Once on These Islands • CALIFORNIA’S CHANNEL ISLANDS NATIONAL PARK TELLS A 13,000-YEAR-OLD STORY.

FEATURES

WILD WEST • A JOURNEY INTO NEW MEXICO’S GILA WILDERNESS REVEALS THE ENDURING LEGACY OF PRESERVING OUR NATURAL LANDS—AND RAISES COMPLEX QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS FOR A PLACE TO BE, TRULY, WILD.

WHAT BENEATH • WHEN COULD THE NEXT VOLCAN OSCIENTISTS ARE DIVING FOR CLUES.

BUBBLING FROM BELOW • Underneath Italy’s Aeolian Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea is a labyrinth of faults and fissures that regularly belch gas and lava. For millennia, people have lived among the fiery peaks and fizzing waters that make up this 90-mile arc born of volcanic activity. Today scientists are helping residents better manage the hazards of their unique landscape.

FOREST TO TABLE • MEAT FROM WILD ANIMALS PROVIDES PROTEIN FOR MILLIONS BUT THREATENS WILDLIFE AND CAN BE DANGEROUS FOR HUMAN HEALTH. ARE THERE ALTERNATIVES TO BUSHMEAT?

TASTE OF THE WILD • In the Congo Basin tens of millions of animals are hunted each year, some illegally in protected areas. Wild meat is a food and income source for communities that trade along routes connecting forests with villages and cities. Rising demand in cities, however, is diminishing both animal populations and rural families’ access to food.

METAL FROM THE HEAVENS • Before people learned how to smelt iron, early cultures used iron from meteorites to craft ornaments and weapons.

LIVING IN HARMONY • WOMEN’S QUEST FOR RIGHTS SHAPED THIS BRAZILIAN VILLAGE.
