United Nations: The World In Faces
Diverse cultures of the world through the portraits of Indigenous Peoples
This exhibition honors Indigenous Peoples’ right to their cultures, identities and traditions, and their right to self-determination by determining their own policies and strategies with respect to their cultural heritage and traditional systems. These rights are enshrined in many of the articles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

Rewilding
Planning, Monitoring, Documenting Species Integration Knowledge
Rewilding is a newer term to most people, and it comes with some immediate reticence as concerns come to mind. And that's good. We can't drop-kick a species back into it's home without disrupting the balance of those creatures, as well as all of the living organisms the will reside with.
Integrating a new species, or deciding donate land usage for a cause that seemed great at first, but was destined to fail because it wasn't well-thought out before it turned into action.
This section will continuously populate information on what it is, where it is, and what's teaching us to do it right.

Scientists pilot a new method to measure the health of wild polar bears
Allostatic load refers to the “wear and tear” on the body that results from chronic stress. In humans, high allostatic load increases the risk for disease and death. A team of scientists used allostatic load principles to create a health scoring model for polar bears in Alaska and Canada’s Southern Beaufort Sea, where the population has declined by 25-50%. The model included measures of nutritional, immune, and chronic stress—factors that are all highly relevant, given the threats facing polar bears. This project was carried out by biologists from the University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences (UW SAFS), United States Geological Survey (USGS), and Fish and Wildlife Health Consulting.
