Water is our most precious, irreplaceable resource, vital for all life. Only 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh, mostly inaccessible. The tiny fraction in rivers and lakes sustains farming, industry, billions of people, and diverse ecosystems, home to 1 in 10 animals and half of all fish species.

WWF protects and revives these critical freshwater systems, ensuring enough water for people and nature. This mission is powerfully supported by "Our Planet," a collaboration with Netflix and Silverback Films. This initiative explores natural wonders, highlights urgent threats, and inspires global action to protect our planet for a future where nature and people thrive.

David Wessel's book, "Only the Rich Can Play," exposes the 2017 Opportunity Zone tax break. Intended to aid underserved communities, this initiative, passed with little scrutiny, primarily benefited wealthy areas like the Las Vegas Strip, allowing investors to avoid capital gains taxes.

Wessel's analysis details the program's failures and limited successes, offering lessons for better design. Join David Wessel (@davidmwessel) and Lenny Mendonca for an in-depth discussion on this system, which Wessel argues keeps the rich richer.

Author David Wallace-Wells warns that coral reefs may not survive another generation, potentially facing total extinction by 2050 without significant policy changes. He highlights that humanity is already experiencing a mass extinction event. The World Wildlife Fund reports a 60% decline in vertebrate mammals since 1970, while insect populations may have plummeted by 75% in recent decades.

Our oceans currently absorb much of the atmospheric emissions, preventing even higher global temperatures. However, they remain highly vulnerable to pollution and other impacts. Wallace-Wells, author of "The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming" (https://amzn.to/2Of5N3y), emphasizes the critical state of these vital ecosystems.
