As global urbanization accelerates, affordable housing has become a critical concern. Dr. Joan Clos, Executive Director of UN-Habitat, advocates for housing to be central to urban planning, design, and overall strategy. This emphasis is crucial for addressing the affordable housing challenge.

Affordability, as defined in a recent MGI report, represents the financial burden a household bears—typically 30-40% of its income. This information was published March 19, 2015.

Dozens of Tasmanian shy albatrosses have received artificial nests to combat declining breeding success, a consequence of warming air temperatures. Scientists placed aerated concrete and mudbrick nests on Bass Strait’s Albatross Island, where birds struggle to find enough natural nesting material. These artificial nests provide a stable environment, boosting breeding success by 20% compared to natural nests.

For more details on this conservation effort, read the National Geographic article: Shy Albatross Make Artificial Nests Their Own—Giving Scientists Hope for Their Species, and watch the video: Artificial Nests Helping the Shy Albatross Battle Climate Change.

For a dopamine boost, watch baby kit fox siblings frolicking near a California den site on Instagram or YouTube. These tiny foxes—North America’s smallest native canines—frequently move den sites to evade predators, using over 60 different dens annually.

For decades, the Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit, has fought to save these foxes from habitat loss, oil and gas development, and other threats. We believe human welfare is deeply linked to nature, working through science, law, and creative media to protect species and their habitats, ensuring a wild world for future generations.
