"Run to Save a Watershed" is a documentary set in Chile's Central Andes, where the Maipo River sustains Santiago's 7.1 million residents and a vibrant ecosystem. However, the Alto Maipo hydroelectric project threatens this vital waterway.

Trail runner and activist Felipe Cancino runs 120 kilometers, tracing the project's pipelines, to expose its devastating impact. He reveals how it alters the river, displaces communities, endangers Santiago's water supply, and permanently damages the natural environment. The film underscores the true value of this ecosystem against the high costs of current development.

NASA scientists utilized 30 years of Landsat satellite data to track vegetation changes across 4 million square miles of Alaska and Canada. Their findings reveal a significant "greening" trend, with 30% of the area showing increased vegetation, while only 3% experienced "browning."

This pioneering study, the first to provide continent-scale detail alongside local information, underscores the impact of rapid Arctic warming. Elevated temperatures lead to extended growing seasons and altered soils, transforming tundras into shrublands. Future research will investigate local factors influencing these greening patterns and explore forested regions.

Yurok tribal leader Sammy Gensaw and environmental scientist Craig Tucker share the epic story of the Klamath River dam removal, the largest in history. This unprecedented project, driven by Indigenous leadership and non-Indian allyship, represents a watershed moment of co-equal decision-making between tribes and the U.S. government. Once complete in 2024, it will liberate 400 miles of the Klamath River and its tributaries, allowing them to run free from Oregon through California to the Pacific Ocean.

Sammy Gensaw is the Founding Director of the Ancestral Guard, an activist, and a Yurok Language Speaker. Craig Tucker, founder of Suits and Signs Consulting, brings over 20 years of advocacy experience, particularly in the Klamath Basin, focusing on dam removal and water policy.

This episode, "Undam the Klamath! How Tribes Led the Largest River Restoration Project in US History," is part of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series. Visit the radio and podcast homepage to learn more.

LEGO produces millions of plastic bricks annually, a toy cherished across generations. Despite its inherent durability, the company aims for even greater environmental friendliness by 2030.

LEGO produces millions of plastic bricks annually, a toy cherished across generations. Despite its inherent durability, the company aims for even greater environmental friendliness by 2030. Nelleke, a chemical engineer, leads this ambitious goal.

Nelleke's career began in Rotterdam, instilling a "stop talking, start working" ethos. After a PhD from TU Delft, she gained extensive experience in chemical process design in the US and at Avantium Technologies in Amsterdam. Her diverse background honed her skills in innovation and collaboration within the chemical industry.

In 2014, Nelleke joined The LEGO Group, a dream job where she and her team develop sustainable materials for both current and future LEGO bricks. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

After Hurricane Irma flooded Miami in 2017, Will Charouhis founded We Are Forces of Nature, a youth-led climate group. It focuses on providing climate adaptation and mitigation strategies for coastal areas, particularly through mangrove conservation.

The group launched A Million Mangroves, an initiative that cleans, plants, and researches mangroves to improve restoration success. Charouhis, 17, also pioneers research at Miami's Seaquarium on mangrove species resilience to ocean acidification and warming.

He has shared his findings at UN climate conferences, aiming to increase global restoration efforts. His organization has educated 2,500 youth in 16 countries and is involved in collaborative mangrove restoration in Central Africa.

Lydia Jennings, a member of the Huichol (Wixaritari) and Pascua Yaqui (Yoeme) Nations, holds a doctorate in soil microbiology. Her work champions environmental science and the essential role of Indigenous communities, striving for more inclusive academic and environmental landscapes.

When her graduation was canceled due to the pandemic, Lydia celebrated by running 50 miles to honor Indigenous scientists and knowledge keepers—a tribute to the past, present, and future. This inspiring story is captured in a film by Devin Whetstone and Jordan Marie Daniel.

In Dindori, India, water scarcity is a harsh reality. During summer, wells dry up, forcing villagers, particularly young girls, to walk miles and climb 40 feet into wells. This perilous task, often using ropes, frequently leads to accidents, and the collected water is often contaminated.

Dindori exemplifies a critical and increasing global water crisis. India faces a severe challenge, with demand projected to double available supply by 2030. National Geographic explores these vital issues.
