As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms media, journalists and conservationists are confronting a new and unsettling reality: What happens when we can no longer trust what we see in nature documentaries and wildlife photography?

In a new essay for the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), WCS's Amelia Wenger and her colleague Jonathan Kelsey of the Bloomberg Ocean Fund argue that as governments and funders move from ambition to delivery, they must ensure that actions to expand ocean protection are matched by investments to reduce the external pressures that undermine it. We must use the full set of tools available, from MPAs to wastewater management, to address the pressures facing marine ecosystems.

"At the Prospect Park Zoo," writes WCS's Carol Yi for PBS Nature in celebration of Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, "I have had the chance to work with a diverse collection of animals鈥攆rom miniature zebus ( a species of cattle) to Hamadryas baboons."
