The Center’s Laiken Jordahl recently discussed the looming threat of a border wall through Big Bend National Park on NPR’s Studio 1A. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued the largest wall construction contract in American history for this region.

A wall would transform this remote park into an industrial zone, severing wildlife from vital water sources and blocking public access to the Rio Grande, effectively ending river recreation.

We've been on the front lines, suing DHS last month to stop construction in Big Bend. We are committed to its permanent protection. Please share this message to raise awareness and support our ongoing efforts.

New video from a remote camera in southern Arizona's Sky Islands captured a rare jaguar, "Cinco," moving through the area in March and April, alongside bears and mountain lions. First filmed in 2025, this sighting underscores the jaguar's rightful place, despite threats like border wall construction, mining, and drought. Jaguars, the world's third-largest cats, once ranged extensively across the U.S. Southwest.

Indonesia is a key focus of our 30 Cities Program, with planned deployments in Jakarta, Denpasar (Bali), and Tasikmalaya (West Java). The country already hosts our first river Interceptor, 001, in Jakarta’s Cengkareng Drain, and Interceptor 020 in the Cisadane River. Since deploying Interceptor 001 in 2019, we've partnered with local authorities and communities, adapting solutions to scale operations. Interceptor 020 exemplifies this adaptive approach, providing crucial insights for future efforts in Indonesia and worldwide.

In Baidoa, FAO and the European Union, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, established market-oriented greenhouse gardens for women vegetable producers. These greenhouses enable year-round production of high-value crops through efficient irrigation, increasing yields and incomes. The gardens also serve as learning hubs, building practical skills in protected agriculture and agribusiness, reinforcing women’s roles in local food systems and household livelihoods.

The Strait of Hormuz has been closed since February 28, halting vessel traffic and creating an emerging supply gap. This critical waterway previously handled 30-35% of global crude oil, 20% of natural gas, and up to 30% of internationally traded fertilizers.

While existing stocks currently prevent immediate food price hikes, continued closure will lead to higher energy, fertilizer, and commodity prices by late 2026/2027. Farmers face increased input costs, requiring urgent support, especially for low-income, import-dependent nations. This global disruption, exacerbated by potential export restrictions, demands timely diplomatic and policy interventions to avert a global food crisis.

Rift Valley fever (RVF), a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease, severely impacts livestock, human health, food security, and livelihoods. Recent outbreaks in Senegal, Mauritania, and The Gambia necessitate strengthened preparedness and a coordinated One Health approach across North and West Africa.

The FAO, through EMPRES-AH, supports countries in early warning and rapid response. A two-part webinar series for animal health stakeholders will share outbreak lessons, discuss One Health strategies, explore risk mitigation, and outline available FAO support.

Palestinian youth, especially young women, face alarmingly high unemployment and poverty. Limited job opportunities and a mismatch between education and labor market needs hinder access to decent work, impacting purchasing power and food security.

The FAO, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and funded by Denmark, is tackling this by promoting sustainable "green" jobs in the agrifood sector. The project strengthens youth skills, supports green enterprises, and engages various partners to empower young women and men in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This fosters decent employment, builds resilience, and contributes to a sustainable agrifood system.

Theophilus Delali Dumenyo, a Young Forest Champion from Ghana, credits the FAO elearning Academy for significantly enhancing his technical knowledge in forest monitoring and biodiversity conservation. The digital badges he earned strengthened his professional profile, opened opportunities for partnerships with NGOs, and supported his work empowering smallholder farmers.

He highlights the global importance of free, accessible learning for young professionals. Learn more at the FAO website, subscribe on YouTube, or follow FAO on social media: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter, and Weibo.

This talk explores Sunset Crater, Arizona's youngest volcano, erupted 940 years ago, impacting the Sinagua people. Geologist Dr. Jeffrey Meyer will share its story and his work mapping the unique Bonito lava flow, notable for traveling uphill.

Understanding this flow aids hazard prediction and interpreting past flows on Earth, the Moon, and other planets. Dr. Meyer, a retired geology instructor, became curious about the Bonito flow, leading to detailed mapping via Lidar.

In spring 2024, the Center for Biological Diversity petitioned the Fish and Wildlife Service to protect Wilson's phalaropes under the Endangered Species Act. These dainty shorebirds, known for spectacular congregations at Western salt lakes like Utah's Great Salt Lake, face imminent collapse due to climate change and other human-caused threats.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit, uses science, law, and media to protect species and their habitats. Believing human welfare is linked to nature's diversity, it works to secure a future for all life.
