In March 2024, a remarkable botanical discovery was made in Big Bend National Park, Texas, when park volunteer Deb Manley spotted an unusual plant during a hike. Dubbed the "woolly devil" for its fuzzy white foliage and striking maroon ray florets, this tiny member of the sunflower family thrives in the harsh, rocky soils of the Chihuahuan Desert, blooming only after rainfall. Subsequent research by scientists from the California Academy of Sciences and collaborating institutions revealed that this plant represents not only a new species but also a new genus—the first such discovery in a U.S. national park in nearly 50 years.

a sustainable aquaponics system powered by solar energy, integrating fish farming with vertical hydroponic plant growth. The solar panel at the top supplies energy to circulate water between the fish tank and the vertical garden. The fish tank, filled with aquatic life, provides nutrient-rich water that is pumped to irrigate the plants growing on the vertical structure. The plants absorb the nutrients, filtering and purifying the water before it returns to the tank, creating a closed-loop system. This eco-friendly setup conserves water while producing both fish and fresh vegetables in a self-sustaining manner. The vertical garden maximizes space efficiency, making it ideal for urban farming. Such systems promote sustainable food production and reduce environmental impact by utilizing renewable energy.
