Oh, what a year it’s been. This year at The Revelator we’ve covered everything from the current and future effects of climate change to several painful extinctions — as well as a few species at imminent risk of disappearing. We’ve also dug into solutions and talked to the people helping to make a difference for wildlife and the planet.
