Join Dr. Blaine Cole to explore the western harvester ant's fascinating life cycle. This widespread North American species, known for large nest mounds, has been studied by Dr. Cole for 33 years. His talk covers how new queens form new colonies and factors determining their survival and decades-long lifespan.

Dr. Cole, a University of Houston Professor, specializes in ant behavior and ecology. He has extensively researched ants, focusing for 33 years on the population biology of the western harvester ant (*Pogonomyrmex occidentalis*) with Diane Wiernasz.

In times of anxiety and global stress, maintaining equilibrium is crucial. Forests, from city parks to wild places, offer profound emotional and physical healing, extending beyond their carbon

In times of anxiety and global stress, maintaining equilibrium is crucial. Forests, from city parks to wild places, offer profound emotional and physical healing, extending beyond their carbon sequestration power.

Certified Nature therapy guides Sylvie Rokab and Sheila Laffey explain how "forest bathing" boosts immunity. Inhaling tree-emitted phytoncides enhances human natural killer (NK) cell activity, combating disease. Even short walks in nature provide lasting benefits.

The critical work of our time is nature's restoration, yet over $2 trillion is spent annually on military operations and armaments. This global spending fuels wars, destroys cities and critical ecosystems, emits millions of tons of greenhouse gases, pollutes land and water, and exacerbates the climate crisis, increasing vulnerability to catastrophic floods, droughts, and diseases.

Military alliances are not the answer; the real battle is saving life on our planet, which requires us to stop destroying it. This vital discussion features Kati Juva (Co-President, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War) and Tamara Lorincz (environmental advocate, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace).

At COP28 in Dubai, Raya Salter and Carlos Garcia hosted a panel examining the climate impact of military operations. With global conflicts destroying cities, lives, and ecosystems, peace is essential to prevent catastrophic climate failure.

Tamara Lorincz highlighted over two trillion dollars annually spent on military operations and resource extraction. Dr. Amara Eniya explained how climate crisis-driven droughts and floods compound national debt, crippling nations struggling to meet basic needs. John D. Liu, representing Commonland, showcased global efforts to restore land and hydrological cycles.

Canadian wildfires are generating hazardous smoke, drifting across the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. These tiny particles pose serious health risks to the lungs, heart, and brain. Climate change is exacerbating the situation, with unpredictable weather, ice storms, and drought fueling the fires, which have already released 17 million tons of CO2.

Experts Paul Beckwith and Patrick Hogan explain this worsening air quality as a critical symptom of the climate crisis. When smoke reached Washington D.C., legislators experienced firsthand the effects, reminiscent of the 1930s Dustbowl. The key question is whether this event will finally prompt significant action.
