Large herbivores—such as bison and elk—have continuously lived in the Yellowstone National Park region for at least 2,300 years, according to a new analysis of chemicals preserved in lake sediments. How have they made their livings and survived for so long?

Big, beautiful and brimming with life, Borneo is a “biological treasure chest,” says Court Whelan, Chief Sustainability Officer at Natural Habitat Adventures.

I like to think of biodiversity as a symphony orchestra, where each note, each instrument—every single part—is needed to make the whole. In the concert called “biodiversity,” then, every species, from microscopic life to towering trees and vast oceans, plays a vital role.

By Andrea Norgren, Senior Manager of Communications at World Wildlife Fund’s Global Arctic Program My trip to southeastern Greenland in August was an eye-opening experience. Its stark contrasts showcased the beauty and fragility of this remote region. Southeastern Greenland, including the Sermilik Fjord, where we were for many days, is a dramatic testament to the Earth’s past.

Around the world, the variety of living things—defined as biodiversity—is declining, as increasing numbers of species face the risk of extinction.

Sea otters can be a powerful ally in confronting climate change, according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. In places where they’re thriving, they can maintain and restore kelp forests and coastal wetlands, strengthening our natural defenses against the worst impacts of a warming world.

Our Shared Canvas “We need joy as we need air. We need love as we need water. We need each other as we need the Earth we share.” – Maya Angelou Some truths are universal. No matter who we are or where we come from, we depend on the same planet.

Our impacts on the natural world can be very large—and often detrimental. This manifests in various ways, including in biodiversity loss, climate change, habitat destruction and pollution. These changes can have cascading effects on ecosystems and human societies, leading to a range of challenges.
Antarctica & Arctic
Part of the reason that I’m so enthralled with Antarctica is because it’s one of the rare places on Earth that has never had an Indigenous population; in other words, there are no native human Antarcticans. Of course, animals other than us have lived there for eons. Perhaps, the best known and most abundant are penguins.

What if all the biodiversity on Earth followed a surprisingly simple pattern? There is a universal rule that applies to everything from dragonflies to forests.

By Stephanie Lee, WWF Program Coordinator, Alaska To me, traveling is meant to expand one’s view of the world. It is to see new things, meet new people and come home with a better understanding of how we’re all connected. Going to East Greenland with Nat Hab fulfilled all those expectations with a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
