The Green Readiness Opportunities for the Workforce (GROW) initiative is a $4.5 million effort to train New Yorkers for green jobs managing stormwater infrastructure, enhancing urban resilience and promoting a greener city.

Border walls are located along imaginary geopolitical boundaries. They slice arbitrarily through critical ecosystems that know only natural boundaries, cutting wild animals off from the resources they need to live—food, water, a diverse selection of mates—and the ability to migrate for survival.

The Royal Parks has transformed the former brownfield site into a 8,000 sq metre paradise for flora and fauna, bringing about an estimated 184% increase in biodiverse wildlife habitat.

Fungi are some of the most important things in the world. They feed 90% of terrestrial plants. Without them, there is no life on the Earth.

"Monteverde has one of the few cloud forests left in the world, as they are one of the first forests to disappear due to global warming," said Rodrigo Valverde, co-founder of Sky Adventures.

Peat bogs provide huge value to humans and the environment. When healthy, they store twice as much carbon as all the world's forests, reducing global emissions.

Conservation efforts along the 153 miles of the River Thames have delivered mixed results for wildlife, according to a new report that finds improvements in some species and habitats alongside emerging threats from climate change and pollution. Researchers recorded increases in several wading bird species, marine mammals and restored natural habitats, including intertidal areas that act as nurseries for many fish. The river continues to support a surprising range of wildlife, with seahorses, eels, seals and even sharks - including tope, starry smoothhound and spurdog - now documented in the Thames.
