCA regularly follows. The approximately half-hour video focuses on Joshua Tree National Park and its growing popularity and visitation due to social media; the desert's biodiversity and wildlife; the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act; and issues of short-term rentals and local housing needs. Interviewees include many folks well-known to MBCA supporters, including Chris Clarke (Desert Advocacy Media Network), Frazier Haney (The Wildlands Conservancy), and Park Superintendent Jane Rodgers. Additional perspectives come from Laura Crane (Nature Conservancy); Alicia Pike (Chris Clarke's former partner on the 90 Miles from Needles podcast); Glen Steigelman & Steve Halterman, proprietors of The Station in Joshua Tree; local journalist and STR owner Hilary Sloane; and Crossroads Cafe restaurant employee Tiffany Hopkins. MBCA is mentioned in Chris Clarke's comments about our impact on the development of AutoCamp starting at timestamp 20:42.
