DNA Research Explains Giraffes' Long Necks As Global Population Plummets 40%
The research team in Tazania believes that the most important take-away from the four-year study is to highlight the critical importance of giraffe conservation.

If elephants are threatened by an international demand for ivory, giraffes are threatened with extinction because of the local market for 'bush meat' and demand for skins in the luxury market. Not all species of giraffes are equally threatened.

Marilyn Minter, Miley Cyrus & Marc Jacobs Join Forces For Planned Parenthood New York City
A special surprise came with the announcement that Marilyn Minter had been working with Miley Cyrus and Marc Jacobs in an entirely new art project to benefit the organization Planned Parenthood of New York.
In March, the Minter/Cyrus duo met to create a steamy photo entitled 'Miley' (2016). The limited-edition print of 50 is face-mounted on UV Plexiglass, signed by creators, and sold through Artsy for $5,500 with the proceeds benefitting Planned Parenthood.
Designer Marc Jacobs joined the fundraiser, releasing two different limited-edition T-shirts for men and women for $50 -- 'Miley Hearts Planned Parenthood'. The shirts are available at MarcJacobs.com and in select boutiques.

Livia Firth's Green Carpet Influence Is Spreading
Livia Firth stepped out in Cannes this weekend, refusing to splurge on a new gown and wearing her mother's 1968 vintage coral dress once modelled by her mother in the Italian resort of Viareggio. Last year, Firth launched her documentary 'The True Cost' Fashion Industry Documentary, featured on AOC one year ago today.
In Cannes Livia dazzled in ethically-sourced emerald jewelry, a collaboration by Chopard and Gemfields, the world's leading producer of colored gemstones. Firth was not alone, joined by Julianne Moore, featured last week wearing Chopard for a David Roemer feature in Grazia Italia.
Moore's emerald earrings are part of the same Chopard and Gemfields collaboration with Llivia Firth.
