Woohoo!
The Verge received a Covering Climate Now award for this story about a quirky and determined community of scientists and locals bringing forests back to life in Costa Rica, despite new perils brought on by climate change. They were so fun to hang out with, hope this story feels like a trip into the forest with them!
