Kyoto's gardens provide habitats for local amphibians
Where they could once hop and amble freely, urbanization is diminishing amphibians' habitats. Yet small-scale water bodies managed by people - such as those found in the gardens of Japan's temples, shrines and schools - remain within urban areas, providing oases for our moist neighbors.
Environment stories track ecosystems recovering, species rebounding, clean energy milestones, and conservation wins. Climate news is included when the story centers on measurable progress rather than projections of future damage. We believe tracking what is working is as important as tracking what is not.
