As climate change worsens wildfires in the American West, National Geographic photographer Kiliii Yuyan introduces Indigenous groups in the Klamath Basin. They are reviving cultural burning practices, ancient methods that effectively controlled fires for centuries, offering a crucial way to mitigate catastrophic events.

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.

In spring 2024, the Center for Biological Diversity petitioned the Fish and Wildlife Service to protect Wilson's phalaropes under the Endangered Species Act. These dainty shorebirds, known for spectacular congregations at Western salt lakes like Utah's Great Salt Lake, face imminent collapse due to climate change and other human-caused threats.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit, uses science, law, and media to protect species and their habitats. Believing human welfare is linked to nature's diversity, it works to secure a future for all life.

Join the NHI Speaker Series for "The Brothers Boutelou and the Grass they Barely Knew" with Debbie DeWolf Allen. This talk explores the fascinating origin of the genus name for Blue Grama Grass, *Bouteloua gracilis*. While botanical names often describe plants, some honor individuals. Discover the tale behind Bouteloua, intertwining two 18th-century Spanish gardeners, an enlightened king, a New World expedition, and botanical drawings lost for nearly 200 years.

Debbie DeWolf Allen, a Master Gardener and author of "Common Grasses of the Central Arizona Highlands," will guide this journey through botany, history, and exploration. Her field guide is available at the Natural History Institute.
