The CLEO Institute

Happy Father’s Day to all dads, but especially the ones who do the heavy lifting! 🪸

Meet the seahorse dad. In the seahorse world, mom hands over the eggs, and dad takes it from there. He carries the developing babies in a specialized pouch, supplies them with oxygen and nutrients, and eventually goes through labor to bring them into the world.

When the time comes, a seahorse father can give birth to hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of tiny seahorses in a single brood. Talk about earning the right to take a nap.

Today, we celebrate every father who nurtures, protects, sacrifices, and helps the next generation thrive. And we give a special nod to the seahorse dads, who take parenting to extraordinary lengths.

Each stripe represents one year. Blue years were cooler than the long-term average. Red years were warmer. As the colors shift over time, they reveal a planet that is steadily warming. For Day, Chief Meteorologist Jeff Berardelli shares the story behind the iconic warming stripes and why this simple visualization has become a powerful way to communicate our changing climate.

The future isn’t written yet. By supporting science-based solutions, we can still turn things around.

Take a moment to watch, learn, and share your stripes. 🌎

A mother collared pratincole recently captured global attention after standing her ground as a tractor approached her nest. These remarkable birds nest directly on open ground, relying on camouflage to hide their eggs from predators.

Moments like this are a powerful reminder that we share the landscape with wildlife. Just as it’s not really “shark-infested waters” but a shark’s home, or a deer “crossing the road” when, in reality, the road crossed its habitat, our perspective often overlooks that we are the newcomers. As habitats continue to shrink and fragment through development, these moments underscore the importance of designing communities that leave room for wildlife to survive and coexist.

We’d love to see your wildlife moments!

🚨BREAKING: “Drought conditions along with excessive heat is fueling a wildfire just west of Doral. It’s burning very close to a Florida Power & Light substation and a state prison. Smoke will affect air quality across northern Miami-Dade and southern Broward counties.” — WPLG Local 10, shared via video posted by Brandon Orr

With crews still focused on containment in Doral, questions are already emerging about the long-term future of the affected land and steps that could help prevent similar fires.
