Researchers have released stunning new footage of "El Bonito," a juvenile male jaguar, just three miles from the U.S.-Mexico border in Sonora, Mexico. This sighting suggests a female jaguar may live closer to the United States than previously believed, indicating potential breeding activity in the region.

El Bonito, like at least seven other male jaguars detected in the U.S. over the past 25 years, could eventually cross the border from Sonora. The last known female jaguar north of the border was killed in Arizona in 1963.

The video was captured by Ganesh Marin, a University of Arizona Ph.D. student and National Geographic Explorer, who leads this joint research project involving multiple institutions.

Explore the promise and perils of new A.I. technologies. Can we harness artificial intelligence to solve global challenges without creating an uncontrollable force? With tools like ChatGPT now answering complex questions and generating realistic content, we face a critical dilemma: should we celebrate these advancements or worry about their implications?

Correspondent Miles O'Brien investigates how researchers are leveraging A.I. for major solutions in fields from medicine to climate change. For more, visit the official website: https://to.pbs.org/3Py2WDL.

Quitobaquito pupfish, an ancient species on Earth for 1.6 million years, now survive only in Quitobaquito Spring within Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, near the U.S.-Mexico border. These tiny, tenacious fish endure extreme temperatures and high salt levels, with males turning vibrant blue when defending territory or seeking a mate.

However, new border wall construction in Organ Pipe threatens this unique habitat. The Border Patrol is pumping thousands of gallons daily for concrete, heedlessly draining this precious desert waterway. With construction teams now just miles from Quitobaquito Spring, this essential water source and its endangered pupfish face imminent danger.

Despite the pandemic, border wall construction persists. Crews are blasting mountains, destroying ancient cacti, sacred sites, and draining springs. These walls disrupt wildlife migrations and

Despite the pandemic, border wall construction persists. Crews are blasting mountains, destroying ancient cacti, sacred sites, and draining springs. These walls disrupt wildlife migrations and harm communities.

Over 650 miles of barriers already exist, cutting through sensitive ecosystems, disrupting animal migration, causing catastrophic flooding, and dividing communities and tribal nations. This unfolding tragedy impacts the region's diverse wildlife, people, and spectacular landscapes.

We are actively fighting this attack in courts, Congress, and communities. This presentation features the Center's Laiken Jordahl, borderlands campaigner, and Randy Serraglio, Southwest advocate.

UNEP has partnered with syndicated cartoonist Jim Toomey for a video series addressing ocean litter.

Trash, even from upstream, travels hundreds of miles to remote oceans, causing billions in damage and threatening marine life and human health.

The "Two Minutes on Oceans with Jim Toomey" series uses animation and humor to simplify complex scientific issues for the public. View additional videos at: www.rona.unep.org/toomey

Oceans cover 71% of Earth, sustaining over a billion people. Yet, overfishing is rapidly depleting this vital resource, threatening life and protein for a hungry planet.

Fortunately, oceans are remarkably resilient. Ten countries manage most wild seafood, and Oceana has achieved critical policy victories in many, safeguarding over a million square miles.

We can reverse this decline by ending overfishing, controlling bycatch, and protecting ocean nurseries. Join Oceana today to help ensure bountiful oceans for generations to come.

NOAA Fisheries has finalized regulations protecting over 140,000 square miles of U.S. West Coast seafloor from destructive bottom trawling. These safeguards, effective January 1, 2020, cover vital habitats like corals, sponges, and rocky reefs, crucial for marine life and ocean ecosystems.

This action follows a 2018 vote by the Pacific Fishery Management Council, spurred by scientific input and advocacy from Oceana. The new rules will more than double existing protections, making 90 percent of the West Coast seafloor off-limits to bottom trawling.

James founded "Phone credit for refugees and displaced people" after an eye-opening trip to Calais. What began as a Facebook group evolved into an organization providing vital phone credit to displaced adults and children worldwide. This initiative offers the gift of communication to those separated from family and friends, far from home, and in uncertain circumstances.

The organization has supplied over £700,000 worth of phone credit, enabling people to contact loved ones, stay updated with news, and summon emergency, life-saving assistance. With over 70,000 Facebook followers, their impact is significant. James's talk explores the boundaries of compassion and responsibility, defining community, and how he found a creative solution.

This talk was given at a TEDx event, independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

In the 1990s, researchers in western Canada identified a new two-note song variant in white-throated sparrows, differing from the traditional three-note ending. While bird songs evolve, new dialects typically remain localized rather than replacing established ones.

However, a study found this once-rare two-note song spread "virally" across over 1,800 miles of Canada between 2000 and 2019, completely replacing the historic song. The reason for its widespread adoption is unknown. Senior author Ken Otter called this rapid, extensive cultural evolution of a song type "unprecedented." Learn more here.

The Reconciling Ways of Knowing dialogue, "Drawing on Indigenous Knowledge in Responding to COVID-19," originally aired on November 12, 2020.

Moderated by Darrin Mah, JD, the discussion featured Elder Dr. Dave Courchene, Jr., Grandmother Katherine Whitecloud, Miles Richardson, OC, Tom Swanky, JD, and Dr. Sabina Ijaz.

Panelists explored Indigenous Peoples' historical responses to pandemics, how this informed their approach to COVID-19, and broader lessons for Canadian society and the global community.
