Mountain lions, more closely related to housecats than lions, face challenging lives in Central California's urban wildlands. Their habitat is fragmented by freeways and development. Despite their wild nature, puma kittens behave much like domestic cats, and their mothers even purr. (Footage courtesy of the National Park Service)

Meet the bone collector caterpillar, a newly described Hyposmocoma species. This rare carnivore (only 0.13% of caterpillars) lurks in spider webs, camouflaged by insect corpses, even preying on its own kind. Roughly the length of a fingernail, it's a fascinating example of nature's unique adaptations.

For a dopamine boost, watch baby kit fox siblings frolicking near a California den site on Instagram or YouTube. These tiny foxes—North America’s smallest native canines—frequently move den sites to evade predators, using over 60 different dens annually.

For decades, the Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit, has fought to save these foxes from habitat loss, oil and gas development, and other threats. We believe human welfare is deeply linked to nature, working through science, law, and creative media to protect species and their habitats, ensuring a wild world for future generations.

Janine Benyus, the "Godmother of Biomimicry," advocates for humans to become a "welcome species" by designing settlements that give back to the planet. Through Biomimicry 3.8, she demonstrates how human environments can emulate nature's ecological gifts.

Benyus envisions cities functioning like forests—storing water, purifying air, cycling nutrients, and nurturing biodiversity. Her "Project Positive" initiatives prove this regenerative vision is achievable by asking, "What would Nature do here?" Discover more at biomimicry.net.
