Poaching’s Bloody Human Toll
Poachers are killing wildlife rangers with impunity. Governments and conservation groups must work aggressively to turn this situation around.People are another species inhabiting the biosphere.

Monkeys Could Talk, but They Don’t Have the Brains for It
Monkeys have the physical equipment to produce speech, a new study finds — but they lack the brain wiring for it.Stop fussing about language.
