Using cutting-edge mapping technology and tiny, digital grizzlies programmed to behave like real ones, bear specialist Dr. Sarah Sells and her team are able to make unprecedented predictions for the species. They can forecast the migration routes that expanding populations of grizzly bears will take and where they are likely to make their new homes. She and her team at the Montana Cooperative Research Unit (C.R.U) are conducting research that directly informs wildlife management decisions and improves the chances that grizzlies can continue returning to their former home ranges where they have been absent for more than one hundred years.

Laly Lichtenfeld and Neovitus Sianga’s work at African People and Wildlife (AP&W) centers on the linkages between people, wildlife and the diverse ecosystems they call home. For decades surrounding their base of operations in Tanzania, there have been intense and seemingly intractable conflicts between wildlife and people. Since 2005 AP&W has been making impressive progress on mitigating these conflicts with simple, ingenious solutions that can be implemented by livestock managers and whole communities on their own. Importantly, they support the use of these solutions through a multitude of ongoing programs that include youth environmental education, women-owned business ventures, continuous monitoring and evaluation, and infrastructure such as their now famous 'living wall enclosures' to protect livestock from predators. As a result, their methodology and values-based approach is being replicated across Africa where others seek similarly effective solutions to help nature and  humans coexist.

Trekking 11,000 kilometers over the entire length of South America was cool, but for Gregg Treinish— adventurer and National Geographic Explorer of the Year—something was missing. He wondered if somehow he could bring together his passion for being outdoors, his love of big-time adventuring, and his deep interest in science. And there was one more thing; he wanted to somehow make the world a better place. By later starting his own organization, Adventure Scientists, he devised a clever way to accomplish all of the above and to help thousands of other extraordinary adventurers from around the globe become a part of the action.

Briana Warner became a food systems entrepreneur when she identified a risky yet exciting opportunity: the Maine lobster fishing fleet worked only seasonally. The rest of the year boats were largely idle, and local economies felt the pinch. Enter the sea-grown kelp business. Briana realized a new additive industry could produce a triple win. It would bolster local economic vitality, produce an ecological advantage for the sea, and create ultra healthy food for customers. Now Briana’s company, Atlantic Sea Farms, is the largest line-grown kelp company in the U.S. and her team's success is reverberating locally and nationally.They are providing a positive new model in the food industry for responsibly grown food that is seriously healthy and delicious.
