The moment I saw my first Cheetah
When I think back to the first time I saw a wild cheetah, it doesn’t feel real. I was standing on a hillside in Loisaba Conservancy, eyes scanning the land, heart quiet with anticipation. It was during a static spotting session one of many we did as part of the Cheetah Project.Then suddenly something shifted in the golden distance. A flicker of movement, nearly lost in the landscape. At first, I thought it was a shadow cast by the afternoon sun on the rocks. But then it moved again. Smooth. Intentional. A cheetah.We were three days into the Cheetah Project, driven by the shared hope of spotting one of these elusive cats. Countless hours had passed with our eyes glued to binoculars, scanning Loisaba’s endless mosaic of land which include savannahs, hillsides and bushlands. Each drive began with quiet optimism and ended with a bit more urgency in our hearts. The silence of no sighting began to weigh heavier.

More carbon is currently being released by some woods than they are storing.
Forests have long stood as symbols of hope in weather. Towering pines, lush rainforests, and dense boreal woodlands are regarded to maintain a solution to our growing emissions. Their leaves breathed in carbon dioxide. Their roots locked carbon within the soil. Their presence presented consolation in a warming world.

Because it lacks a shore, it is the only sea on Earth that never touches land.
The Atlantic Ocean holds a secret: a patch of calm water ringed with the aid of using quick currents, sitting approximately 590 miles east of Florida but in no way touching land. Known as the Sargasso Sea, sailors have crossed it for centuries, however, few observe the border once they slip into glassy indigo waters.
