Environmental narratives are powerful storytelling tools that present environmental issues and concepts in a compelling and relatable manner. They are essential in the field of environmental studies, especially in college where students are trained to convey complex environmental dynamics effectively. This post will guide you on how to craft compelling environmental narratives in college. Understanding […]

Harnessing the Power of Tidal Energy
As the world searches for sustainable and reliable sources of clean electricity, innovative ideas such as tidal energy are becoming increasingly important. This post explores the potential of tidal energy in providing an environmentally friendly and predictable source of electrical power for the future. What is Tidal Energy? Tidal energy is a form of hydropower […]
Crape Murder – They Murdered the trees to Spite the Birds
Crape Murder in Brackenridge Park. The Murder left Crape Myrtle stripped of all her leaves, she was naked, with her crown (top) cut off by city workers known as “Tree Topping.” The other “modified” trees in the park included Cypress, Ash, Pecan, and Oaks that were left with multiple wounds. They murdered the trees to […]
Driving wildlife into urban areas – then blaming them for the aftermath!
It was around seven o’clock last night when we spotted what we thought was a fox in Brackenridge Park, the creature came out of the shadows of the Joske Pavillion (No lights on). To our surprise it was a Coyote that ran by on the sidewalk. In the spring of 2022, we spotted a wild […]
As giant ice shelves collapse amid global warming in the Canadian Arctic, experts call for more protection for the “Last Ice Area” and the diverse communities of plants and animals living there.
Using tools which included video taken by a robot submarine, a Canadian research team recently discovered an amazing array of plants and animals, living in the heart of Milne, the very ice shelf which broke apart just this summer north of Ellesmere Island (above), losing almost half of its mass. Dr. Derek Mueller, Professor of […]
New research shows, two closely-related species of wild cats in Ontario, Canada, may face starkly different futures. Is this “survival of the fittest?”
To the untrained eye, the two species might pass as overgrown house cats. They’re actually “felids” or mammals belonging to felidae, a family of wild cats. Both live side by side in the wilds of Ontario, north of Lake Huron. Researchers at the University of Trent in Peterborough, Ontario, looked at bobcat and lynx numbers, […]
Rapidly warming oceans have left many northern marine mammals swimming in troubled waters. But perhaps none more so than than the strange and mysterious “unicorn of the sea,” the narwhal.
An exhaustive new study estimates, habitat suitable to narwhals could shrink by a staggering twenty-five percent by century’s end. Thanks to manmade climate change, their watery home is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth. And, in a scant few decades, sea-ice, so vital to their survival, could be gone altogether during Arctic summers. Narwhals […]
The plight of the “Short-Ear.” A wild dog in trouble
Whether famous or obscure, Earth’s wild creatures cannot hide from the hand of man. Scant months ago, more than a billion animals, including iconic kangaroos and cuddly koalas, perished in Australia’s calamitous bushfires, found by scientists to have been worsened by man-made climate change. Now, researchers say, one of Amazonia’s least-known species could be all […]
