Some people love the steady pitter-patter sound of rain on the rooftops. Other people love playing in the snow or watching it fall from inside the warmth of their homes. Hail, however, is rarely met with the same level of joy or excitement. In fact, hailstones are known to cause billions of dollars in damage...

Students gathered in Pasadena on October 1, 2025, expecting to hear the legendary anthropologist speak about protecting the environment and what young people could do to change the world, but Jane Goodall had died that morning in her sleep at 91 in Los Angeles, and the cause of death was natural.

Researchers have discovered that glaciers across the United States, Switzerland and Canada are melting at astonishing rates. This is far faster than scientists previously projected. Glaciers in western Canada, the mainland United States, and Switzerland just had their worst year and worst 4-year period on record for ice loss. This rapid ice melt has severe...

What comes to mind when you think of the Sahara Desert? Today, the Sahara is a harsh environment where survival can be extremely challenging.

Three countries came together to preserve the Mayan jungle, including its wildlife and cultural heritage. Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize have formed a Tri-National Reserve spanning over their borders.
