For the first time since the mid‑1800s, giant tortoises are once again roaming Floreana Island in Ecuador’s Galápagos archipelago, marking a turning point in one of the most ambitious restoration efforts in the Pacific. Conservation authorities released 158 carefully bred juvenile tortoises......
A 5.7 magnitude earthquake struck Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush region on Friday, according to the German Research Center for Geosciences. The tremor occurred at a depth of 79 kilometers (49 miles) at 5:39 pm local time (1:39 GMT). Residents reported feeling the quake in Kabul and several surrounding......
Scientists warn that Antarctica’s most accessible region is heading toward irreversible damage unless global greenhouse gas emissions fall sharply within the next few years. Drawing on new modeling of the Antarctic Peninsula, they say decisions made in this decade will lock in environmental changes......
Antarctica is edging toward a series of climate tipping points that could trigger irreversible ice loss and long-lasting disruption of global sea levels, according to new research spanning the Antarctic Peninsula, the continent’s vast ice basins and a multimillion-year geological record. Scientists......
The number of days marked by hot, dry and windy conditions that fuel extreme wildfires has nearly tripled globally over the past 45 years, with researchers concluding that human driven climate change accounts for more than half of the increase. A study published Wednesday in Science Advances reports......
The southern Polish city of Krakow has introduced a pilot program to manage its pigeon population by using contraceptive-treated corn, officials announced on Wednesday. Special "smart feeders" have been installed in busy public areas, including the Main Market Square, dispensing corn laced......
Rising temperatures and increasingly extreme weather linked to climate change are posing growing risks to global coffee and wheat production, according to two new studies published this week, with potential consequences for farmers and consumers alike. An analysis released Wednesday by Climate Central......
In the Arctic town of Ilulissat, about 300 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, five time Greenland dog sled champion Jørgen Kristensen is witnessing something he says he has never seen before: a January without snow or sea ice in the bay. Instead of gliding over frozen ground, Kristensen’s......
A rapidly advancing wildfire pushed residents from their homes in and around Woodward, Oklahoma, as dry vegetation and strong winds fueled flames toward residential areas and key facilities. Authorities issued urgent evacuation guidance for parts of the city’s southwest, advising people living......
The Amazon rainforest shifted from absorbing carbon to releasing it during the extreme drought of 2023, emitting millions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere instead of storing it, according to new research from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry. The study, published in AGU Advances,......
In the mountain region of Nagano, an ancient winter ritual is increasingly overshadowed by a warming climate. At Lake Suwa, priests and local residents gather each year before dawn in hopes of witnessing a rare natural phenomenon known as “miwatari” — or “God’s Crossing.”......
The Garonne River remains under red flood alert in the departments of Gironde and Lot-et-Garonne, as authorities warn of continued high water levels and the risk of further overflows. The alert, maintained through at least Monday, comes amid what officials describe as a widespread flooding episode affecting......
Researchers have produced the most detailed global map to date of greenhouse gas emissions from croplands, finding that just four crops account for nearly three quarters of total agricultural emissions. Rice alone is responsible for 43 percent, according to the study. The research, published on February......
