The wild is in decline. We have degraded three quarters of all wild places and pushed more than 1 million species to the brink of extinction. More than half of Earth’s remaining wild areas could disappear in the next few decades if we don’t decisively act. This is why today, I am honored to support the launch of Rewild.org - to protect what’s still wild and help restore the rest.

As part of our first undertaking, Re:wild is supporting Parque Nacional Galápagos and Island Conservation with a $43 million commitment to help rewild the Galápagos. This includes returning the Pink Iguana, the Floreana Giant Tortoise and the Floreana Mockingbird to their wild homes, and ensuring the people of the Galápagos thrive with the wild.

Re:wild offers a bold vision to amplify and scale the local solutions being led by Indigenous peoples and local communities, nongovernmental organizations, companies, and government agencies, to help increase their positive impact around the world. Because we don’t need to reinvent the planet, we just need to rewild it.

When I travelled to the Galápagos Islands, I met with Paula A. Castaño from Island Conservation, one of several environmental heroes in Ecuador working day in and day out to save one of the most irreplaceable places on the planet. Later today, Paula will be taking over my Instagram Story to share more about her team’s rewilding efforts in the Galápagos. I’m excited to share her team’s work and to support the longstanding effort to protect and restore these iconic islands.

#Opinion by Lam Hoi 林海｜"Those who run Hong Kong are required to actually love the party in the name of being patriotic, while those party lovers who engage in administering Hong Kong have the right not to be patriotic. Take the pro-establishment political figures in Hong Kong today. Quite a number of them such as Tung Chee-hwa and Tam Yiu-chung, their offspring and relatives have foreign nationalities, but they can still hold on to the high-ranking positions, taking part in the power game of ruling Hong Kong. Accusing foreign forces of cracking down on China, they are not ashamed of their offspring having nationalities of the Five Eyes."

"治港者被要求假愛國之名首要愛黨，而參與治港的愛黨者卻絕對有權不愛國。且看今日香港的建制政客，本人或子女親屬有外國籍或居留權者不在少數，如董建華、譚耀宗之流，他們卻仍可穩坐高位、參與治港權力遊戲，天天譴責外國勢力打壓中國，但絲毫不以其「五眼籍」兒孫輩為恥。"

Every time there was a missed shot, the Philadelphia 76ers showed just how desperate they were.

Dominating the rebounding matchup and outscoring Detroit 38-16 on points in the paint, the 76ers got back into their second-round series by defeating Detroit 93-83 Saturday night to cut the Pistons' lead in the series to 2-1. Game 4 is Sunday night.

Led by big men Kenny Thomas, Derrick Coleman and Tyrone Hill, the 76ers outrebounded the Pistons 48-30 and scored 27 second-chance points in a one-sided game that offered little suspense in the second half.

"We played awful. Horribly,'' Detroit's Tayshaun Prince said. "They killed us on the boards -- especially offensive rebounds.''

Thomas had a double-double before halftime and finished with 10 points and 14 rebounds -- five on the offensive end -- before pulling a leg muscle late in the third quarter. He said his injury was not serious.

Hill had nine points and six rebounds in just 22 minutes, but that was still more than Detroit's Ben Wallace managed to contribute in 36 minutes. The NBA's leading rebounder was held to six points and six rebounds.

"His numbers may not look as good as normal, but I don't question his heart or effort,'' Detroit coach Rick Carlisle said. "He'll bounce back tomorrow, and we'll bounce back tomorrow.''

Allen Iverson had 25 points and 11 assists, Keith Van Horn had his best game of the series with 17 points, and Coleman added 15 points and eight rebounds. The 76ers grabbed one-third of their rebounds on the offensive end.

All five Philadelphia starters reached double figures as the Sixers avoided falling behind 3-0 -- a deficit no NBA team has ever overcome.

"This was enormous,'' Sixers coach Larry Brown said.

"It does something for our psyche, the mental aspect,'' Iverson said. "We come into our own crib and are able to win decisively, it gives us a lot of motivation going into the next game.''

The Pistons might have point guard Chauncey Billups available for Game 4. A sprained ankle kept him sidelined for the second straight game, and Billups said afterward he's 50-50 for Sunday.

Richard Hamilton led Detroit with 24 points, Tayshaun Prince had 17 and Chucky Atkins had 13 filling in for Billups. No one else on the team scored more than seven.

Thomas strained his right quadriceps muscle while going for a rebound against Wallace and left for good with 3:50 left in the third quarter.

By then, the Sixers were ahead 64-44, and they never needed Thomas back. Van Horn made a 3-pointer 14 seconds later to give Philadelphia its largest lead -- 22.

Jon Barry hit a 3-pointer with 3:12 left to pull the Pistons to 86-75, but Iverson scored Philadelphia's next five points to keep it from getting any closer.

The 76ers asserted themselves on the boards early. When Hill grabbed the third offensive rebound of a single possession and turned it into a three-point play for a 23-18 lead, it gave Philadelphia a 17-4 edge in rebounding.

"The rebounds were a joke. The second-chance points in the first half was embarrassing,'' Barry said.

The Pistons gave Atkins a rest at the start of the second quarter, and Iverson took advantage of his matchup against slow-footed Barry to spark an 8-3 run that gave the Sixers a 31-22 lead.

Thomas had a double-double -- 10 points and 10 rebounds -- after making a 12-footer to cap a 7-0 run that gave Philadelphia a 44-30 lead. Detroit scored seven of the next eight points, but Snow ended the half with a jumper for a 48-37 lead after Price committed a traveling violation while isolated one-on-one against Hill.

Van Horn's 3-pointer capped a 7-0 run to start the second half, putting Philadelphia ahead by 18. The Sixers led by at least 16 for the rest of the third quarter.

Game notes

Cliff Robinson was only 1-for-6, and Barry was 2-for-6. ... Philadelphia's Aaron McKie also struggled, going 0-for-3 from the field. ... Detroit's Danny Manning had his first playing time of the series, playing the final 4½ minutes and picking up three fouls with no points. ... Van Horn became a father for the fourth time Saturday when his wife gave birth to their third daughter, Haley.

WITH THE ALL-NEW 2018 LS, LEXUS REIMAGINES GLOBAL FLAGSHIP SEDAN

It is possible that no single automobile has, upon introduction, upended its category as decisively as the first Lexus LS did when it launched the luxury brand 28 years ago. The 1990 LS 400 was the original luxury disruptor, winning critical acclaim and astonishing customers by setting new benchmarks for comfort, powertrain performance and smoothness, quietness, build quality, attention to detail, and dependability. The brand supported that groundbreaking vehicle by setting and maintaining new standards for customer service and satisfaction.

Now, Lexus is about to repeat history with the introduction of the all-new, fifth-generation LS flagship sedan for 2018, unveiled at the 2017 North American International Auto Show. Inside and out, the new LS reflects a strong, uniquely Japanese identity and approach to luxury. Yet, the LS was designed to be the brand’s latest global citizen, available in about 90 countries.

“Not only will the LS symbolize the Lexus brand, it will become the definitive new-generation luxury car embodying Japanese tradition and culture,” said Toshio Asahi, chief engineer for the new LS. “As such, this global pinnacle must go far beyond what the world expects from a luxury car.”

Longer, Lower, Wider – and More Exciting

Longer and lower than the sedan it replaces, the all-new LS debuts a strikingly bold design with a coupe-like silhouette punctuated by the new Lexus design language. A new driver-centric performance feel comes from building the LS on the company’s all-new global architecture for luxury vehicles (GA–L). This premium rear-wheel drive platform, an extended version of the one used for the stunning new Lexus LC 500 coupe, will offer a more dynamic experience on the road while further elevating renowned Lexus comfort.

The original Lexus LS won acclaim by anticipating what luxury customers would want, rather than simply amplifying what established luxury automobile brands offered at the time. In that spirit, the 2018 LS sedan’s spacious cabin, unique appointments and visionary technology will once again surprise customers by resetting expectations for a global flagship sedan.

“We set previously unheard of targets and resolutely pushed ahead towards these ambitious goals,” said LS chief engineer Asahi. “The customers that are going to want to own a Lexus flagship are already surrounded by luxury on a daily basis, people who have a sharp eye for authenticity to begin with. We wouldn’t turn their heads with a conventional premium product.”

A Flagship Reborn

Just as the original LS launched the Lexus brand, the all-new 2018 LS continues the brand’s more dynamic direction. Each generation of LS sedans leading up to this iteration advanced luxury, craftsmanship, performance and safety in their own way, with the most recent also introducing a far more emotional design and engaging on-road performance.

To create the all-new LS, Lexus took the approach of starting from new, reimagining what a flagship sedan should be, as if launching the brand all over again. The goal was not to improve on what Lexus has done, but to exceed expectations of global luxury customers.
