In 2022, from Africa to the Americas, Near and Middle East to Asia, the ICRC mapped 524 armed groups that are of humanitarian concern, with at least 175 million people estimated to live in areas fully or fluidly under their control. Urban areas, which convey both tactical and strategic advantages to them, have become the battlefield of predilection of armed groups. As their irregular and improvised methods of urban warfare result in incidental and deliberate harm to civilians, ICRC released a new set of guidance to Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs), "Reducing Civilian Harm in Urban Warfare: A Handbook for Armed Groups".

photos by Gerald E. McLeod The Center for Wildlife Rescue at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi , which opened March 2, profoundly improves the response to wildlife crises, and it's open to the public for free. "It's a game changer," Jesse Gilbert , CEO of the aquarium, says of the new wildlife rehabilitation center. During Winter Storm Uri in 2021, thousands of cold-stunned sea turtles were in danger of drowning. The aquarium cared for over 1,700 of the reptiles. Wildlife officials told Gilbert that because cold weather events are becoming more common, a facility was needed that could handle twice that number of turtles.
