We Are Tremendously Close to the De-Extinction of the Dodo Bird
In our lifetimes, we may see extinction counteracted by genetic advancement — only in my wildest dreams did I think I might one day type those words to begin a nonfiction article. Modern genetics already felt dangerously close to sci-fi with Dolly the Sheep and CRISPR. But, now, biotech has the potential to undo the wrongs of the human past, nullifying the species we eradicated as we colonized our way across the globe. Truly, we’ve almost reached a near Jurassic Park level of genetic ability, and the revelations obtained by approaching it already have incredible potential to improve our world.

The World Is Very Far Off Meeting The UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, the United Nations agreed upon seventeen Sustainable Development Goals which aim to combat some of the world’s biggest development challenges by the year 2030. The Goals are all interlinked: ending poverty (SDG1) also means zero hunger (SDG2). Gender equality (SDG 5) supports good health and wellbeing (SDG3) - and so on. The world already has the resources and technology to achieve most of the 2030 goals. However, as of now, not enough resources are being directed into achieving The Goals. This needs to change.

Welcome To The "Neigh"borhood
Today is the day we honor the animal that helped shape our world, the horse. Horses are one of the most loved livestock in the world. 31% of American homes have one person living there in love with horses. Horses have been domesticated since around 3500 BC in South Russia and Kazakhstan. Today horses are still used for manual labor and transportation, while in some parts they are used in animal-assisted therapy programs. Few ranches specialize in breeding and training champion sport horses. The horse, or equine, industry in the US alone makes $122 billion, along with 1.7 million jobs. There are 60 million horses of more than 400 breeds living on 459,526 horse ranches around the world. In a post-apocalyptic world, horses will be the cornerstone of society during this time. They will be key players in the rebuilding your community. Here is how to start your own horse ranch.
