Welcome to The Wild!
The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970. Nowadays, happenings are sprinkled throughout April and combined with other events, such as National Park Week. Many people (I’m one of them) believe that every day is Earth Day. So give some thought to how you want to mark the day because climate change is the defining environmental threat of our time. Here are eight events not to miss.

1. President Biden and 40 world leaders will discuss climate change and you’re invited.

When Jonathan Meiburg came across a striated caracara, he was astonished by the bird of prey’s curious nature and uncanny gaze.
“I had never seen anything like them,” he recalls. “They look something like a combination of a crow and a hawk. They just don’t act the way you think of a bird of prey acting, or any wild animal for that matter. They come right up to you.”
After college, Meiburg won a fellowship and went on to document community life across the Earth. He followed in the footsteps of Charles Darwin, who also studied striated caracaras nearly 200 years ago in the Falkland Islands.
