California boasts a 150-year legacy of environmental leadership, protecting wilderness, restricting oil drilling, regulating emissions, and boosting energy efficiency. Its foresight was recognized in the 1963 Clean Air Act, granting a waiver for stricter state standards—a tool still vital today in challenging national CAFE standard changes.

Explore California's pioneering environmental policy, examining its successes and challenges. The state has committed to 100% zero-carbon electricity and carbon neutrality by 2045. Experts, including John Hofmeister (Shell), Bob Holycross (Ford), and Mary Nichols (CARB), will discuss this bold move for the world's fifth-largest economy. Learn more at https://climateone.org/.

The Northern White Rhinoceros is functionally extinct due to poaching, with only two individuals remaining. A video featuring Dr. Barbara Durrant explores whether the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's "frozen zoo" can reverse this. This unique biotech facility aims to use in vitro fertilization to implant a Northern White Rhino embryo into a closely related Southern White Rhino. If successful, this groundbreaking procedure could rescue critically endangered species and potentially resurrect extinct ones.
