Watch this sloth slowly cross the forest path. Sloths move slowly because of their extremely low metabolic rate. Found in the tropical forests of Central and South America, these tree dwellers move through the canopy at a rate of about 40 yards per day.

2025 was one of the hottest years on record. As the impacts of a warming world intensify, nature remains one of our strongest heroes in the fight to keep a safe climate future in view. Protecting and restoring forests, rivers, reefs, wetlands, and grasslands are among our most effective solutions.

Did you know orangutans spend nearly their entire lives in trees—swinging in treetops and building nests for sleep? They are found only in the rainforests of the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra.

Did you know jaguars are strong swimmers? They’re dependent on healthy freshwater systems and access to large amounts of territory for survival. One of the ecosystems you can find these big cats is in the Pantanal.

Monarch butterflies are known for their iconic bold orange and black colors. After wintering in the forests of the Monarch Butterfly Reserve in central Mexico, they’ll mate and begin migrating north. Soon they’ll arrive in the U.S. searching for milkweed to lay their eggs.

Baby dugong sighting! A rare wildlife sighting of a calf swimming alongside its parents in Indonesia’s central Alor archipelago. Its presence indicates the success of several decades of community-led conservation efforts in these waters to protect and expand seagrass meadows.

Here’s a delightfully odd capybara fact for you: they eat their own poop! While it may sound strange, digesting their food a second time helps them absorb nutrients that weren’t fully absorbed the first time. You could call this nature’s ultimate recycling program.
