After Hurricane Irma flooded Miami in 2017, Will Charouhis founded We Are Forces of Nature, a youth-led climate group. It focuses on providing climate adaptation and mitigation strategies for coastal areas, particularly through mangrove conservation.

The group launched A Million Mangroves, an initiative that cleans, plants, and researches mangroves to improve restoration success. Charouhis, 17, also pioneers research at Miami's Seaquarium on mangrove species resilience to ocean acidification and warming.

He has shared his findings at UN climate conferences, aiming to increase global restoration efforts. His organization has educated 2,500 youth in 16 countries and is involved in collaborative mangrove restoration in Central Africa.

Whale biologists have documented the first-ever sperm whale birth, a powerful event captured by Shane Gero and the Project CETI team in the Caribbean. Gero, who has studied this specific whale family for nearly 20 years, observed an unusual gathering of 11 female whales during the birth.

The newborn was kept safe on the family's backs and heads for hours. Audio data revealed the whales transitioned from quiet to simultaneously "talking" with morse-code-like clicks, suggesting a celebration. Gero remarked, "It's hard not to see it as a celebration."

Dr. Morgan Levine, author of "True Age," outlines three dietary factors for longevity: quantity, quality, and timing. Caloric restriction (a 20% reduction) has shown lifespan benefits in animals, possibly by preventing overeating. A plant-based diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods while limiting animal products and refined sugars, is also beneficial. Fasting, or time-restricted eating, may mimic caloric restriction benefits via 'hormesis,' boosting resilience to aging.

Optimal diet is individual, influenced by genetics and age, and should be monitored via biological age and well-being. Dr. Levine, a former Yale professor now at Altos Labs, researches aging systems. For more, watch "The science of super longevity" or read the transcript on Big Think.

Amara Ifeji, 20, recognized the lack of environmental opportunities in marginalized communities. In 2018, she began facilitating environmental learning for students of color. She later became a director for the Maine Environmental Changemakers Network, an intergenerational group of 400+ youth promoting a just, inclusive, and equitable environmental movement.

Amara elevates youth voices in state and federal policy. In 2021, she coordinated Maine’s first climate education summit, gathering young people’s visions. This led to her helping create and implement a bill funding over $2 million for climate education in the state. Learn more at broweryouthawards.org.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an adventure across the Great Plains, exploring the vital connection between species. He assists Native American tribes in re-establishing bison herds, a keystone species that once shaped the ecosystem. Historically, bison were nearly wiped out by western expansion, devastating both the plains and tribal cultures that depended on them.

The loss of bison had ripple effects, impacting predators, scavengers, and species like black-footed ferrets. Conservationists, led by the Intertribal Buffalo Council, are working to restore at least ten large herds. This effort not only revitalizes the environment but also helps Native American communities reconnect with their cultural heritage, ensuring the survival of the Great Plains ecosystem.

Join host Jeff Corwin on "Wildlife Nation" as he connects with amazing North American mammals facing significant conservation challenges. From the remote forests of New England to the waterways of Florida, Corwin highlights efforts to protect these diverse creatures.

He assists with orphaned baby black bears, meets manatees threatened by habitat loss, and helps veterinarians rehabilitate injured opossums. Teaming with Defenders of Wildlife, Corwin celebrates the dedicated conservationists working to save America's wildlife. You're invited to join the adventure.

Chetan Singh Solanki, dubbed the "Solar Man of India," champions sustainability through his "Energy Swaraj" lifestyle. He is currently on a 10-year "Energy Swaraj Yatra," living on a solar bus to inspire a public movement towards 100% solar energy adoption. His book, "Energy Swaraj—My Experiments with SOLAR Truth," details his approach to combating climate change.

An educator and innovator, Solanki founded the Energy Swaraj Foundation and led IIT Bombay's SoULS project, providing clean energy to 7.5 million families. He has earned numerous accolades, including the Prime Minister's Innovation Award and three Guinness World Records, and is a prolific author and researcher.
