Ecuador is the first country in the world to enshrine the “rights of nature” in its constitution—to establish that species other than humans have their own legal right to exist. And now this revolutionary concept is being put to the test.

An improbable alliance is giving a special bird—the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker—a new lease on life.

Florida’s Crystal River has long been a safe haven for the Florida manatee, but when an invasive algae wiped out the eel grass that manatees need for food, the community rallied to restore the river and save the animals that call it home.

A local team is removing invasive predators, restoring habitats, and battling mosquito-borne diseases to protect honeycreepers from their latest threat: avian malaria.

In the middle of Rio de Janeiro sits the world’s largest urban rainforest: Tijuca National park. To combat a century of deforestation and hunting, a team of researchers are repairing the forest’s forgotten web of life, one species at a time.

Using innovative technology and breakthrough genetics, researchers have ignited a cadre of solutions to save rare and cherished species of frogs.

Coral reefs around the world are threatened by rising ocean temperatures, but hope is growing off the coast of Hawaii. There, researchers at the Coral Resilience Lab selectively breed corals to withstand ever-increasing amounts of heat stress.
