Rangers around the world sacrifice comfort, safety, and sometimes even their lives.

For more than a decade, Emmanuel Bahati Lukoo has dedicated his life to protecting the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. From surviving demanding training to becoming the lone survivor of a deadly 2018 ambush, his journey is one of extraordinary resilience, courage, and unwavering commitment to conservation.

In his new book, Conservation at the Cost of My Youth: The Survival of a Ranger, Emmanuel shares the reality of life on the frontlines of conservation. His story is a powerful reminder that protecting nature also means supporting the people who risk everything to protect it.

As communities across the DRC navigate ongoing violent conflict and a devastating Ebola outbreak, Emmanuel's story highlights the extraordinary resilience of the rangers who continue to protect the country's forests and wildlife under the most challenging circumstances.

What does it mean to live in a city that prioritizes pavement over parks?

L.A. just ranked 93rd out of 100 cities for park access — the lowest it's ever scored. In the inaugural piece for Neighbors: A Living Infrastructure Magazine, writer Alissa Walker explores the city on foot, imagining where new parks could thrive and what it would take to turn concrete into communal green space.

What she found wasn't just absence. It was potential: cracked asphalt sprouting wildflowers, flooded alleys, and vacant lots quietly doing the work parks are supposed to do.

The piece prompts us to reflect: where could the city grow? Could L.A. reclaim a stretch of Wilshire Boulevard? Turn an abandoned strip-mall lot into green space? Green enough schoolyards to push park access above 87% — almost overnight?

A victory for Indigenous rights, lands and waters in British Columbia

For years, the Tsetsaut Skii km Lax Ha (TSKLH) Nation has been fighting to protect its territory from a proposed gold mine that would be among the largest in the world.

On one side: a small Indigenous Nation. On the other: the government of British Columbia and billion-dollar mining company Seabridge Gold.

Despite extensive historical evidence confirming that the area designated for the mine's waste facilities lies within TSKLH territory, the province moved forward without properly consulting the Nation.

So TSKLH took British Columbia to court.

Now, after months of waiting, the B.C. Supreme Court has ruled: the province breached its constitutional duty to appropriately consult the TSKLH Nation.

British Columbia must now return to the consultation process and give the Nation an opportunity to be heard before moving forward.

The Tsetsaut Skii km Lax Ha Nation may be small, but it refused to be ignored. It stood up for its territory, culture, wildlife and future.
Now, British Columbia must return to the consultation process and listen.

The world will be watching.

Officials in Utah’s Box Elder county have approved one of the world’s largest AI data centers--more than twice the size of Manhattan--on the shores of the Great Salt Lake, threatening one of North America's most important ecosystems and the local communities and wildlife that depend on it.

The proposed Stratos project would require 9 gigawatts of electricity, more power than the entire state of Utah currently uses. It would be built over 40,000 acres of desert rangeland that provides critical wildlife habitat. Yet despite this and the fact that members of the public submitted more than 4,000 objections to the project, county officials approved it anyhow.

The Great Salt Lake is already in crisis. Excessive water use, primarily for animal agriculture, has reduced the lake by nearly 60% in just four decades. As the shoreline recedes, millions of migratory birds lose vital habitat and winds carry toxic dust from the exposed lakebed into nearby communities. Scientists and local conservationists warn that a project of this scale could further accelerate the lake’s decline.

The concerns go beyond water. Experts warn the facility could increase pollution by as much as 50% while adding significant new energy demand to the region.

The race to build AI infrastructure cannot come at the expense of irreplaceable ecosystems.

Nature has never fit neatly into boxes.

From countless expressions of s*x and reproduction to cooperative relationships that defy simple categories, nature is far more expansive than the rigid binaries we have created.

Q***r ecology is our reminder that we must look at our world with fresh eyes in order to see the diversity, adaptation and interdependence that exists at every level of our ecosystem.

We cannot protect our planet without embracing the many ways life flourishes and celebrating the beauty of biodiversity both in nature and in each other.

As Pride month wraps up, celebrate q***r ecology all year with Earth Alliance by learning more at our link in bio. 🌈🌱

Earlier this month, thousands of people gathered in Juneau for Celebration, a massive biennial festival honoring and perpetuating Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures. Over 1,800 dancers from 34 dance groups from all over Alaska — including two new groups from Hawaii and New Zealand — joined for the 44th event, organized by Sealaska Heritage Institute (SHI).

Celebration began in 1982 as a way for Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian Peoples of Southeast Alaska to gather and celebrate their cultural survival.

Prior to European contact, the Indigenous peoples of the Northwest Coast held rich traditions of song, dance, storytelling, feasting, and ceremony. Following centuries of colonial policies and forced assimilation, many cultural practices were at risk. As a response, SHI and Native Elders created Celebration as a gathering for Indigenous Peoples to share and revitalize their cultures for future generations.

SHI President Rosita Worl said that Celebration is a chance to “rejoice in the timeless strength of our people as evidenced over the thousands of years we’ve faced adversity with resilience and fortitude”.

Along with dance performances, Celebration 2026 featured several events, including a Juried Art Show and Competition, a Native Art Market, Native food contests, and a parade through downtown Juneau.

The Pantanal is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet and the world's largest tropical wetland. Located mostly within the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Mato Grosso, extending into portions of Bolivia and Paraguay, the Pantanal's future is far from guaranteed.

As the climate crisis intensifies and human pressures reshape the landscape, the people working to protect this vast wetland are facing unprecedented challenges. Their stories reveal not only what is at stake, but also what is possible when communities, scientists, and local leaders come together in defense of a place they love.

Through breathtaking landscapes and firsthand accounts, the film PANTANAL invites us to discover a place that sustains millions of lives, yet remains largely invisible to the wider world.

While it remains out of sight, a mining conglomerate seeks to transform the Pantanal's rivers into an industrial shipping route for iron ore and soybeans, requiring dredging and straightening that would disrupt the flood cycles that keep the wetland alive. On June 5th, communities whose lives would be directly affected by the proposed hydroway will make their voices heard.

Fish farms have a dirty little secret.

A new report found that Norway’s salmon farms are polluting coastal waters with waste equivalent to the raw sewage of tens of millions of people every single year.

Open-net fish farms dump uneaten feed, f***s, urine, and excess nutrients directly into the ocean drastically altering marine ecosystems and fueling concerns over toxic algal blooms, oxygen depletion, and collapsing biodiversity.

Although Norway’s population hovers around 5.5 million people, as the largest farmed salmon producer in the world, its aquaculture pollution is reportedly 3–5x larger than the country’s population equivalent.

Head to the link in our bio to read the full article and learn more about the hidden environmental cost of farmed fish.
