Ringtails, often mistaken for cats or lemurs, are actually related to coatis and raccoons. These adorable, nocturnal creatures are Arizona's official state mammal, even appearing on driver's licenses.

Small and undeniably cute, ringtails possess oversized eyes and ears, perfectly adapted for nighttime foraging. Their diverse diet includes fruit, lizards, insects, snakes, birds and their eggs, mice, and squirrels.

Tania Pulido runs the Berryland community garden in Richmond, CA. More than just a food source in a food desert, it offers local youth summer apprenticeships to learn about climate change and environmental racism. You can watch a video about her work.

Pulido actively campaigns for her community's health, including against the local Chevron oil refinery. Her dedication earned her the Brower Youth Award.

The Brower Youth Awards recognize North American youth (ages 13-22) who demonstrate outstanding leadership in projects with positive environmental and social impact.

Witness the remarkable growth of Monsoon, an adorable black bear cub, in the beautiful U.S.-Mexico borderlands. Over 15 months, the Center’s critter cams documented Monsoon's journey from a 2-month-old cub, secure with its mother, to a fully independent yearling.

The borderlands reveal a surprising diversity of wildlife sharing Monsoon's habitat. Neighbors include cacti, coatis, coyotes, bats, pumas, and even a jaguar, showcasing the rich ecosystem of this unique region.

The Arctic's thawing ice threatens to release vast methane hydrate stores, a gas 84 times more potent than CO2. This potential tipping point could dangerously spike atmospheric heating.

Peter Fiekowsky and Peter Wadhams propose enhancing natural methane oxidation with Iron Chloride, a method explained in Fiekowsky's book, *Climate Restoration: The Only Future that will Sustain the Human Race*. Funding this planetary "life insurance" is critical.

For more information, visit the Climate Restoration Safety and Governance Board, order Fiekowsky's book, explore Peter Wadhams' Ted Talk and book, or consult the FacingFuture Library.
