Guatemala's third largest export, coffee, thrives on the country's mountainous slopes. However, changing rainfall, rising temperatures, and a fungus called "coffee rust" threaten this vital crop

Guatemala's third largest export, coffee, thrives on the country's mountainous slopes. However, changing rainfall, rising temperatures, and a fungus called "coffee rust" threaten this vital crop and the livelihoods of indigenous farmers in the region.

Scientists believe they have found a way to ensure climate models are correct, which might help these farmers adapt. Filmmaker Mari Cleven interviews researchers Diego Pons and Kevin Anchukaitis about their work in the informative short film, "Climate Research Offers Coffee Farmers Hope For Their Crops."

National Geographic Explorer Carlton Ward Jr. and a coalition document the critical fight to save the Florida panther and the Everglades from ecological collapse. Their film, "Path of the Panther," is the culmination of over five years of field research and unprecedented footage, capturing wild panthers as never before. This project inspired the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act, a groundbreaking blueprint for global habitat conservation.

"Path of the Panther" premiered in over 40 Florida theaters on February 24, 2023. It will air on National Geographic and stream on Disney+ this spring.
