Shaylan Kolodney, a junior Environmental Science student at Skidmore College, shares her unique thoughts on climate change. Her environmental passion ignited in high school after successfully campaigning to ban polystyrene in her cafeteria, an effort that later inspired her hometown's sustainable business practices.

Currently, Shaylan researches carbon farming at Caney Fork Farm. She also studied in Bhutan, investigating factors contributing to the rapid dieback of the Himalayan Blue Pine. Deeply interested in understanding humanity's role in the environment, she is driven to make a positive global impact.

A remote camera in Washington state captured a mother bobcat teaching her kitten to jump. The mother gracefully leaped to an off-screen branch, with the kitten making a valiant, albeit less successful, attempt to follow. A super slow-motion replay highlights the young cat's effort.

This footage emerges amid ongoing concerns. In 2019, The Center initiated legal action against the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services program, challenging its annual killing of thousands of native animals, including bobcats, in Washington state.
