Bongo Love, a sculptor from Zimbabwe, stands among his wooden sculptures at his studio outside Boulder, Colo. Using a chainsaw, Love carves giant sculptures of owls, wolves, eagles, and more.

This week on Regional Roundup, we meet a chainsaw sculptor from Zimbabwe who now calls Colorado home. We hear from a community fighting for better athletic facilities in their region, we get an update on the Navajo Nation's efforts to return tribal members lured to fraudulent treatment centers in Phoenix, and we learn about the melting of permafrost and sea ice.

Contributors to this week's show include Ellen Mahone, KOTO's Gavin McGough, KSUT Tribal Radio's Crystal Ashike.
