TIL armies of squirrels by the hundreds of millions used to migrate down the eastern seaboard in a terrifyingly adorable mass migration
Hundreds of years ago, squirrels would embark on mass migrations. Sadly, such odysseys exist only on a long list of extinct migrations today.

Animals are losing their ability to roam. But its not too late to preserve some of the incredible feats we have left.

From squirrels to newts, many animals have lost an incredible ability to roam vast distances. But researchers say there’s hope.

After Trump was elected, I started to wonder what could the grassroots, cities, and states do to move the needle on climate change without federal support. It turns out, a lot (gift link)

Federal progress on climate may stall, but city halls and statehouses are in a good position to build on recent gains.
