If you enter the amounts of different types of plastic that you clean up into the Wildlife Impact Calculator, it will tell you how many animal lives would have been at risk, had those items made their way into the ocean and been ingested.

The former US senator from Wisconsin, who served for almost two decades as one of the chamber's most ardent advocates for climate action, publicly rebuked Trump's January 7 withdrawal of the United States from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC): 'Nothing in the Constitution grants the president any such power.'

They're special on a world stage, 85% of chalk streams are in England. They're wonderful habitats, they're great for people as well, people really enjoy them, whether it's areas like this where you can find kingfishers and grey wagtails and it's just a unique resource that we really should steward properly.

The idea that hiking trails are a tool for conservation is based on a simple premise: people protect what they know. That requires making conservation areas accessible. There's no point telling people you only protect what you know, if you don't give them the tools to know. The trail is this tool. People who hike, people who camp, these people often become defenders of the environment.

Confirmation that the Whitewebbs Oak was alive at the time of its felling felt inevitable. I visited the tree in the aftermath and there was absolutely no doubt in my mind the tree was very much alive. There were still green shoots and healthy buds and, in fact, just before the felling, tree VETcert-qualified consultants found the tree was in good health with a full crown.

"I think this year will probably be it," Henley stated. "And I've said things like that before, but I feel like we're getting toward the end and that will be fine, too." When asked to confirm whether 2026 will be the end of the Eagles, he added, "I'm okay with that."

This spectacular book of photographs of the Universe is dedicated to the late astronomer and broadcaster Patrick Moore, who introduced the authors to one another. Astrophysicist Derek Ward-Thompson, rock guitarist Brian May - who also holds a PhD in astrophysics - and astrophotographer J.-P. Metsävainio showcase some of the "billions of vast glowing islands in the immensity of what seems like infinite space and time". Several of the photos appear in adjacent pairs, visible in 3D with a stereo-focusing viewer.

In a statement earlier this week, the foundation announced that the project had been abandoned in light of the territorial, urban planning and environmental constraints and limitations. It added: New alternatives will be explored in order to face the challenge of elaborating a proposal that responds to the museum's objective of growing in order to remain a leading cultural institution internationally and a driving force in the Basque Country's cultural, economic and social scene.

As a proud Bundjalung man of the Widjabul Wia-bal clan, he also has a personal connection to the project: the southern half of the track runs through his people's lands. (The Minjungbal people are the custodians of the northern part of the track.) To minimise environmental damage, the Gidjuum Gulganyi (meaning Old People's track) largely follows ancient walking trails that skirt the southern rim of the Tweed Caldera, created when the massive Wollumbin volcano, formerly Mount Warning, erupted 23m years ago.

The Cupertino Senior Center is holding an open house on Aug. 22 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for seniors to learn about classes and resources.

Year-round, a herd of 250 goats known as the goat brigade is deployed in Santa Juana to prevent forest fires by eating highly-flammable vegetation.

When animals thrive, we all do. A sustainable future is shaped by how we treat animals, highlighting the ethical, environmental, and scientific impacts of animal welfare.

Join LoveDolores for its annual Micro Litter Cleanup Day on Saturday, July 12, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Dolores Park, aiming to remove micro-litter.

On July 1, a DEC forest ranger responded to an emergency call at the Peekamoose Blue Hole swimming area in Denning and rescued a 13-year-old from Brooklyn who was unconscious due to cold water exposure.

It's stimulating curiosity, that's the most important thing. I grew up imagining all sorts of things, imagining flying cars, imagining a woolly mammoth.

London Rivers Week, now in its ninth year, encourages communities to celebrate all local rivers while raising awareness about their conservation and restoration.

Green crabs have been in New England since the mid-to-late 1980s, making their way from Europe and West Africa via cargo ships.

Europe's efforts to remove river barriers have seen a significant uptick, with 542 dams taken down in 2024, benefiting biodiversity and climate resilience.

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.

Brown conducted another survey after the crossings were built, and found that not only were animals using the ramps, they were also getting killed less often on the roads - by something like 75%. And these secret crossings only cost $350,000.

At an Alternative fur Deutschland conference in January, just weeks before the party doubled its vote share to become the second-biggest force in parliament, its co-leader Alice Weidel promised to tear them all down if the AfD came to power.

I think it was just a combination of how powerless you feel in the sense when you're met with natural disasters. There's a lot of resilience, both in the natural world and in human communities, that comes together after natural disasters.

The tours aim to connect wildlife lovers with the diverse ecosystems surrounding Heathrow Airport, showcasing its commitment to biodiversity conservation through guided explorations.
