A crisis is unfolding off the U.S. West Coast as migrating whales become entangled in Dungeness crab fishing gear. Once entangled, whales drag heavy traps and lines for weeks or months, enduring severe wounds.

These entanglements cause deep cuts, infection, and disease, making it difficult for whales to swim, feed, and breathe. This often leads to their death. Join Oceana to help protect whales from these deadly entanglements off California, Oregon, and Washington.

An interview was conducted with key representatives from international organizations. Participants included Sylwester Laskowski (National Institute of Telecommunications, Poland), Iris Pretel (INICTEL, Peru), Atul Sinha (Ministry of Communications, India), and Sandrea Maynard (University of the West Indies, Barbados).

The discussion centered on how being part of the ITU Academy Training Centre (ATC) programme helps them deliver impactful capacity development.

De Winton's golden mole, an iridescent, sand-swimming creature, has been rediscovered in South Africa after being presumed lost since 1937. Threatened by diamond and mineral mining, these elusive moles were confirmed through environmental DNA analysis and the help of a specialized mole-sniffing border collie.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting all species and their habitats, supports such vital conservation efforts. Read an interview with a rediscovery scientist and watch a video about the moles. For more information on the Center's work, visit their website.

Pronghorn, often called "speed goats" or "antelope," are North America's fastest land animals, reaching over 55mph. This unique species, neither goat nor antelope, relies on speed and eyesight to survive on the plains. Despite their iconic status, pronghorn populations are declining in many areas, including the Verde Valley.

Join Forest Service biologists Janie Agyagos and Francisco Anaya for a Speaker Series talk. Discover pronghorn biology, from life history to threats like rangeland fences. Learn about current management tools, including tracking movement and ensuring fences are wildlife-friendly. Janie has 30 years of experience as a wildlife biologist with the US Forest Service, while Francisco manages wildlife for Prescott National Forest.

The #KeepOceansFishy event recently highlighted the Gullah/Geechee Seafood Festival, held last month on Hunting Island, SC. This initiative draws attention to the remarkable history and heritage of the Gullah/Geechee people.

Residing on the Sea Islands of the Southeast coast, the Gullah/Geechee have sustained treasured West African traditions and a unique way of life since European colonization. Their profound cultural impact on our coast is undeniable.

Learn how to help protect Gullah/Geechee seafood traditions and ensure our oceans remain vibrant and fishy.

Industrial logging in Oregon's coastal mountains has replaced old-growth forests with monocrop plantations, releasing greenhouse gases, decimating biodiversity, and severely harming rivers through pollution and habitat destruction. This environmental degradation contributes to a severe crisis for salmon and steelhead across Washington, Oregon, and California.

Hundreds of salmonid populations have been destroyed, and remaining ones are critically endangered, with Pacific salmon numbers down by 98-99%. Urgent action is vital for their survival: protect forests by stopping industrial logging, remove dams and restore aquatic habitats, halt commercial fishing and pollution, and stabilize global warming.

Wildfires are distressing, yet a biocentric perspective reveals they are primarily climate-driven, not fuel-driven. This means landscape-scale forest thinning and prescribed burns are largely ineffective at reducing fire spread or intensity, a view supported by experts like George Wuerthner.

Fires are often used as an excuse for logging, whether for "fuels management" or "salvage." However, burned forests are vital carbon sinks and biodiverse habitats that should be allowed to recover naturally, as logging is detrimental.

Join Jeff Corwin as he explores climate change impacts, from California's drought-stricken Sierra Nevada and the Caldor Fire's aftermath, where he meets firefighters, to Washington State. There, he highlights conservation efforts for the resourceful American beaver and the endangered Pygmy rabbit.

In Washington, Corwin joins the Tulalip Beaver Project, which humanely relocates beavers from conflict areas. Beavers are vital ecosystem engineers, building dams that increase water storage, filter pollutants, promote biodiversity, and create crucial salmon habitat. Nearly hunted to extinction, these resilient animals are now recovering, with the Tulalip Tribal Community leading successful wildlife management and research efforts.
