The more impacted half of Earth’s lands includes cities, croplands, and places intensively ranched or mined.</p> June 11, 2020 - 12:00pm Katherine E Kerlin /climate/news/half-the-earth-relatively-intact-from-global-human-influence Little Creek, Big Impact /news/little-creek-big-impact-0 <p>A small sliver of wildness is having a big impact on the birds, fish and wildlife near ºÙºÙÊÓƵ. Birds at Putah Creek have more than doubled since water was restored to the creek in 2000. "The planet needs places like this," said ºÙºÙÊÓƵ ecologist Melanie Truan.</p> March 14, 2018 - 2:43pm Katherine E Kerlin /news/little-creek-big-impact-0
