Our cover feature (p68) comes from Florida, where local people devised an ingenious method to rejuvenate the habitat of their local manatee population – with fantastic results. Closer to home, we examine new initiatives to restore ponds on agricultural land (p60), which provide a network of biodiverse powerhouses across the country.
