According to several scientific studies, nature is healthier on the lands that Indigenous people manage or own. Indigenous-managed lands in Brazil, Canada and Australia have as much, or more, biodiversity than lands set aside for conservation by federal and other governments. Historically, conservation efforts have had a troubled record of forcing people off their land. Now, Indigenous leaders view a global push [to protect at least 30 percent of the planet’s land and water by 2030](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiLSvsP0ToaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wMy8xMS9jbGltYXRlL25hdHVyZS1jb25zZXJ2YXRpb24tMzAtcGVyY2VudC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjEwMzExJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTI3OTY3Jm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTUzMjYxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpgSOymSmDrJHUiUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) with a mixture of hope and worry. Awapu Uru Eu Wau Wau, above, led an expedition in the Brazilian Amazon to chase out illegal loggers in 2019. “If you’re going to save only the insects and the animals and not the Indigenous people, there’s a big contradiction,” said the head of the Coordinator of Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon River Basin. “We’re one ecosystem.” Getty Images 7. “Reply All” was applauded for its reporting on the experiences of employees of color at Bon Appétit. Then came the tweets. Four days after the podcast released the second episode of “The Test Kitchen,” a former employee of Gimlet Media (the parent company of “Reply All”) accused the hosts of being hypocritical and contributing to a “toxic dynamic.” As stories poured out about working at Gimlet, there was online outrage, and days later, “Reply All” canceled the series.

The Pitching Ninja will see you now.

And finally, the battle of the snowflakes. To photograph snowflakes, Nathan Myhrvold took 18 months to build an entirely new camera with the best sensors that captured a million pixels. Last year, he emerged with what he called the highest resolution images of flakes ever produced, like the one shown above. Don Komarechka, a lower tech photographer, uses a store-bought camera and a high-power macro lens to snap his snowflakes. To challenge Dr. Myhrvold’s claims, he took an image that he says was even higher resolution. His rival, whose snowflakes are sharper when printed at expansive sizes, disagreed. [Both methods produce stunning results](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiLSvsP0TraHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wMy8xMC9zY2llbmNlL3Nub3dmbGFrZXMtcGhvdG9zLW5hdGhhbi1teWhydm9sZC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjEwMzExJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTI3OTY3Jm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTUzMjYxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpgSOymSmDrJHUiUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).
