"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Rising temperatures and a warm breeding season led to record sightings of the octopus vulgaris (common or Mediterranean octopus) in south Cornwall and Devon, according to The Wildlife Trust's annual report. The charity said it had been left flabbergasted by the incredible numbers of octopuses - which are native to UK waters but in such small numbers they are not normally seen - spotted during the year."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and funds reporting through donations rather than paywalls to keep journalism accessible. Conservationists branded 2025 the year of the octopus after eight-legged creatures were spotted in British waters in the highest numbers since the 1950s. Rising temperatures and a warm breeding season produced record sightings of octopus vulgaris in south Cornwall and Devon, according to The Wildlife Trust's annual report. The charity reported flabbergasting numbers; octopuses were filmed walking, cleaning, mating and interacting with an underwater camera. Around 233,000 were caught by local fishers, approximately 13 times the usual amount.
