Explore Explore.org

These days, reading the newspaper can be a bit depressing for those concerned with protecting nature. Between the stalling of climate legislation and the lackluster Copenhagen conference, cold-stunned turtles in Florida, and ever growing patches of garbage in the ocean, its enough to make one want to run off and hide on a remote island in Mexico (like I'll be doing next week, stay tuned for highlights).

For people looking for a ray of sunshine, make your way over Explore.org. This website, recently redone with a user-friendly interface, has inspiring photos and videos of wildlife conservation (including gorillas and dolphins), cultural stories exploring efforts to revive traditional Indian music, and many other topics. Music lovers will enjoy a personal jam session with Jack Johnson in Hawaii.
