Join the Natural History Institute in welcoming Dr. Earyn McGee, a herpetologist and passionate science communicator. Her PhD research focused on how climate change and human water use impact lizard diets in the Southwest, particularly as streams dry due to drought.

Dr. McGee is also dedicated to addressing barriers for Black women in natural resources careers. She co-founded a program with Delta Sigma Theta to introduce middle school girls to these fields. A Forbes 30 Under 30 lister and AAAS IF/THEN STEM Ambassador, she engages audiences via social media, including her popular #FindThatLizard game and her accounts at @Afro_Herper on Twitter and Instagram.

Global women and feminist leaders are calling for urgent climate justice and action for future generations. WECAN marks International Women's Day by releasing a video showcasing women and gender-diverse leaders' solutions.

Amidst escalating climate crisis and social inequities, these leaders demand bold systems change and transformational leadership. They champion solutions for food sovereignty, Indigenous rights, and a Just Transition, challenging governments and corporations to end extractive practices and declare a climate emergency. Their fight for Mother Earth is unwavering.

In October 1972, following public action, Congress passed the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). The first federal law of its kind, it aimed to protect marine mammals in U.S. waters, allowing them to recover and thrive.

The MMPA has since saved countless marine mammals from unregulated hunting and pollution. Yet, significant threats like climate change, fishing gear entanglement, and oil and gas development persist, underscoring the need for continued implementation and enforcement.

Join us through October to celebrate the MMPA's 50th anniversary. We'll share stories, host events, and provide opportunities for action. Help spread awareness by sharing our video with #MMPA50.

Plastic pollution worsens daily, with millions of tonnes entering our environment due to a "take-make-waste" economy. This harms nature, depletes resources, fuels climate and biodiversity crises, and wastes billions in valuable materials.

While companies have made voluntary efforts like reducing virgin plastic and piloting reuse, these actions lack the necessary scale. Plastic pollution is a global challenge, transcending borders, and requires a coordinated, globally aligned response.

We must urgently translate ambition into action. A legally-binding UN treaty on plastic pollution offers a permanent solution. This episode explores its potential, featuring insights from Eirik Lindebjerg (WWF) and Rolando Castro Cordoba (Costa Rica, MINAE).

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation and WWF are calling for a legally-binding UN treaty to address the entire plastics lifecycle. This urgent appeal is supported by over 2 million people, 700+ civil society groups, 70+ global companies, and more than three-quarters of UN member countries. The escalating global plastic pollution crisis requires a coordinated, worldwide response, as existing voluntary measures are insufficient. World leaders have a critical opportunity at the United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA) in February to begin negotiations for this vital treaty. Governments must act now.

My mission is to educate about plastic, advocating for reducing, reusing, and rethinking rather than solely relying on recycling. I aim to inspire others to understand plastic's impact and make a difference.

Guided by the Jewish concept of "Tikkun Olam" (repairing the world), my passion for addressing plastic pollution stems from an elementary school experience observing ecosystem damage. This firsthand realization of my own impact fuels my drive to educate and inspire collective action.

Global insect populations are declining, a serious concern for entomologist Marcus Byrne due to their vital ecosystem services. While factors like pesticides and habitat loss contribute, Byrne's research strongly links this decline to rising atmospheric CO2, urging us to reduce emissions and protect these essential creatures.

Professor of entomology at Wits University, Marcus Byrne's early passion for insects was solidified at the Dung Beetle Research Unit in South Africa, where he discovered the significance of biological control and the fascinating world of dung beetles.
