Saturday is Valentine’s Day, but it’s also World Bonobo Day, and there are many reasons to love bonobos! 🦍 Bonobos (along with chimpanzees) share 98.7% of their DNA with humans, making them our closest living relative. 🦍 Like humans, bonobos maintain relationships and settle conflicts.

The winter sports season has just begun, and for some species, this is when their snowy skills truly shine.

Tuning into the big game on Sunday? In sports and in conservation, teamwork makes all the difference. From restoring forests to conserving wetlands and safeguarding wildlife species, we’re all working from the same playbook: protecting the natural systems that sustain us.

Did you know sea turtles snack on jellyfish? Their scales protect them from the worst of a jellyfish’s venom, and the resulting meal is both tasty and nutritious.
