Terraformation is just one of 10 organizations recognized by the Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP) as winners of the 2025 Keeling Curve Prize (KCP). The Keeling Curve Prize — overseen by GWMP, a Brooklyn Story Lab partner — supports organizations developing practical, scalable answers to the climate crisis.

This year, the 10 winning organizations were announced by Jacquelyn Francis, Founder and Executive Director of GWMP, at the TED Countdown Summit main stage in Nairobi, Kenya, awarding $50,000 to each project to help expand their impact in the fight against climate change.

Learn more about the 10 winning organizations — and GWMP — here.

Travel 200 miles from any country’s shoreline and you enter the “High Seas,” the UN’s designation for international waters. The High Seas might as well be the Wild West, as there are few laws that govern this territory, which covers 43% of Earth’s surface (the ocean itself covers 71%). That chaotic lack of law jeopardizes the future health of the ocean, including the Blue Economy: the food that 3 billion people globally count on, and the economic opportunities on which 11% of the planet depends.

Elephant Mothers Elephants are a matriarchal species. This year, World Elephant Day (August 12) is honoring both the matriarch elephants AND the women conservation leaders and rangers in communities in Africa and Asia who are working to protect them.

EXCLUSIVE OFFER FOR BROOKLYN STORY LAB READERS Expert Fundraising Offer for BSL Readers Fundraising is expensive. Yes, it takes money to make money, and hiring a consultant can be hugely impactful, but doing so can also be costly. For startups or small nonprofits already reeling from the shock and awe of recent political events, that can create a barrier to entry that has existential implications. Our strategic partners at boutique fundraising firm Hudson Ferris have come up with a dynamic solution: a new platform called Margaret, which democratizes the fundraising experience at an affordable price point (hundreds a month as opposed to thousands). Membership offers unlimited fundraising questions from experts in the field via the platform. Margaret already includes partners such as Civic Hall (which has 62,000 members), fundraising CMS platform Arreva, and donor-research tool DonorAtlas, the latter two of which have integrated Margaret into their platforms. To learn more about Margaret — and a special introductory package for the Brooklyn Story Lab community — visit here. Take a Video Tour of Margaret

About the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center of The Hamptons:
The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, Inc., Eastern Long Island’s only wildlife hospital, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of wild animals impacted by human encroachment on their habitat. It is a grass-roots organization that began with a few concerned friends and has grown to include over 3,000 members and supporters. The center operates as a full-service professional wildlife hospital, with licensed rehabilitators, biologists, animal behaviorists, and volunteers on staff. More than 300 people have been trained to help with wildlife rescues. The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center is located on Munn’s Pond Park through a cooperative licensing agreement with Suffolk County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation. The center is located on a greenbelt of public land parcels that stretches from Tiana Bay to Peconic Bay on the eastern end of Long Island, New York. This ecosystem is one-of-a-kind and irreplaceable, with salt and freshwater wetlands, Pine Barrens, deciduous forest, and meadowland. As a result, it is an ideal location for a wildlife rehabilitation center. The hospital is intended solely for wild animals. There are no ambient noises or smells to stress the wildlife that is recovering within, unlike a veterinary hospital. Every year, the Wildlife Rescue Center receives over 10,000 calls for information or assistance regarding wild animal encounters. In addition, the center offers educational programs to local elementary and secondary schools. Local college students participate in cooperative education programs and internships. The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center has an annual operating budget of more than $650,000, almost entirely funded by generous donors.

The words “Silicon Valley” usually evoke images of shiny new devices unveiled at blockbuster product launches, geniuses performing coding miracles in futuristic office campuses, and blockbuster IPOs creating the world’s biggest fortunes.

They usually don’t evoke images of misfits, malefactors and ordinary schlubs turned into accidental felons…

But the same way Tom Wolfe unveiled the seamy underbelly of Manhattan high finance in The Bonfire of the Vanities, tech insider Ken Goldstein holds nothing back in his debut novel THIS IS RAGE (The Story Plant, on sale October 8, 2013, $15.95, 978-1611880717). Goldstein has enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a software and media executive. In THIS IS RAGE, he translates his expertise into the Silicon Valley novel we’ve all been waiting for—a biting, darkly comic crime thriller that lays bare the realities of the tech business, the media, and how they relate to the economic and political powder keg that is America in the twenty-first century.

From the opening scene, where a botched attempt to kidnap a legendary billionaire venture capitalist leaves one investment banker dead, two start-up execs missing, and two terminally unlucky programmers in way over their heads, all bets are off. And the ride only gets wilder from there. Because the kidnappers and their victims are about to cross paths with Kimo Balthazer—a volatile, hard-drinking talk radio host who no longer commands the huge audience he once did. And he has finally infuriated enough broadcasting executives with his brash opinions and crude antics that his career appears to be toast.

But when Kimo goes rogue and begins telling his no-holds-barred version of the truth on uncensored, unregulated internet radio, legions of laid-off workers and other decent people swallowed by the cutthroat economy start to pay attention again. And when he scores an exclusive interview with America’s most-wanted felons, things start to get really crazy.

Kimo is seething mad but he’s not crazy—he’s desperate for a comeback, and with the nation tuning in he’s about to inject himself into the middle of the manhunt that’s gripping Silicon Valley… and make it clear who the real criminals are. That is, if a meddling family-values zealot in Congress and a power-hungry old entertainment magnate don’t get their way.

Ken Goldstein brings unprecedented authority and been-there-done-that knowledge to this narrative, which has already won such praise as “that rare book—a fascinating, fast-paced, really smart thriller” (-Author Naomi Wolf), “required reading for all high-tech and deal-savvy action thriller fans” (-Former ABC Radio head Mitch Dolan) and “a thrill ride through the circus-like madness of corporate America, the media and government.” (-Author and USC business school professor Gene del Vecchio).

Right up to the final scene of this accomplished debut, it’s tantalizingly hard to tell where the good guys end and the bad guys begin in THIS IS RAGE. Ken Goldstein has had a front row seat for the last two-plus decades of incredible progress in tech and media, and has parlayed these experiences into the fiction event of the fall.
