Allow me to tell you something
I discovered that things were different in our holler. Furthermore, our home was a holler, not a hollow like you could find on a fancy map or read about in a dictionary. According to Merriam-Webster, it is a tiny valley or basin. You may also learn from the definition that it refers to an empty space or a depressed or low portion of a surface.

KATOA Ocean, An Educational Mobile Game, Helps Raise Awareness and Funds to Restore Ocean Habitats.
I was still in high school when the Endless Ocean games first came out for the Nintendo Wii and how a combination of real-life conservation efforts and pre-colonial Polynesian folklore inspired their scuba diver storylines. While I wasn’t much of a gamer growing up, I have to admit that playing a game that involved scuba diving, training dolphins, and going on quests to solve ancient mysteries ended up dethroning every Pokemon game I ever played in elementary school. They were fun, exciting, and, very trivial with facts about the animals that appeared in the games along with a few historical facts.

How much U.S. forest is old growth? It depends who you ask
Last spring, President Joe Biden surprised forest scientists when he ordered the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to inventory their holdings of mature and old-growth forests by Earth Day 2023. The order triggered a scramble for the United States to, for the first time, formally define what constitutes “mature” and “old-growth” forests and to apply those definitions across millions of hectares of land.

In the wake of history’s deadliest mass extinction, ocean life may have flourished
Following the most severe known mass extinction in Earth’s history, vibrant marine ecosystems may have recovered within just a million years, researchers report in the Feb. 10 Science. That’s millions of years faster than previously thought.

Greta Thunberg’s new book urges the world to take climate action now
The best shot we have at minimizing the future impacts of climate change is to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Since the Industrial Revolution began, humankind has already raised the average global temperature by about 1.1 degrees. If we continue to emit greenhouse gases at the current rate, the world will probably surpass the 1.5-degree threshold by the end of the decade.

50 years ago, researchers discovered a leak in Earth’s oceans
Oceans may be shrinking — Science News, March 10, 1973 The oceans of the world may be gradually shrinking, leaking slowly away into the Earth’s mantle…. Although the oceans are constantly being slowly augmented by water carried up from Earth’s interior by volcanic activity … some process such as sea-floor spreading seems to be letting the water seep away more rapidly than it is replaced.
