To Drill, or Not to Drill? That’s the Wrong Question.

10,000 Birds

As we enter the second century of protecting, preserving, and respecting our wild spaces, certainly no one would actually consider undoing, reversing, and exploiting our national parks, forests, and monuments. Right? And yet, it has begun. Minnesota’s Superior National Forest is now on the radar for underground mineral mining. In an area known for ‘the cleanest water in the world,’ 234,000 acres were sheltered from mining exploration…until now.

In the Age of AI, Training Is More Critical Than Ever

Sales and Marketing Management

Author: Erik Charles When sales professionals look at artificial intelligence (AI), what do they see? If they’re technology-averse, they might see a threat to their jobs. If they are big fans of technology, they might see a silver bullet that instantly boosts their results. Both of these visions are as extreme as they are wrong.

10,000 Birds

Cloud forest is a special habitat and not just because the Resplendent Quetzal calls it home.

Rainbow Bee-eaters
