Nelson Mandela invites the world to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Russia is gearing up to host the 2018 World Cup. Sarah Rainsford and Steve Rosenberg, the BBC’s Moscow correspondents, take us on a tour of Sochi, Volgograd, and Saransk, where we can see the stadiums that have been constructed and get a sense of each town.

We continue our tour of Russian cities hosting the 2018 World Cup. We're taken to Kazan, Rostov, and Ekaterinburg.

This video explores three more venues for the 2018 World Cup: Samara, St. Petersburg, and Kaliningrad. Aside from the arenas, Stalin's bunker, the Hermitage museum, and the beach are spotlighted attractions.

In final segment of this BBC series, we visit two more cities hosting the World Cup: Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow.

Today, planet Earth is in a new era, the Anthroprocene. Humankind has harnessed and exploited Earth’s resources, changing its surface, devastating populations of wild animals, cutting down trillions of trees and leaving very little of what was “wild.” The enormous loss of biodiversity is not sustainable. How can we create a future in which both people and nature can thrive?

Can planet Earth survive? Can we survive as a species? Changes in population growth could be a key factor to allowing us to prosper and live in harmony with nature once again.

Not all rhino news out of South Africa is dire. In October 2011, WWF helped to successfully establish a new black rhino population in a safer, more spacious location.

A video by the World Wildlife Fund: The more energy we use, the more we have to generate. We could live in a word of “enough” if we’d start to make smarter decisions about energy use.

WWF: Long-distance swimming puts polar bears at risk of drowning due to fatigue or rough seas. Cubs are at even greater risk because their smaller body size and limited body fat leaves them more prone to hypothermia, and they don’t have the energy reserves of an adult bear.

A video by the World Wildlife Fund WWF: Climate change is one of the greatest threats to wildlife and nature. Call your Senators at 1-800-217-7379 and ask them to support climate legislation on behalf of those who cannot call themselves.
