UK rejects total ban on bottom trawling in offshore marine protected areas
The U.K. government has rejected calls to fully ban bottom trawling in its offshore marine protected areas, despite evidence that the fishing practice tears up seabed habitats and releases large amounts of carbon. Bottom trawling involves dragging weighted nets across the seafloor, often crushing coral reefs and sponges while stirring up sediments. The huge nets […]

Brazil serves potentially contaminated shark meat to children in public schools
Brazil has ordered at least 5,600 metric tons of potentially contaminated shark meat to serve in schools and other public institutions since 2004, a Mongabay investigation has revealed. Shark meat tends to have higher concentrations of toxic heavy metals, as top predators accumulate contaminants like mercury from lower down in the food chain. The contaminants […]

Gestern waren wir in Innsbruck. Der Rapoldipark war entspannt und kühl. Die Stadt eine Stadt. Die Geschäfte interessieren mich wenig. Am Abend in der veganen Pizzaria https://www.meowinnsbruck.com/ essen war schön. Und als kleinen Bonus haben wir beim Platzkonzert in Mieders vorbeigeschaut.

Researchers had suspected a birth several months prior, finding paw prints and other indirect signs, […]

How climate change could affect production of the world’s favorite fruit, the banana
Sweet, savory, raw, fried or baked. A main course, side dish, dessert or smoothie. Raise a hand: Who doesn’t have at least one fond memory of the world’s most widely consumed fruit, the banana? Maybe it’s because of its shape, texture or how easily it can be peeled and prepared (when it’s not eaten raw […]

The species is named Bridgeoporus kanadii in honor of Indian mycologist Kanad Das for his contributions to Indian macrofungi. The researchers led by Arvind Parihar, […]

Tropical bird numbers plummet due to more days of extreme heat, study finds
Tropical bird populations are crashing as temperatures soar. That’s according to a new study that found abundances of tropical birds were 25-38% lower than they would be without human-driven climate change and the rising temperatures it has caused. This temperature impact on birds is greater than declines attributed to deforestation. “It’s a staggering decrease. Birds […]
