Oceans cover 71% of Earth, sustaining over a billion people. Yet, overfishing is rapidly depleting this vital resource, threatening life and protein for a hungry planet.

Fortunately, oceans are remarkably resilient. Ten countries manage most wild seafood, and Oceana has achieved critical policy victories in many, safeguarding over a million square miles.

We can reverse this decline by ending overfishing, controlling bycatch, and protecting ocean nurseries. Join Oceana today to help ensure bountiful oceans for generations to come.

Fungi form a complex, vital underground network of mycorrhizal threads, exchanging nutrients and forming symbiotic partnerships essential for life on Earth. Visionary biologists Toby Kiers and Merlin Sheldrake explore these wonders in an episode of Bioneers' *Nature's Genius* series.

Dr. Kiers is Executive Director and Chief Scientist of SPUN (Society for the Protection of Underground Networks) and a Professor at VU Amsterdam. Dr. Sheldrake, a biologist and writer, is a research associate at Vrije University Amsterdam, works with SPUN, and advises the Fungi Foundation.

Explore the promise and perils of new A.I. technologies. Can we harness artificial intelligence to solve global challenges without creating an uncontrollable force? With tools like ChatGPT now answering complex questions and generating realistic content, we face a critical dilemma: should we celebrate these advancements or worry about their implications?

Correspondent Miles O'Brien investigates how researchers are leveraging A.I. for major solutions in fields from medicine to climate change. For more, visit the official website: https://to.pbs.org/3Py2WDL.

UNEP has partnered with syndicated cartoonist Jim Toomey for a video series addressing ocean litter.

Trash, even from upstream, travels hundreds of miles to remote oceans, causing billions in damage and threatening marine life and human health.

The "Two Minutes on Oceans with Jim Toomey" series uses animation and humor to simplify complex scientific issues for the public. View additional videos at: www.rona.unep.org/toomey

Arctic sea ice has reached a record low wintertime maximum extent for the second consecutive year. Scientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Center and NASA reported this finding, noting the extent reached 5.607 million square miles on March 24. This represents the lowest maximum extent recorded in the satellite era.

An accompanying animation illustrates the Arctic sea ice freeze cycle, from its previous summertime minimum to this new wintertime maximum. (Credit: NASA Goddard's Scientific Visualization Studio/C. Starr)

Witness the magnificent California condor in its natural habitat. As North America's largest land bird, it boasts an impressive 10-foot wingspan.

Watch it soar to heights of 15,000 feet, traveling up to 250 miles daily in search of its next meal.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game plans to kill bears to save the struggling Mulchatna caribou herd, which has plummeted from 200,000 to 16,000. However, scientists and conservation groups,

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game plans to kill bears to save the struggling Mulchatna caribou herd, which has plummeted from 200,000 to 16,000. However, scientists and conservation groups, including the Center for Biological Diversity, contend this program lacks scientific support. Courts have already ruled against the initiative.

Independent experts identify disease and food scarcity, exacerbated by climate change, as the primary drivers of the caribou's decline, not bear predation. They assert that killing bears will not achieve long-term recovery. Wildlife management should prioritize science, sustainability, and ecosystem protection over scapegoating.

The first 20 miles of Trump's border wall have been constructed in New Mexico. This initial section was built using 2018 congressional funding, despite a 2019 government shutdown over wall appropriations.

Future wall construction is slated for Texas and California.

Urge Congress to deny further funding for this destructive border wall: https://bit.ly/2Gv75pi

James founded "Phone credit for refugees and displaced people" after an eye-opening trip to Calais. What began as a Facebook group evolved into an organization providing vital phone credit to displaced adults and children worldwide. This initiative offers the gift of communication to those separated from family and friends, far from home, and in uncertain circumstances.

The organization has supplied over £700,000 worth of phone credit, enabling people to contact loved ones, stay updated with news, and summon emergency, life-saving assistance. With over 70,000 Facebook followers, their impact is significant. James's talk explores the boundaries of compassion and responsibility, defining community, and how he found a creative solution.

This talk was given at a TEDx event, independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
