In Addis Ababa, a diamond jubilee became a quiet reckoning with what it means to be a steward of life itself. Ethiopia's Wildlife Conservation Authority marked sixty years of protecting species found nowhere else on Earth, drawing recognition from the UN's biodiversity chief, who reminded the world that what a nation preserves within its borders can belong, in a deeper sense, to all of humanity. The celebration was both an honoring of unglamorous, necessary work and a call to acknowledge how much remains undone.
