Small-scale farming, logging eclipse megaprojects as top threats to Tapanuli orangutan habitat
JAKARTA — Large infrastructure projects have long dominated debate over the future of Indonesia’s Batang Toru ecosystem, the main stronghold of the critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan. But a new study suggests that while those projects have accelerated forest loss, the greatest direct threat to the ape’s habitat now comes from a much less visible source: […]

Previously an underused site,
the area was transformed using Hügelkultur,
a no-dig permaculture technique that creates highly fertile mounds using woodchip, timber, and organic matter from local tree surgeons.
This approach, combined with forest garden principles, has established a resilient ecosystem for wildlife,
turning the space into an all-year-round green habitat with edible shrubs and trees like blackberries, raspberries, and apple trees.

Vacant site to community ecosystem - Transition Together
Chris Gabe of Bridgehouse Garden Community Group describes an incredible journey from tarmac site in South London to thriving forest garden and a cosy wooden barn, hand built by the local community group after learning a host of new practical skills.

Wind turbines weren't designed to create marine habitat. Eight years of data from Taiwan suggests that's exactly what they're doing around New York.

This week China released the third iteration of its AI safety governance framework
– a document that functions as a “mapping of the AI risk landscape and roughly what one should do about it”,
said Gabriel Wagner, a researcher at Concordia, a Beijing-based AI safety consultancy.
Included in the updates are the risks posed by agents,
the cybersecurity threats from frontier models
and the issue of recursive self-improvement
– an as-yet hypothetical scenario w…

Brazil’s wild cats face multiple diseases due to habitat fragmentation
Every day, millions of Brazilians recall how rich the country’s feline biodiversity is when they reach into their wallets: Since entering circulation in 2010, the ‘50 real’ notes have carried a printed drawing of a jaguar (Panthera onca), the largest feline in the Americas. In Brazil, one can even trace the animal that inspired the […]

Trump administration allows killing of species threatened with extinction
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could soon declare that pygmy rabbits or Florida manatees are threatened with extinction.
But under a policy change issued by the Trump administration on Friday, Americans could still kill, trap and harass them.

— is part of Trump…
