This New Train Is Making It Easier to Explore Remote Corners of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula-How to Visit

Dawn was breaking over the lagoon when I looked down and saw one of the oldest life forms on earth. It wasn't much to look at. Lumpy, white, and sitting just below the surface of the water, it resembled an overgrown cauliflower. But its appearance notwithstanding, this was one of the most remarkable objects I had ever encountered. "It's called a stromatolite," my burly and ebullient guide, Edwin Ruiz, explained as he nursed his flask of morning coffee.

It proves this can be done': Berlin the blueprint to bring goshawks to UK cities

Firing off rapid keck-keck-keck cries that rang out through a park in central Berlin, the goshawks soared high above the trees and circled before swooping down to chase off a ragtag bunch of crows that had begun to mob them from below. It's basically a flying Batman bringing law and order to the city, said the conservationist Dr Paul O'Donoghue, peering through binoculars at two breeding pairs of the large pale-bellied birds as they dipped and dived through the sky. They're like stealth bombers.

The Social Lives of Birds and How Much We're Like Them

I write about birds because I love them, others love them, and they inspire hope for conservation of the natural world. Habitat saved for birds also benefits insects, snakes, spiders, and plants. For me, slowing down and watching what birds do is wonderful, so I first wrote Slow Birding. That book espoused the joy of birding close to home. This book, The Social Lives of Birds, shares some of the most interesting things a slow birder might look for anywhere in the world.

So many people wanting to do good have set up hives in their gardens or on roofs that they have become a symbol of sustainability. Of course, farming honeybees is a great way to make delicious honey, but there is a sting in the tail keeping hives doesn't help wild pollinators.

Dodo birds could roam again, claim scientists, as they report pigeon gene-editing advance

Colossal Biosciences said on Wednesday it has succeeded in growing pigeon primordial germ cells, precursor cells to sperm and eggs, for the first time. This is a pivotal step in bringing back the dodo, which was a type of pigeon, for the first time in more than 300 years, according to Colossal. The Texas-based company, which has made splashy headlines for its plans to reestablish wooly mammoths and dire wolves, said it has also developed gene-edited chickens that will act as surrogates for the dodos.
