This week on "Voices of Taos," editor Geoffrey Plant talks with Dr. Richard Rubin, a retired physician, author and volunteer steward at the historic Aldo Leopold House. 

Dr. Rubin recently submitted a My Turn opinion piece entitled 'Compassion for chupacabras,' in which he discusses how we can use the folklore of the chupacabra —and its real-life explanation, a coyote suffering from mange —to better understand how mythology and ecology can coexist.

Geoffrey and Richard also discuss the legacy of Aldo Leopold and the home he built for he and his wife, Estella, in Tres Piedras. The house is now an ecology education center and is also available for camping rental.
