Adopting Sustainable Food Practices
This video segment adapted from United Tribes Technical College looks at how the traditional subsistence practices of indigenous people were once sustainable, unlike today's lifestyles. Most foods are now produced and transported using methods that can damage the environment and contribute to climate change.
Virtual Field Trip Video: China's Great Forests | Nature Works Everywhere
Join our expert scientist Yue Wang, a conservation planning officer for The Nature Conservancy, on a virtual field trip across the world to two stunning provinces in China—Sichuan and Yunnan—where we will explore majestic forests, towering mountains, and other iconic landscapes. While examining the role these vital natural areas play in the carbon cycle and climate change, as well as the benefits of reforestation, we will learn about the magnificent creatures who call these habitats home: giant pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, and the elusive and odd-looking takin.

Virtual Field Trip Video: Africa | Nature Works Everywhere
Experience a virtual field trip to Africa to learn how locals are working together to restore forestlands, protect wildlife, and promote ecotourism, hosted by PBS LearningMedia, The Nature Conservancy, and field scientist Charles Oluchina. This event was originally recorded on Thursday, February 5, 2015.
Harvesting Herring Eggs | EARTH A New Wild
Using a method that goes back generations, fishermen in Alaska use an entirely natural method to harvest eggs from spawning herring. Use this resource to teach about sustainable farming and customs indigenous to Alaska and Canada.
Why Does Climate Change Matter?
In this video segment adapted from United Tribes Technical College, hear young Native Americans talk about climate change. Listen as they respond to the question, "Why does climate change matter?" They share their opinions about the importance of climate; their thoughts on how climate change is affecting weather, oceans, and ice; and their fears about the impacts for future generations.
The Coastal Zone: Santee Delta (00:03:47)
The Student Host takes a boat ride with a geologist from the South Carolina Coastal Council. They travel from a landing where U.S. Highway 17 crosses the Norlh Santee River, through the delta to the Atlantic Ocean.
Earth System: Drought and Air Quality
Droughts claim more victims each year than any other natural disaster. Depending on where it occurs and how long it persists, the cost of a drought can run into the billions of dollars. Droughts cause more than economic hardship, however. As this video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center demonstrates, droughts have a complex web of impacts that also affect us socially and environmentally.
This video is available in both English and Spanish audio, along with corresponding closed captions.
Navajo Elders' Observations on Climate Change
In this video segment adapted from Navajo Technical College, two Navajo Elders speak about climate change and the differences in the environment that they have observed. They have noticed changes in the rainy season, including more violent storms, and changes in the characteristics of both wind and snow. They describe the disappearance of some plants during their lifetime and express concern about how changes in climate are negatively affecting people and animals.
Observing Changes in Snowfall
In this video segment adapted from the College of Menominee Nation, Menominee language instructor John Teller describes the implications of climate change on the Menominee Indian Tribe, whose reservation is located in northeast Wisconsin. Teller has observed changing conditions, including snowfall that arrives later in the year. He describes how the snow and cold weather are connected both to the customs and the well-being of the Menominee Nation. Because of this, he says, the tribe must do something to protect the Earth.
Virtual Field Trip Video: Wild Biomes | Nature Works Everywhere
On this virtual field trip, you'll travel to the lush, rain-soaked splendor of Washington State's Olympic Peninsula and explore the urban watershed of Seattle. Then you'll head to Arizona's dry, desert landscape and take a tour down the Verde River, one source of water that nourishes this parched land. Join The Nature Conservancy's water scientist Kari Vigerstol to find out how geography, people, and water interact in two of America's "wildly" unique biomes. The field trip is geared toward grades 3-8 in the areas of science and geography. Download the teacher's guide for post-viewing discussion questions and related activities. The content of this virtual field trip is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and the National Geography Standards.
Nature's First Defenders: Video | Nature Works Everywhere
Indigenous people—nature's first defenders—play a vital role in sustaining our planet. This video, along with the accompanying Nature's First Defenders teacher's guide and lessons, enables students to understand that role and to explore the many perspectives and issues involved in conservation, including how we relate to nature, how culture influences our points of view, what tools we have to be engaged in the conversation, and how we might address and reconcile differences.

Phylicia Rashad's ex-husband glows with happiness in rare photos with his 32-year-younger 5th wife
By Edduin Carvajal
https://news.amomama.com/122842-phylicia-rashads-husband-glows-happiness.html
Ahmad Rashad, the ex-husband of actress and singer Phylicia Rashad, took to Instagram to share a slideshow next to his fifth wife.
In the first image, Ahmad appeared wearing a black and white suit with a bow tie while the lady, Ana Luz Rodriguez Paz, put on a beautiful red dress and golden earrings. The rest of the photos portrayed the couple taking different poses.
One of the most interesting aspects of their relationship is that Ahmad is 69 years old while Ana, a psychologist from South Florida, is 37. For the caption, Ahmad wrote "Red," followed by a red heart emoji.
Ahmed, a former NFL player who became a sportscaster, married Ana on April 30, 2016. The ceremony took place in Palm Beach Gardens, and one of the woman's family members led it.
The man's romantic life has been filled with failed marriages. Her first wife was Deidra Waters. They tied the knot on August 10, 1969. Unfortunately, the couple parted ways in January 1970, being Ahmad's shortest marriage so far.
Six years later, the former NFL player married Matilda Johnson. While everybody thought that their romance would be long, they got divorced in 1979, only three years after saying "I Do."

Ahmad's third wife was Phylicia, and his proposal was labeled as one of the most original ones for the era. He did so while NBC network was broadcasting Thanksgiving Day game between Detroit Lions and New York Jets. Ahmad, working as a commentator from the field, said on national TV, "Phylicia, will you marry me?"
They got married in December 1985 and, after being together for 15 years, the couple got divorced. Ahmad's fourth wife was Sale Johnson. They tied the knot in November 2007 and parted ways in 2013.
As a result of walking down the aisle five times, Ahmad is the father of ten children in total, including one stepson and three stepdaughters. So far, it is not known whether or not the former NFL player and Ana are planning to have children.

Apart from being a successful psychologist, Ana has worked in the entertainment industry, too. She got the leading role in the 2007 indie drama "Consensual Injustice," based on the Ponce Massacre, the killing on anti-US protesters in 1937 Puerto Rico.
Since 2012, Ahmad has been narrating the yearly highlight films for NBA championships.
