Removing the horns of rhinoceros has been found to be an effective way to drastically reduce poaching of the endangered mammals. A new study by an international team of researchers found that dehorning results in 78 percent less poaching while using a tiny fraction of the total protection budget. “Despite decades of conservation efforts, poaching […]
In a new study, scientists have found a link between exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air pollution and increased risk of various negative pregnancy outcomes from the molecular level. While other studies have linked air pollution exposure to certain pregnancy risks, this study is the first to define how these risks can increase […]
Solar farms and rooftops in the United Kingdom generated a record 42 percent more electricity from January through May 2025 than during the same period in 2024, according to a new analysis by Carbon Brief. The UK also just had its sunniest spring since record keeping began in 1910, the Met Office said. Data from […]
Renewable energy company AMEA Power has commissioned a 500-megawatt wind energy plant in Ras Ghareb, Red Sea Governorate, Egypt. The plant will be the largest wind power site in Africa. With this commissioning, AMEA Power will bring a total of 1 gigawatts of clean energy to Egypt, as the company also announced the commissioning of […]
Scientists have discovered that the tiny green organisms often referred to as “pond scum” offer a low-tech, low-cost method of cleaning domestic sewage in place of expensive wastewater treatment facilities. All over the world, water is cleaned using large wastewater plants designed to remove chemical, biological and physical contaminants from domestic wastewater or industrial effluent. […]
Human-caused climate change added an extra 30 days of extreme heat for more than four billion people worldwide over the course of a year, a new report has found. The report, a joint effort by the World Weather Attribution, Climate Central and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Center, assessed the human impact on global […]
In a new study, scientists have found a way to turn industrial waste, such as recycled glass and construction waste, into a soil solidifier that is cement-free. By cutting out the cement, the material serves as a lower-carbon material for green construction. According to the UN Environment Programme, the built environment and construction sectors make […]
Mangrove forests buffer coastlines from flooding while acting as valuable carbon sinks, but scientists are concerned about the impacts that more extreme and frequent storms caused by climate change are having on these ecosystems. In a new study, scientists from Yale School of the Environment discovered that mangrove forests could actually be more resilient to […]
The United Kingdom has recorded its warmest spring since records began in 1884, prompting warnings for needed action on climate change. The season was also the sunniest on record overall for the UK, with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland recording their sunniest springs, and England experiencing its second sunniest since record keeping began in 1910, […]
