Fewer than 25 red wolves remain in the wild, with five killed by vehicle strikes this year alone in North Carolina. These devastating losses, including that of two-year-old Muppet, highlight the urgent need for a wildlife crossing to protect this endangered species.

A generous donor has pledged a $2 million match for a Red Wolf Wildlife Crossing Fund. However, we must raise an additional $2 million in matching funds by August 31st to secure crucial federal funding for its construction.

Help secure a safer future for red wolves. Join the campaign and contribute today: biologicaldiversity.org

Fungi, a diverse and largely unseen kingdom, sustain nearly all living systems through ancient mycorrhizal networks. Despite their critical role, climate change and conservation efforts largely overlook them, focusing on plants and animals. This oversight is detrimental, as destroying fungal networks accelerates climate change, biodiversity loss, and disrupts vital global nutrient cycles.

Biologist Merlin Sheldrake, author of *Entangled Life*, emphasizes fungi's critical importance. He discusses the visionary work of the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN) in mapping and protecting global mycorrhizal communities, alongside research on carbon and nutrient flow within these networks. This keynote was delivered at the 2024 Bioneers Conference.
