Nearly 50 years ago, David Bamberger bought 5,500 acres of overgrazed Texas land and focused on restoring it by planting native grasses to capture rain and replenish aquifers. His work revived the ecosystem, bringing back biodiversity, and his approach is now a model for land stewardship and water conservation across the region.

A Isnello è nato un piccolo esemplare di capovaccaio, specie a rischio critico di estinzione in Italia. Il ritorno del rapace è stato favorito anche dalla presenza di un carnaio, alimentato con carcasse selezionate dal Parco delle Madonie. L'evento rappresenta un importante successo per la conservazione della biodiversità e un segnale incoraggiante per le future politiche ambientali del Parco

America’s national bird, the bald eagle, is having a moment. The eagles find themselves in a sort of environmental updraft since the early 2000s, when the federal government took the thriving birds off its endangered species list with more states following suit. Culturally, too, they’re soaring. Joe Biden in December signed legislation making the raptor the country’s national bird. New Jersey this month became the latest state to delist the bald eagle as endangered. And to the chagrin or elation of football fans depending on rooting interests, the Philadelphia Eagles are playing in the Super Bowl.
