When the Vietnam War finally ended on April 30, 1975, it left behind a landscape scarred with environmental damage. Vast stretches of coastal mangroves, once housing rich stocks of fish and birds, lay in ruins. Forests that had boasted hundreds of species were reduced to dried-out fragments, overgrown with invasive grasses. The term “ecocide” had been coined in the late 1960s to describe the US military’s use of herbicides like Agent Orange and incendiary weapons like napalm to battle guerrilla

Like giant bones planted in the earth, clusters of tree trunks, stripped clean of bark, are appearing along the Chesapeake Bay on the United States’ mid-Atlantic coast. They are ghost forests: the haunting remains of what were once stands of cedar and pine. Since the late 19th century, an ever-widening swath of these trees have died along the shore. And they won’t be growing back. These arboreal graveyards are showing up in places where the land slopes gently into the ocean and where salty wate

Modern humans evolved around 300,000 years ago, but only began inhabiting rainforests much later. In fact, the earliest archaeological evidence of humans living in rainforest habitats is only about 70,000 years old. Surprising new research suggests that the timeline extends more than 80,000 years further into the past. After reinvestigating a site in modern-day Côte d’Ivoire, an international team of researchers claims that humans (Homo sapiens) began living in rainforests as early as 150,000 y
