Global warming and a century of misguided forest management policy have led to ever more devastating fire seasons across the Western states over recent years. To mitigate this unfolding disaster, we need an approach to forest management that emphasizes, first and foremost, creating and maintaining healthy, resilient forests.
In the final part of our series on marine protected areas we turn to an unusual underwater habitat in Puget Sound, where protections have succeeded in restoring once-depleted fish populations.
In one of the world’s most spectacular marine protection success stories, protections enabled an area of ocean off the Baja California Peninsula to recover from near-total destruction by human exploitation.
Continuing our series on MPAs around the world, we look at how protection of an “ecological crossroads” in the Gulf of Mexico has been instrumental in the recovery of local reef species populations.
