Cheyenne to host massive AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combined A massive AI data center proposed near Cheyenne, Wyoming, would use more electricity than all homes in the state combined.

This feels like a good time to remind everyone that the cleanest energy is the energy we never use in the first place.

Male greater sage grouse perform an unusual mating โ€œdanceโ€ in which they inflate yellow air sacs on their chest and thrust forth their heads, making loud popping noises.

These charismatic birds are threatened by habitat fragmentation caused by oil drilling.

Add your name: Wolves are treasures, not trophies - Environmental Action Action needed: This state is trying to kill 500 wolves

Montana just proposed killing a shocking 500 wolves this winter.

That's 500 wolves who will never get another chance to play with their pack, howl at the moon, or raise new pups.

The state is only accepting public comments until Aug. 4. Add your name: Wolves are treasures, not trophies.

Fast fashion is trying an Earth-friendly makeover. Is it real? Hereโ€™s what fast fashion brands are doing to be more sustainable, what may be motivating those efforts and how to avoid getting fooled by greenwashing.

"Producing textiles is typically a resource-intensive process that guzzles water while spewing greenhouse gases and pollution."

Tell your U.S. House representative: No more wolf hunts - Environmental Action This bill would open the door to hundreds more wolves being slaughtered.

For years, Rep. Lauren Boebert has pushed to erase protections for gray wolves.

Now, the language from her bill has been slipped into new spending legislation.

Tell Congress: No more wolf hunts.

Wolves have made a remarkable recovery in the U.S. So why are they being killed? Wolf poaching is on the rise; the perpetrators are hardly ever found.

"Because wolves are social animals, their deaths cause a ripple of consequencesโ€”particularly if a parent dies, because mates raise litters together."

Ghost wolves: As Idaho aims to reduce its wolf population, advocates worry counts aren't accurate Thirty years after wolves were brought back from near extinction in the U.S. Rocky Mountains, the state of Idaho is back in the wolf-killing business.

"The state's goal is to reduce the wolf population down from the estimated average of 1,270 wolves to a new average of about 500 wolves, with a low of about 350 wolves."

Hawaiian monk seals, or 'ฤซlio holo i ka uaua in Hawaiian, are the only seals native to Hawaii and are found nowhere else on Earth.

With approximately 1,600 seals left, they're also one of the most endangered marine mammals in the world.

Experts thrilled as wolves expand into new US territory after turbulent century: 'It's inspiring to watch this renaissance' "Wolves are pretty fragile."
