"Taiwan is one of the few places on Earth where trees can grow this tall. ... The species behind the new record, Taiwania cryptomerioides, is known to the Indigenous Rukai people as “the tree that hits the moon.”

We've got a big feature out today (with gorgeous photographs) about the Ukrainian conservationists working to save a herd of bison from the ongoing Russian invasion. It's about the hope that conservation can offer in times of war, and the ways that animals' lives are entangled human geopolitics.
