Colorado Parks and Wildlife released five GPS-collared gray wolves (three males, two females) from Oregon into Grand County on December 18, 2023. This historic effort aims to reestablish a healthy wolf population, fulfilling a 2020 voter mandate.

Under a finalized restoration plan, the agency will release up to 10 more wolves by mid-March 2024 and 30-50 over the next three to five years. The Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit, advocates for the protection of all species and their habitats through science and law.

The critical work of our time is nature's restoration, yet over $2 trillion is spent annually on military operations and armaments. This global spending fuels wars, destroys cities and critical ecosystems, emits millions of tons of greenhouse gases, pollutes land and water, and exacerbates the climate crisis, increasing vulnerability to catastrophic floods, droughts, and diseases.

Military alliances are not the answer; the real battle is saving life on our planet, which requires us to stop destroying it. This vital discussion features Kati Juva (Co-President, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War) and Tamara Lorincz (environmental advocate, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace).

Angelina Xu, 17, founded a food recovery and composting program in 2018, addressing middle school food waste and insecurity. It collected unopened food for school food banks and sent cafeteria waste for composting. By 2021, her program became Compostology, a youth-led nonprofit now involving 35,000 participants managing 24 K-12 school programs across Maryland.

Compostology received a World Wildlife Fund grant in 2021. In 2023, a student campaign spearheaded by Compostology passed SB 124, allocating $1.25 million for K-12 schools to implement their own programs. Compostology is now rolling out this grant program, ensuring accessibility for all schools.

After graduating high school in Utah’s Davis County, Muskan Walia committed to climate justice. In 2020, collaborating with the Sierra Club Utah Chapter, she launched the Davis School District’s first student-led Clean Energy Schools Campaign. This initiative aims for 100% clean electricity by 2030 and all energy sectors by 2040. Walia and her team successfully passed a nationally recognized policy for energy efficiency and building upgrades, inspiring similar clean energy resolutions in other Utah school districts.

Walia, 21, also co-leads Utah Youth Environmental Solutions, a network activating youth for climate justice. She coordinates an annual curriculum that equips young people with the skills to organize clean energy campaigns in their schools and communities.

A new study reveals that snow flies amputate their own limbs to survive extreme cold. Scientists previously knew little about these flightless insects, which inhabit frigid, hard-to-reach alpine

A new study reveals that snow flies amputate their own limbs to survive extreme cold. Scientists previously knew little about these flightless insects, which inhabit frigid, hard-to-reach alpine areas.

Now, it's understood that if a leg freezes, these remarkable insects can remove it to prevent ice crystals from reaching their bodies and freezing vital organs. They then continue walking, demonstrating a unique survival mechanism.
