Vultures are essential. They find dead animals and strip them to the bone, removing a massive disease source. And while their favorite snacks would make other animals sick, vultures' powerful stomach acid can neutralize harmful bacteria and viruses.

Did you know that there are ~600k miles of fencing across the United States? And that doesn’t even include backyards or neighborhoods.

For reference, that’s enough wire to wrap around the planet nearly TWENTY FOUR times. And yet, most of it isn’t even mapped.

Happy birthday to Yvon Chouinard.

Climber, angler, founder of Patagonia, and someone who’s spent a lifetime asking hard questions about how we live and work. He’s never been interested in doing things the usual way, and we're proud to be a part of his legacy.

In northern Kenya, elephant migration routes are etched across generations, connecting dry‑season watering holes, forests, and grasslands.

But those ancient paths are closing in. Roads, fences, and developments slice through the landscape, turning safe passage into a gamble.

Marine heatwaves are more than a surface-level problem. A new study reveals that they disrupt the entire machinery of the ocean's carbon cycle. As plankton populations shift and predator-prey relationships break down, the ocean's ability to capture and store carbon weakens (1/2)

In 2017, Oroville Dam came within inches of catastrophic failure. The main spillway, intended to be built on solid bedrock, was poured over loose rock and soil. When torrential rain hit, it cracked open, and nearly 200k people downstream were ordered to evacuate.
