In my part of Alaska, not far from Anchorage, winter solstice is always a dark day, but not because of the lack of light. Instead, I lament the impending loss of winter’s long nights, with all their calm and beauty. This makes me a contrarian amid all the hoopla over returning light. Yet, as we freefall into a climate-changed world, it seems more people are giving darkness and its benefits a fresh look. kAm(6 368:?

While the climate and biodiversity crises demand attention — and cause more than a little anxiety — we should save some bandwidth for encouraging news, too. Every year members of the wildlife communities around us achieve feats that cast new light on the world we live in. Sometimes they expand their ranges, recover territory, or simply survive against the odds. Often these feats are aided by human conservation work.

The administration of Alaska’s Republican governor, Mike Dunleavy,awarded at least $1m in state funds to a group claiming to represent a consensus of Indigenous support for new Arctic oil drilling, new research shows.
