Biking to Protect Guatemala's Rainforest
Winding through the lush rainforests below Guatemala's Volcan de Agua is a growing mecca for mountain biking. Known as El Zur, the 2,500-acre private nature reserve was created to protect the land.

Fabrice Schnöller is on a mission to unlock the secret language of sperm whales, the largest predators on Earth. Founder of the DAREWIN Project, Fabrice's goal is to record sperm whale vocalizations in hopes of deciphering their means of communication.
