From mapping salmon habitat in CA's floodplains to building a satellite monitoring platform that spans two hemispheres, Fernando's path as a 2026 CCST S&T Policy Fellow shows that sometimes science and policy can build something neither could alone.

🌍 Earth Month began in the 1970s as a call to protect the planet we all share—and that call is just as urgent today.

From our diverse landscapes and oceans to the millions of species we coexist with, Earth is the only planet that can support life as we know it. With over 8 billion people and countless ecosystems to sustain, this month invites us to reflect on our impact and explore solutions for a more sustainable future.

🫶🏽Protecting the Earth is protecting humanity.
🌸Protecting the Earth is protecting wildlife.
💚Protecting the Earth is celebrating it.
