Rewilding progress in the Galápagos and around the world

Darcy Hitchcock

The Galápagos Islands are famous for unique species like the marine iguana. But Floreana Island lost many of their special species due to rats that likely came over on boats. So the community, nonprofits and the government are collaborating to remove nonnative species and reintroduce 13 native species from neighboring islands.

Efforts include protecting the Floreana giant tortoise which until recently had been thought to be extinct. That single creature can remake the land, eating this and not that, returning the island to a savanna, welcoming back other animals that belong there.

Similar efforts are happening around the world, people and nature collaborating for people and nature.

In Australia, reintroducing Tasmanian devils to the mainland will help engineer the entire ecosystem back to health and reduce the intensity of wildfires by helping native small mammals recover and forests to regenerate. In the Iberá wetlands of north-eastern Argentina, local communities have…

The UK COVID-19 Inquiry must examine the foundations of pandemic decision making – The Lancet

The UK Government’s regular pandemic press briefings have not used long COVID as an outcome to be factored in when communicating public health decisions. With sections of the government’s supporter base tending towards scepticism over COVID-19 control measures,

it was not only that counting long COVID was difficult but also that including long COVID in risk–benefit calculations could have been politically inconvenient. The direct hit to the workforce was not explicitly weighed in policy decisions, which often, and mistakenly, pitted public health against the economy.

All we need to grow

Raffaello Palandri's Blog

When it comes to become aware of our true purpose and well-being, we should work from inside out. All we need to grow is yet in ourselves, ready to be achieved.

When it comes to becoming aware of our true purpose and well-being, we should work from the inside out. All we need to grow is yet in ourselves, ready to be achieved.

I see it often: many people think that to find their true purpose in life, to live a healthier, happier, and better life, they should look for something out there.

The truth is that they will almost never find a satisfying answer to their questions.

The reason is that every growing process, every achievement, and even the very same definition of success, fulfillment, and happiness come from inside ourselves.

So, let’s grow from the inside out, and let’s flourish.

And you? Have you found inside yourself the…

The Story Of Emmett Till Continues

Filosofa's Word

Almost a year ago, I wrote of the tragic story of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old boy who was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955.  In recent weeks, a warrant was discovered for the woman who falsely accused Till of making a pass at her … an accusation that led to his murder.  That warrant was never served … it was, after all, 1955 Mississippi where a white woman’s word was valued far more than the life of a young Black person like Emmett Till.  Charles Blow’s column on Sunday is a heart-wrenching plea for justice … though no amount of justice will give Emmett Till his life back.
