Alexandra Morel, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, will discuss environmental change, focusing on the critical role of forests. Her extensive research spans tropical forests globally, from Malaysian Borneo to Ethiopia.

Dr. Morel's work explores the intersection of tropical forest ecology and smallholder agriculture, including the ecological limits of poverty alleviation (ecolimits.org). She also investigates the vital role of intact forests in providing global ecosystem services (eci.ox.ac.uk/if21/). A central theme in her research is understanding how forests mitigate and support adaptation to climate change.

Center staff recently visited the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve near Mexico City, witnessing millions of eastern monarchs overwintering. These butterflies are now stirring, preparing for their great migration in March.

The annual count revealed an astounding 225 million monarchs, a 144% increase from last year and the highest since 2006, largely due to favorable weather. This breathtaking sight moves many to tears.

Despite this increase, continued existence requires more protection for these migratory wonders and their habitats from pesticides, climate change, and destruction. Witnessing this spectacle strengthens our resolve to save them.

The Great Australian Bight, a pristine wilderness and one of the world's last unexploited areas, is a vital treasure. It hosts thriving coastal communities, whale sanctuaries, and more unique marine life than the Great Barrier Reef.

However, this incredible ecosystem faces severe threats from dangerous and experimental oil drilling and seismic blasting.

It's crucial for all who care about our climate, oceans, and way of life to protect our Southern coastline. Join us in making oil history: act.gp/makeoilhistory

Atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe's research highlights the Arctic's significant potential for dangerous climate feedback. However, the primary concern isn't the melting ice itself.

Instead, the danger lies in the vast fossil fuel resources that would become accessible with sea ice loss. Exploiting these reserves would inevitably lead to the complete failure of the Paris Agreement.
