A firsthand and photographic look at Floridaâs manatees
Photographer and scientist Jason Gulley decided to use his camera to make people care about nature.

Manatees spend most of their lives in shallow water. As mammals, they need to surface to breathe air. While manatees can hold their breath for up to 20 minutes, they typically surface every three to five to minutes. This photo was taken in Fanning Springs. [ JASON GULLEY | Special to the Times ]

As a research geologist, Iâve spent the last 16 years studying how humans have impacted our planet. A few years ago, I had an epiphany. Scientists know more today about how humans have messed up the planet than at any other point in history. But fewer people believe humans are impacting our planet than when I headed off to university in the late 1990s.

The endangered cat may slowly be recovering in the borderlands, but the Trump border wall may hurt that progress.

Deer, javelinas and a black bear filled the screen as Ganesh Marin scrolled through hundreds of photos taken by one of the trail cameras used for his borderlands wildlife study.
Jaguars could roam across wider areas of the United States than once thought, a new study has found, potentially raising the chances of survival for the endangered cat.
The study, published in conservation journal Oryx on Tuesday, identified a swath of land the size of South Carolina in parts of Arizona and western New Mexico that could potentially support more than 150 jaguars in the future. Since 1996, seven jaguars, all males, have been documented in the U.S.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s jaguar recovery plan, published in April 2019, identified a narrow strip of habitat in the Arizona and New Mexico borderlands that the agency determined could support just six jaguars. The service placed the onus of conservation primarily on Mexico and countries in Central and South America because the majority of existing populations remain south of the border.
