In Dindori, India, water scarcity is a harsh reality. During summer, wells dry up, forcing villagers, particularly young girls, to walk miles and climb 40 feet into wells. This perilous task, often using ropes, frequently leads to accidents, and the collected water is often contaminated.

Dindori exemplifies a critical and increasing global water crisis. India faces a severe challenge, with demand projected to double available supply by 2030. National Geographic explores these vital issues.

British ocean rower and environmental campaigner Roz Savage discusses plastic pollution, labeling it a "man-made global catastrophe." Her solo row from San Francisco to Hawaii provided first-hand experience with the problem's immense scale, including meeting scientists on a "Junk craft" hundreds of miles east of Hawaii to share research.

The core message is clear: we must reduce our plastic use. Each individual can significantly lessen their consumption, making a positive global difference.

This interview, conducted by Ruth Ann Barrett of EarthSayers.tv, was published on January 28, 2014. For more information about Roz Savage, visit www.rozsavage.com.

Sea turtles and other marine life are threatened by the Pacific Fishery Management Council's (PFMC) consideration of permits for destructive pelagic longlines. This deadly fishing gear, capable of stretching 60 miles with thousands of hooks, was banned on the West Coast for decades due to its proven harm to air-breathing animals. Reintroducing such reckless and wasteful practices is irresponsible.

Urge the PFMC to reject West Coast pelagic longline permits and protect vulnerable marine species. Take action now: http://bit.ly/31ph3zg

Researchers have released stunning new footage of "El Bonito," a juvenile male jaguar, just three miles from the U.S.-Mexico border in Sonora, Mexico. This sighting suggests a female jaguar may live closer to the United States than previously believed, indicating potential breeding activity in the region.

El Bonito, like at least seven other male jaguars detected in the U.S. over the past 25 years, could eventually cross the border from Sonora. The last known female jaguar north of the border was killed in Arizona in 1963.

The video was captured by Ganesh Marin, a University of Arizona Ph.D. student and National Geographic Explorer, who leads this joint research project involving multiple institutions.

Quitobaquito pupfish, an ancient species on Earth for 1.6 million years, now survive only in Quitobaquito Spring within Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, near the U.S.-Mexico border. These tiny, tenacious fish endure extreme temperatures and high salt levels, with males turning vibrant blue when defending territory or seeking a mate.

However, new border wall construction in Organ Pipe threatens this unique habitat. The Border Patrol is pumping thousands of gallons daily for concrete, heedlessly draining this precious desert waterway. With construction teams now just miles from Quitobaquito Spring, this essential water source and its endangered pupfish face imminent danger.
