Let’s be honest — it’s difficult to be a consumer of news right now. The barrage of actions taken by this administration and by Congress that will do harm to species and ecosystems is relentless. Hard-won legal protections for human, plant and animal communities are being eroded daily, while longstanding programs that employ scientists to analyze data are rapidly dismantled. Many Americans are limiting the amount of news they consume, given how emotionally taxing it has become to pay attention.

Lately, it feels as if it’s getting harder to find joy. We wake each day to the news of sweeping cuts to government programs that serve anyone other than the rich and powerful while our communities are torn apart by disdain, hate and the threat of harassment and deportation and our environment suffers as already insufficient laws and programs are thrown wholesale on the bonfire of the vanities. Yet finding joy is still possible and, I would argue, essential.
