A hardened shoreline is seen at Woodland Wharf on the Nanticoke River in Seaford, Del., on May 1, 2025. Compared with natural or restored shorelines, hardened shoreline protection reflects energy back into the water column, reducing shallow water habitat for aquatic wildlife.

Broomsedge bluestem grows in a field at the Nutter's Neck Tract of Nanticoke River Wildlife Management Area in Vienna, Md., on June 1, 2025. At 1,587 acres, Nutter's Neck offers one of the best birding sites in Wicomico County, as well as hiking, deer and dove hunting and a restored northern bobwhite quail population.

My identity is strongly tied to my family and educating. My family comes first if I ever can't navigate it all. That, and the fact my classroom is currently on the other side of the Pacific I am focusing on an environment that represents me as a mom. It doesn't really matter where we are as long as we are together. Here my kids and I are looking at a map exploring where our genetic family and our international family is all spread out for the summer. How the environment that shows are place in the world is a global one.
In 2019, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), the Central American Commission for Environment and Development (CCAD-SICA), the Mesoamerican Alliance of Peoples and Forests (AMPB), Re:wild and ministries of environment, joined together to develop the 5 Great Forests of Mesoamerica Alliance.
Since 2021, with funding from the EU's DeSIRA Program, a pilot project "5 Great Forests of Mesoamerica (5GBM)" was launched, which implements a regional approach to integrated conservation of forest territories that seeks to promote the sustainable development of populations that coexist with forests and base their livelihoods on their forest resources.
In 2022, during COP27, the European Union announced funding for the Large Forests of Mesoamerica Program, which is an escalation of the EU-DeSIRA initiative. The Action will provide a coherent framework for the protection of the last remaining large forests through four components that organize the intervention:
A. Data management, transparency and decision making;
B. Forest governance and biodiversity;
C. Support for deforestation-free, low-carbon production and sustainable trade,
D. Protection of environmental rights and defenders.
Therefore, the side event "Great Forests of Mesoamerica Program: #TeamEurope joins the regional conservation effort" seeks to highlight the prospects for biological and ecosystem connectivity across the Mesoamerican region as well as the situation of agrobiodiversity in the face of the challenges of climate change, reporting on the development process of the Great Forests of Mesoamerica Program (GFMP) and the current situation related to its potential and future challenges.
A phantom crane fly rests on the restoration site of Jabez Branch III, a tributary of the Severn River in Millersville, Md. on May 23, 2025. Funded in part by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), the Jabez Branch III restoration project addresses erosion to reduce downstream sediment pollution into the Severn River.

The Lockheed Martin HC-130J Hercules The Combat King II is the U.S. Air Force's only dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform and is flown by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and Air Combat Command (ACC). This C-130J variation specializes in tactical profiles and avoiding detection and recovery operations in austere environments. The HC-130J replaces HC-130P/Ns as the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. It is an extended-range version of the C-130J Hercules transport. Its mission is to rapidly deploy to execute combatant commander directed recovery operations to austere airfields and denied territory for expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery operations to include airdrop, airland, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area ground refueling missions. When tasked, the aircraft also conducts humanitarian assistance operations, disaster response, security cooperation/aviation advisory, emergency aeromedical evacuation, and noncombatant evacuation operations.
Features
Modifications to the HC-130J have improved navigation, threat detection and countermeasures systems. The aircraft fleet has a fully-integrated inertial navigation and global positioning systems, and night vision goggle, or NVG, compatible interior and exterior lighting. It also has forward-looking infrared, radar and missile warning receivers, chaff and flare dispensers, satellite and data-burst communications, and the ability to receive fuel inflight via a Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI).
The HC-130J can fly in the day; however, crews normally fly night at low to medium altitude levels in contested or sensitive environments, both over land or overwater. Crews use NVGs for tactical flight profiles to avoid detection to accomplish covert infiltration/exfiltration and transload operations. To enhance the probability of mission success and survivability near populated areas, crews employ tactics that include incorporating no external lighting or communications, and avoiding radar and weapons detection.
Drop zone objectives are done via personnel drops and equipment drops. Rescue bundles include illumination flares, marker smokes and rescue kits. Helicopter air-to-air refueling can be conducted at night, with blacked out communication with up to two simultaneous helicopters. Additionally, forward area refueling point operations can be executed to support a variety of joint and coalition partners.
Background
The HC-130J is a result of the HC/MC-130 recapitalization program and replaces Air Combat Command's aging HC-130P/N fleet as the dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. The 71st and 79th Rescue Squadrons in Air Combat Command, the 550th Special Operations Squadron in Air Education and Training Command, the 920th Rescue Group in Air Force Reserve Command and the 106th Rescue Wing, 129th RQW and 176th Wing in the Air National Guard will operate the aircraft.
First flight was 29 July 2010, and the aircraft will serve the many roles and missions of the HC-130P/Ns. It is a modified KC-130J aircraft designed to conduct personnel recovery missions, provide a command and control platform, in-flight-refuel helicopters and carry supplemental fuel for extending range or air refueling.
In April 2006, the personnel recovery mission was transferred back to Air Combat Command at Langley AFB, Va. From 2003 to 2006, the mission was under the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Fla. Previously, HC-130s were assigned to ACC from 1992 to 2003. They were first assigned to the Air Rescue Service as part of Military Airlift Command.
