A remotely operated submersible recently captured a rare video of a living juvenile colossal squid near the Atlantic Ocean's South Sandwich Islands. This foot-long creature, with a transparent body and glowing eyes, offers a glimpse of a species whose adults, never filmed alive, can reach 23 feet and weigh over 1,000 pounds, typically inhabiting Antarctic waters over 3,200 feet deep.

Asa Miller addresses the climate crisis by reconnecting with his ancestral homeland. He focuses on restoring a part of his native Cuba, a revolutionary step beyond data or technology.

A multi-award-winning marine conservationist and Youth Poet Laureate, Asa returned to Cuba to restore coral reefs. He found communities motivated by their love for the land, not paralyzed by climate change's injustices.

Asa shares the challenges and rewards of working with this under-resourced neighbor, offering valuable lessons for our own over-resourced world.

In 2024, the Klamath River dam removal marked a historic, Indigenous-led victory, achieving the largest river restoration ever. Blending Indigenous knowledge and modern science, the project shows remarkable early results: salmon are returning abundantly to spawning grounds inaccessible for a century.

Amy Bowers Cordalis of Ridges to Riffles Indigenous Conservation Group emphasizes Indigenous values and nature-based solutions from the Klamath. This approach heals land, water, and people while boosting the economy. Restoring the river as a living relative offers a vital path forward for all.
