View print sizes for Majestic Manta by Brian Moghari: Story Behind the Photograph: Majestic Manta I’ve spent hundreds of hours filming and photographing in our oceans, and every once in a while something truly unexpected happens. In 2019, I was filming whale sharks near Isla Mujeres Mexico for National Geographic’s first ever live VR shark experience. In this particular area, hundreds of millions of eggs from the fish known as the Little Tunny are released into the food chain, attracting whale sharks throughout the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. This spawning alone is responsible for the world’s largest whale shark aggregation which was scientifically discovered only a decade before in 2009.

View print sizes for Isle of the Wolf by April Bencze: Story Behind the Photograph: Isle of the Wolf I met a wolf who held oceans of peace inside of them. This doesn’t mean their teeth aren’t capable of tearing flesh. It means we creatures who live on this earth cannot be measured by such scales as good and evil. These binaries cannot begin to house the complexities and paradoxes that exist within each one of us.

Covid: How I learned to Reduce My Use
The one thing Covid-19 helped me do was to reduce my carbon footprint. Along with the rest of the world, my daily routine changed a lot, almost over night. Many of the things I used to do every day, which contributed to my carbon footprint, ceased to exist. So, reducing my carbon footprint was pretty easy. I didn't really have a choice. My goal for the remainder of 2021 is to see how many things that became part of my Covid-19 routine, which resulted in minimizing my carbon footprint, I can reasonably sustain.

The Lazy Girl’s Guide to a Less Wasteful Existence
I’m lazy. Don’t get me up early. Don’t give me too many things to do per day. Let me meander through life at my own pace. I’m also a chronic worrier. I freak out about what’s in my food, what’s in my hair products and what’s going to happen to the world if we don’t stop using so much stuff!

Permaculture In Thailand
4 years ago today, I had never traveled outside the United States. I was just a kid from New Jersey about to graduate from college with only a small idea of what I wanted to do with my life. All I knew was that it had to be something meaningful. Flash forward to June of that year, and I’m on a plane, alone, traveling across the world to Thailand and Laos.

De La Soul
Y'all, I'm leaking. With the end of Aries season (but honestly at the start), the weather changes, and our good yellow friends decide to come out to play. Being in New York, though, you can't help but love Spring. People just seem nicer. Nothing is too overcrowded since some of us are still hibernating, but this city itself seems to do a great inhale from March to mid-June. A living organism that does what we all do after a real good sleep, yawn.
