The Center's Urban Wildlands program protects big cats and other wildlife by halting urban sprawl into adjacent wildlands, ensuring vital space and connectivity. Uncontrolled development in these areas heightens fire risk, increases car dependency, and isolates wildlife populations, particularly mountain lions. This year, significant progress was made in securing greater protections for California's mountain lions and stopping harmful projects.

Learn more about our efforts to safeguard California's mountain lions and wildlife corridors, and discover how you can contribute. The program features insights from Dr. Tiffany Yap, a senior scientist and wildlife corridor advocate, and J.P. Rose, Urban Wildlands Staff Attorney.

Northern Ireland is embarking on a cleaner energy future, utilizing abundant wind and solar resources. While engineers drive innovation, widespread public and community support is crucial. We need open dialogue to connect green energy projects with climate benefits, helping individuals make informed choices and embrace new infrastructure. This collective effort is vital to transform NI's power system for future generations.

Dr. David McGowan, a Senior Lead Engineer at SONI, is key to this transition. He led SONI’s Tomorrow’s Energy Scenarios, outlining decarbonization pathways for NI. Also a steering group member for ENTSOE, he contributes to long-term EU energy scenarios. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
