  1. These Are The Best Bike Paths in National Parks

    Photo: Grant Ordelheide Most national parks don’t allow bikes on dirt trails, whether or not they’re e-bikes, but that doesn’t mean biking is off limits. Many national parks have designated multi-use paths, some paved and some gravel, that offer a scenic way to explore without having to go deep into the backcountry or stick to the roads. These car-free paths provide a safe and fun way for everyone to get out on two wheels, whether you’re looking for some serious miles at Grand Teton […]

  2. As #EastAfrica’s oceans change, coastal women build new livelihoods

    MALINDI, #Kenya (AP) — "The unfinished restaurant is still little more than concrete walls and wooden beams. As her daughter sweeps away the last piles of sand, 54-year-old Nuru Mohammed directs women hanging fishing nets to serve as decor. In a few days, the beachside restaurant on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast will open, offering another way to earn a living.

    " 'For us women, this is hope,' says Mohammed, who, for most of her life, was one of the few fisherwomen in Malindi, a town northeast of the port city of #Mombasa. 'It will help support many families that have depended on the ocean for decades.'

    "Across East Africa’s coast, fisherfolk are increasingly turning to tourism, #EcosystemRestoration and other conservation-based businesses, reinventing their relationship with the sea as #ClimateChange, #overfishing and declining ocean health threaten their livelihoods.

    "In Kenya, women are turning restored #MangroveForests into sources of income through #beekeeping and #ecotourism. In #Tanzania’s #Zanzibar archipelago, fishing communities are protecting #CoralReefs through locally managed closures. In #Mozambique, #SeaGrassRestoration is creating jobs while reviving marine habitats. Together, these efforts are redefining resilience, not as leaving the ocean behind, but as restoring it while building enduring livelihoods.

    " 'Communities that depend on the ocean are also its best stewards,' said Andreane Martel, project director for a conservation program dubbed #ReSea. 'When local people, especially women, lead conservation, they protect #biodiversity while creating more resilient and inclusive livelihoods.' "

    Media mogul and philanthropist Ted Turner bought vast stretches of land in Colorado, New Mexico, Montana and Nebraska and managed them for conservation and wildlife protection.

    One property, the 363,000-acre Armendaris Ranch in south-central New Mexico is shielded from development by the nation’s second-largest permanent conservation easement. hcn.org/articles/ted-turner-ow
