Antoni Gaudi’s spectacular Sagrada Família is now standing at its full height above Barcelona. The installation of the final arm on the central tower of Jesus Christ took the building to its final height of 172.5-metres.

The structure officially became the tallest church in the world in October 2025 when it overtook Germany’s Ulm Minster, a building which had held the title since 1890.

Works first started on the Sagrada Família in 1882 and have been ongoing for more than 140 years. The ambition is to complete much of the exterior structural works in 2026 to coincide with the centenary of Gaudi’s death.

Northern Chile’s Atacama is no different. The vast expanse of 49,000 square miles stretches from the Pacific coast to the Andes. Scant precipitation—only a few millimeters of rainfall each year, plus the camanchaca, a hazy fog that occasionally barrels in from the ocean—makes it the driest nonpolar desert on the planet. Yet, astonishingly, more than 50 species of cactus alone dot this hostile landscape. Critters find ways to survive in pockets of shade or by burrowing belowground. And even deeper underfoot, rich mineral deposits have fueled many Indigenous craft traditions and, more recently, a robust mining industry. (Chile is the world’s largest exporter of copper.)⁠
⁠
In Copiapó, the administrative capital of the Atacama region, a newly inaugurated state-funded museum, the Museo Regional de Atacama, designed by Chilean architect Max Núñez, celebrates the desert’s history, both natural and manmade. The opening in January also marked an important moment for the isolated and undercapitalized community, numbering some 168,000 residents. “From here to the northern frontier with Peru, there are several cities but few places for us to think about our culture and past,” says Romina Figueroa Berríos, who was appointed museum director last September. “This is a first step in changing that. It’s a space for the public.”⁠

🦆 No animal should ever suffer just to become food on a plate.

New York City officially banned foie gras in 2019, taking a bold stand against one of the most painful practices in the food industry.

For years, ducks and geese were force-fed to unnaturally enlarge their livers, causing intense discomfort and long-term suffering just to create a luxury product. The city decided that tradition was no excuse for cruelty.

This move sent a powerful message that compassion matters more than profit or habit.

For animal lovers everywhere, it was a historic step forward, proving that when people speak up, real change happens.
