On June 21, 2017, the summer solstice and National Aboriginal Day, Turtle Lodge Elders and representatives from the Original Nations lit a sacred fire at Manitou Api. The flame was brought to Winnipeg, where Elder Dave Courchene lit the Centennial Flame at the Manitoba Legislative Building. It will burn for one year, inspiring the province and nation.

This sacred flame launched the 2017 Canada Games torch run in Manitoba and later lit the Games' cauldron.

A video for the Canada Games was created by Patrick Roberge, PRP Inc. Acknowledgements go to the Elders for their vision and to Barry Mathers for his hard work with the Canada Games and Turtle Lodge.

The question of how butterflies survive Australia's massive bushfires was answered in part by Julie Favell. Near Long Swamp in Lithgow, while putting out water for fire-affected wildlife, she witnessed common brown butterflies (Heteronympha merope) fluttering inside a moist wombat hole.

This observation suggests that natural underground shelters, offering damp and cooler conditions, provide vital refuge for some species during intense infernos.

Nevada stands on the frontlines of the extinction crisis, home to hundreds of unique, imperiled plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth. Species like the Mount Charleston blue butterfly, Dixie Valley toad, Devils Hole pupfish, and Tiehm’s buckwheat face severe threats.

A "Saving Life on Earth" webinar, featuring Nevada State Director Patrick Donnelly, explores how protecting these narrowly endemic species, utilizing the powerful Endangered Species Act, contributes to global conservation. Learn how the Center for Biological Diversity takes action against threats from ski-resort expansion, energy production, and pervasive groundwater overuse.

Discover how you can support the Center's vital work to save Nevada's rare flora, fauna, and their essential ecosystems.
