Through Farmer Field Schools, supported by the European Union and Sweden under ENPARD IV, FAO assists Georgian farmers in strengthening plant health via sustainable agricultural practices.

Farmers and agronomists collaborate on initiatives from healthy soil and strong seedlings to pest monitoring and integrated pest management. This improves crop resilience, reduces unnecessary pesticide use, and supports safer food production and sustainable agriculture in Georgia.

FAO Rwanda launched the "Fostering Digital Villages (FDiVi)" project in Musanze District. It empowers farmer organizations, youth, women, and field agents from four districts to transform Rwandan agriculture through digital tool adoption.

FDiVi introduces tailored digital solutions, offering rural communities easier access to information, weather forecasts, and market opportunities. This enables farmers to make informed decisions, optimize yields, and enhance resilience.

A global webinar gathered experts to share the latest research on developing banana cultivars resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Building on prior discussions, the event consolidated knowledge and highlighted recent progress in breeding, field trials, and advanced genetic tools. Organizers included Victor Prada, Matheus Lima, and Adriele Benedetto.

The webinar updated ongoing research, identified challenges for durable resistance, and emphasized genetic diversity's role in resilient production. It also underscored biotechnology's potential and the importance of multi-location trials. The event fostered knowledge exchange and strengthened global collaboration for effective TR4-tolerant cultivar deployment worldwide.

Join NHI and Arizona Game and Fish Department's Jeff Meyers to explore Arizona's four wildcat species. Learn about these powerful, often misunderstood predators, from their fossil origins to current ecology, including the world's third-largest felid.

Jeff Meyers, a wildlife biologist for the Arizona Game & Fish Department, manages the Wildlife Viewing Program. With over 25 years in Arizona and a passion for mammalian carnivores, he educates the public on wildlife and habitat conservation through lectures, field events, and live streaming cams.

The Chumash, a maritime culture for millennia, built strong *tomol* plank canoes to navigate the Channel Islands' treacherous waters. European colonization nearly eradicated this craft through forced assimilation. Today, Alan Salazar and his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities are revitalizing *tomol* building and paddling, passing vital knowledge to new generations.

Support the Tataviam Land Conservancy’s project to build two *tomols*. This initiative will unite the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes through educational events and workshops focused on *tomol* craft, culture, and paddling. Please specify "Tomol Project" when donating at tataviam.land/donation/.

Jeff Corwin explores the Great Plains' interconnected species. He aids bison re-establishment with Native American tribes and conserves black-footed ferrets, once thought extinct. Ferrets critically depend on prairie dogs, a keystone species decimated by habitat loss and Sylvatic plague, nearly causing their extinction. The species was famously rediscovered by a dog named Shep.

Conservation efforts involve canine teams, like Melissa Steen and Tule, locating ferrets in prairie dog burrows. Spotlight teams, including Chamois Andersen, then find and trap ferrets at night. Biologists like Jessica Alexander collect vital data and administer life-saving vaccines against Sylvatic plague, ensuring this fragile population's survival.

Join the NHI Speaker Series for "The Brothers Boutelou and the Grass they Barely Knew" with Debbie DeWolf Allen. This talk explores the fascinating origin of the genus name for Blue Grama Grass, *Bouteloua gracilis*. While botanical names often describe plants, some honor individuals. Discover the tale behind Bouteloua, intertwining two 18th-century Spanish gardeners, an enlightened king, a New World expedition, and botanical drawings lost for nearly 200 years.

Debbie DeWolf Allen, a Master Gardener and author of "Common Grasses of the Central Arizona Highlands," will guide this journey through botany, history, and exploration. Her field guide is available at the Natural History Institute.

Join us for a conversation with leading ecological researcher Mary Power and Institute founder Tom Fleischner. They will explore natural history's vital role in inspiring ecological field study and theoretical advances. Dr. Power's decades of research on river food webs and their ecosystem linkages are deeply informed by her love of natural history.

Mary Power is a Professor at UC Berkeley and Faculty Director of the Angelo Coast Range Reserve. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and other prestigious bodies, and a former president of the Ecological Society of America. Her work was notably featured in "The Serengeti Rules" film.
