 | | PHOTOGRAPH BY RICHARD BARNES | | Whose heritage? With October as Museums and Galleries Month, a profound question emerges: Are museums celebrating cultural heritage—or clinging to stolen treasure?

“We’re not saying go vegan," one expert on food climate policy tells Nat Geo. "But significant changes can happen from shifting away from meat and towards plants.”
