A moody blue, white, and orange autumn sky after sunset. Reflected in the water. With tree silhouettes on the horizon also reflected in the water. Also framed by silhouettes of trees.

Penguin Conservationists Use Maps and Satellite Images to Help Win Landmark Court Case A groundbreaking case in Argentina used GIS to help convict a rancher of ecocide, expanding protections for penguins and other species.

A swallow busy catching insects and a herd of cattle sunbathing in the background. The grass is full of daisies and buttercups.
