Deserts, often perceived as barren, host hundreds of unique species, many endemic or long-lived. Ethnobotanist Carrie Canon will discuss traditional Tribal plant uses, the distinctive flora of North American Deserts, and the Mojave's unique characteristics.

Carrie Calisay Cannon, of Kiowa, Oglala Lakota, and German heritage, holds degrees in Wildlife Biology and Resource Management. She is an Ethnobotanist for the Hualapai Indian Tribe and a lapidary/silversmith artist crafting Native Southwestern turquoise jewelry.

Explore our latest documentary showcasing Earth Guardians' global mission to restore critical forest ecosystems. Since 2015, we've protected forests worldwide, now focusing on reforesting 10 hectares with 20,000 trees in Tagba, Togo. Beyond planting, our efforts empower Indigenous communities, safeguard biodiversity, and combat climate change for a brighter future.

Help us double our impact! The World Rainforest Fund will match donations up to $10,000 for our Tagba project. Donate today and join us in planting hope for generations to come: GoFundMe. Learn more or become an Earth Guardian: Earth Guardians.

The Center for Biological Diversity is actively opposing "California Forever," a proposed 55,000-acre city in Solano County. This development threatens the climate crisis, existing communities, and approximately 130 rare animal and plant species.

Our recent webinar detailed the project's potential impacts on local wildlife, residents, groundwater, air quality, and California's climate commitments. We advocate for smarter land-use policies prioritizing community and environmental health. Explore more: Solano Together, Center's California Forever work, and "The True Cost of Sprawl" report.

Princeton Bioethics professor Peter Singer, author of "Animal Liberation Now," challenges our factory food systems and the psychology behind them. He examines ethical dilemmas concerning animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and speciesism, advocating for a shift towards ethical eating.

Singer proposes plant-based diets and cultured meat as sustainable alternatives, emphasizing the importance of considering suffering. His influential work, which inspired effective altruism, encourages informed dietary choices for a more ethical and sustainable future.

Join world-renowned researcher Dr. Alberto Burquez for a free presentation on giant columnar cacti, including Arizona's iconic saguaros. Dr. Burquez will detail his research on their evolutionary history, ecology, adaptations to the Sonoran Desert, and the effects of climate change.

A researcher at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Dr. Burquez is a co-author of "The Saguaro Cactus: A Natural History" and an expert in columnar cacti population ecology and genetics. His work also covers plant-animal relationships and land-use change in the Sonoran Desert.

The Endangered Species Act celebrates 50 years as one of the strongest laws for species protection, having saved 99% of those under its care. It has fully recovered species like bald eagles and gray whales, and is more vital than ever with millions facing extinction.

The Center for Biological Diversity is a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit. We believe human welfare is deeply linked to nature's diversity. Through science, law, and media, we work to secure a future for all species by protecting the lands, waters, and climate they need.

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.
