This collection of humans represent the 25 states of the US Climate Alliance. They're probably smiling so much because together they have cut emissions 24% while growing GDP 34%. Collectively they also represent over half of America’s population and 60% of its economy.

"It represents more than the restoration of land — it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked." Ojibwe land returned to by the Catholic Sisters in historic atonement for the Church’s boarding-school past.

For 100 years no salmon swam in the Klamath River, strangled as it was by dams. Now they swim again. A blip in species time. A huge hole in human time. Now repaired.

"Death-ball", the carnivorous sponge. Just one of the 30 new wonders recently discovery in the very deep depths of the Southern Ocean. Creatures with hooks, armour and glow-in-the-dark flair. A carnival of pure deep-sea anarchy.

How do you get over the problem of overfishing? Find a way to align profits and protection. At least, that's how it has been almost entirely stopped in the territorial waters of the United States thanks to an unlikely alliance of fishermen and environmentalists.

The ultimate way to stop poachers is to cut their profits. China’s 2018 ivory trade ban has proven to do just that. A new peer-reviewed study in Biological Conservation reports that the ban led to a roughly 50% fall in elephant poaching across 43 countries.

Cape York. Two words uttered by Captain Cook in 1770. They settled on a vast area of land, claiming it for the Crown. 255 years on, that spell is undone. One million hectares of the Cape now formally belong to the Guugu Yimidhirr, Yiithuwarra and Wuthathi peoples.
