Recent remote camera footage shows the Togo wolf pack's breeding male with his two young pups. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) plans to shoot him, which would leave his pups

Recent remote camera footage shows the Togo wolf pack's breeding male with his two young pups. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) plans to shoot him, which would leave his pups vulnerable and his mate without a hunting partner.

Last week, the Center for Biological Diversity secured a temporary court order halting the culling. We are back in court this week, seeking to make that protection permanent.

Please donate to our Wolf Defense Fund to help keep the Togo pack safe: https://bit.ly/2PaJxHl. Media can request footage by emailing CenterVideos@BiologicalDiversity.org.

In *Fascism: A Warning*, former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright draws on her experiences and diplomatic career to provide a personal examination of Fascism's 20th-century legacy and its impact today. She defines a Fascist as one who claims to speak for a nation, disregards others' rights, and uses violence to achieve goals.

Albright argues that Fascism presents a more virulent threat now than since World War II, with global democratic momentum reversing. Economic, technological, and cultural factors empower political extremes, and contemporary leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un employ tactics reminiscent of 1920s and 30s Fascists. This timely book offers crucial lessons to prevent repeating past errors.

In Dindori, India, water scarcity is a harsh reality. During summer, wells dry up, forcing villagers, particularly young girls, to walk miles and climb 40 feet into wells. This perilous task, often using ropes, frequently leads to accidents, and the collected water is often contaminated.

Dindori exemplifies a critical and increasing global water crisis. India faces a severe challenge, with demand projected to double available supply by 2030. National Geographic explores these vital issues.

Last year, Dejah Powell founded Get Them to the Green (G2G) to foster environmental passion among Chicago youth, especially youth of color. G2G's first initiative was a summer camp, engaging 14 young people in environmental justice, sustainability, and food agriculture.

G2G has since partnered with Gardenneers to build a school garden at Powell’s elementary school, providing hands-on outdoor education. The organization also conducts environmental education workshops throughout the city.

Now a Cornell senior, Powell believes understanding environmental problems is key to solving them. She hopes urban environmental education will improve eco-literacy and help under-resourced communities access vital local and global conversations.
