In prepandemic times, those of us who cherish wildlife and wild places tried to quantify them in economic terms, hoping to convince those who didn’t care about protecting nature that not doing so would impact their bottom lines. Now, 10 months after the coronavirus outbreak, that strategy seems naive to me.

Ellen and I have been fortunate to travel widely and see a world beyond where we live. Our recent trip to Greenland certainly ranks high on our list of favorites. It was remote. It was wild. Its ancient culture is being challenged by modern society. It is quiet, and it is beautiful.

Much like us, other animals have “languages” that they use in order to communicate with members of their own species. For example, prairie dogs have developed different “words” to describe various predators—barks, squeals and squeaks that contain different numbers of rhythmic chirps and frequency modulations to distinguish which one is currently after them.

“I recently returned from Nat Hab’s Swimming with Mexico’s Whale Sharks excursion. Until I visited this Caribbean paradise, I had no idea that sea and sky could simultaneously produce so many shades of blue! It is my time with the whale sharks, however, that will be forever etched in both my memory and heart.
