Endangered Blanding's turtle hatchlings begin their journey into the wild. These turtles can live 80 years, but their population is critically threatened by predation, disease, habitat destruction, and human collection.

In 2011, a Center petition secured CITES protection for Blanding's turtles. The Center, joined by renowned scientists like E.O. Wilson, further petitioned in 2012 for U.S. Endangered Species Act protection for the turtle and 52 other threatened amphibians and reptiles.

While not yet federally protected in the U.S., Blanding's turtles are safeguarded by state laws in several states.

Forest gardens offer a sustainable agroforestry model, mimicking natural ecosystems by combining diverse edible plants like fruit trees, shrubs, and vegetables in a seemingly wild setting. UK

Forest gardens offer a sustainable agroforestry model, mimicking natural ecosystems by combining diverse edible plants like fruit trees, shrubs, and vegetables in a seemingly wild setting. UK pioneer Martin Crawford transformed a flat field into such a garden in 1994, now an educational resource. A short film by Thomas Regnault highlights Crawford's abundant and diverse forest garden as a potential answer for future food systems. Watch the film: A Forest Garden With 500 Edible Plants Could Lead to a Sustainable Future.

Natural ecosystems are vital for planetary cooling, but effective solutions demand a holistic understanding of the organisms regulating our climate. The Crowther Lab, led by Professor Thomas Crowther, digitally explores the biosphere using advanced data and AI. This research aims to reveal nature's full potential in combating climate change and biodiversity loss.

Unlike many labs, Crowther emphasizes a comprehensive approach to predict climate progression and develop nature-based solutions. As chief scientific advisor to the UN’s Trillion Tree Campaign, his work helps organizations make informed decisions and implement these crucial solutions. This innovative perspective was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
