Within days of taking office, President Joe Biden set an ambitious goal to conserve 30% of U.S. land and water by 2030. Many viewed formal protections for neglected backwaters like those in southwest Colorado as some of the lowest-hanging fruit toward reaching this goal.

The short rise and fall of a literary magazine. "In some other countries with robust publishing industries, houses like Gallimard in France, Granta in the United Kingdom, S. Fischer Verlag in Germany and Kodansha in Japan operate literary magazines as labs for avant-garde literature or places to foster new talent.
In the United States, none of the five large publishing houses currently fund these outlets. The infrastructure supporting national literary magazines is crumbling, too: There are fewer newsstands, fewer bookstores that stock niche magazines, fewer advertisers willing to spend on print, and — in a world where information is increasingly siloed online — fewer people willing to subscribe."
