Mauna Loa eruption no longer endangers Saddle Road traffic
Lava from Mauna Loa is no longer an imminent threat to the Daniel K. Inouye Highway as the supply to the active flow front has slowed. Officials cautioned conditions could change, but current lava production has reduced the risk to the main Big Island route.

Fort Belknap rewilds swift foxes and ferrets on plains
Native tribes restore imperiled wildlife on Fort Belknap Reservation with support from elders and World Wildlife Fund. Aaniiih Nakoda College students trap, vaccinate, and release endangered black footed ferrets and swift foxes into prairie dog colonies, linking cultural renewal with conservation. Ferret and fox populations face plague, habitat loss, and past persecution, but tribal biologists and elders emphasize kinship with wildlife as central to restoration. Volunteers work with Smithsonian Zoo and local authorities to expand reintroduction across reservations, aiming to rebalance the landscape and sustain native traditions.
