Industrial logging in Oregon's coastal mountains has replaced old-growth forests with monocrop plantations, releasing greenhouse gases, decimating biodiversity, and severely harming rivers through pollution and habitat destruction. This environmental degradation contributes to a severe crisis for salmon and steelhead across Washington, Oregon, and California.

Hundreds of salmonid populations have been destroyed, and remaining ones are critically endangered, with Pacific salmon numbers down by 98-99%. Urgent action is vital for their survival: protect forests by stopping industrial logging, remove dams and restore aquatic habitats, halt commercial fishing and pollution, and stabilize global warming.

Charlton Shackleton is addressing the underrepresentation of equatorial regions in climate change funding. Commemorating his ancestor Sir Ernest Shackleton, he will lead a 2022 expedition to the South Pole, personally transporting climate scientists for research. This unique initiative aims to support those most impacted by climate change.

As an Antarctic Explorer and Entrepreneur, Charlton also founded The Shackleton Research Trust, offering academic scholarships to underrepresented science students worldwide. Additionally, he directs the Shackleton Initiative Marine Research Centre (SIMRC) in Tobago, which explores coral reef restoration and hosts researchers at Buccoo Reef.

From Oscar-nominated filmmakers Betsy West and Oren Jacoby, "This Is Not a Drill" documents three unlikely heroes confronting the powerful fossil fuel industry amidst escalating extreme weather.

From Oscar-nominated filmmakers Betsy West and Oren Jacoby, "This Is Not a Drill" documents three unlikely heroes confronting the powerful fossil fuel industry amidst escalating extreme weather. Justin J. Pearson rallies a multiracial coalition against a crude oil pipeline in Memphis, Roishetta Ozane transforms personal loss into political action in Louisiana, and Sharon Wilson, a former oil insider, exposes invisible methane leaks in Texas.

Backed by John D. Rockefeller's descendants, this coalition uncovers "Big Oil’s Big Con"—an industry promoting fossil fuels while disguising the truth. This Patagonia film showcases how courage, grit, and determination can inspire grassroots victories against powerful forces.

Wildfires are distressing, yet a biocentric perspective reveals they are primarily climate-driven, not fuel-driven. This means landscape-scale forest thinning and prescribed burns are largely ineffective at reducing fire spread or intensity, a view supported by experts like George Wuerthner.

Fires are often used as an excuse for logging, whether for "fuels management" or "salvage." However, burned forests are vital carbon sinks and biodiverse habitats that should be allowed to recover naturally, as logging is detrimental.

For further insight, explore this [interview with Ralph Bloemers on fire ecology](https://resistanceradioprn.podbean.com/e/resistance-radio-guest-ralph-bloemers/) and George Wuerthner's [article on wildfires](https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/08/08/yet-another-misleading-piece-on-wildfires-from-the-new-york-times/).

Theophilus Delali Dumenyo, a Young Forest Champion from Ghana, credits the FAO elearning Academy for significantly enhancing his technical knowledge in forest monitoring and biodiversity conservation. The digital badges he earned strengthened his professional profile, opened opportunities for partnerships with NGOs, and supported his work empowering smallholder farmers.

He highlights the global importance of free, accessible learning for young professionals. Learn more at the FAO website, subscribe on YouTube, or follow FAO on social media: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter, and Weibo.

Isarithmic maps, like contour maps, use color or lines to represent a third variable in two dimensions. The author applied this technique to election returns, revealing broad patterns in U.S. political history that traditional maps often miss.

This animated interpretation highlights key phenomena: Roosevelt's enduring support, the South's shift from Democratic to Republican, and the evolution from an east-west to a contemporary coasts-versus-heartland political divide.

As this video demonstrates, American politics constantly evolves. It serves as a reminder that "politics as usual" is always in flux as parties battle for electoral supremacy.
