In the 1850s, pigs brought to Santa Cruz Island became feral

#captive breeding #ecosystem #Island #wildlife

Feral pigs were eradicated from Santa Cruz Island, facilitating a resurgence in fox populations. With bald eagles no longer in the area, golden eagles preyed on the island's foxes. In response, conservationists captured the golden eagles and reintroduced the native bald eagles. A captive breeding initiative safeguarded the remaining island foxes from predators, resulting in a successful revival of the island's native wildlife and ecosystem.

Climate change is forcing Kenya's wildlife officers to go on a crocodile hunt on the shores of Lake Baringo in a bid to curb growing human-wildlife conflict. Lakes in Kenya's Rift Valley have risen to levels not seen in at least half a century, pushing the reptiles towards human homes. Officers are tasked with trapping the animals and relocating them — an operation as tricky as it is dangerous.

From drinks to cars, Chinese brands take over Southeast Asia

#China #electric vehicle #electric vehicles #POP #REACH #Thailand #WHO

BANGKOK, HANOI — Tana-wat, 34, an office worker who works in central Bangkok, starts his morning by turning on his BYD Atto 3, a Chinese electric vehicle (EV). On his way to work, he stops for a 20-baht ($0.60) lemonade at Mixue, a low-cost beverage chain from China. When he has a spare moment, he scrolls through TikTok, a Chinese short-form video platform, and clicks links at the bottom of videos to shop on TikTok Shop. His daily routine is surrounded by Chinese brands, known colloquially as "C-brands." Just a few years ago, C-brands were synonymous with “cheap” in Thailand. The picture has now changed dramatically. Their reach has expanded from inexpensive food and beverages to high-end fashion and cutting-edge electric vehicles. Chinese companies’ expansion into Southeast Asia has moved beyond large-scale infrastructure investment and manufacturing and into consumers’ everyday lives. C-brands on every floor of luxury malls At Iconsiam, one of Bangkok’s most upscale shopping malls, C-brands are found on virtually every floor. Among them are Urban Revivo, a fashion brand; Pop

For decades, scientists thought North America had a cheetah; DNA links it to pumas 2.6M years ago

#ecosystem #extinct

In a groundbreaking revelation, ancient DNA analysis has clarified that Miracinonyx trumani is more closely related to pumas than cheetahs. This extinct cat thrived in North America during the Pleistocene epoch and had the unique ability to fish in colder regions. While its structure suggested agility, evolutionary genetics indicated that convergence was at play, with low genetic variety likely contributing to its disappearance from the ecosystem.

Australia is on track to confront a serious solar panel waste dilemma by 2050, estimated to include hundreds of tonnes of silver. Researchers have pioneered a novel process that efficiently retrieves nearly all silver from decommissioned solar cells. Utilizing a continuous flotation method that relies solely on water and air without toxic chemicals, this advance could revolutionize solar panel recycling, ensuring valuable materials are rescued rather than discarded in landfills.

Deepfakes are wrecking influencers’ credibility, one fake ad at a time

#flood #WHO #wind

Influencers aren’t just battling competitors for brand deals. They’re now battling AI versions of themselvesEarlier this year, Emily Schuman, the creator of the lifestyle blog Cupcakes and Cashmere, saw a photo of herself she didn’t recognize on Instagram. In a sponsored ad, Schuman, who has more than 500,000 Instagram followers, is holding up a vial of GLP-1 drugs, advertising the telehealth company Gala. There was just one problem: Schuman had never heard of Gala and had nothing to do with the ad.The ad was based on a digitally altered version of a selfie Schuman had taken in her car and posted on Instagram years earlier. Once her followers got wind, they flooded her inbox with questions about the sponsorship as it didn’t seem consistent with Schuman’s personal brand. Soon after, Schuman discovered this was just the beginning. There was also an Instagram post where an AI version of her with darker hair appears to apply foundation to promote a makeup brand called Meroda Cosmetics, and TikTok posts with generated images of her promoting the blood testing company Superpower.

Beyond the heatwave: what it really takes for climate warnings to cut through in the UK

As trust in institutions wavers, experts say local, collective action is more effective in driving changeWildfires, excess deaths, hosepipe bans, school closures: this summer many British people have experienced the often devastating effects of the climate crisis in ways they had not before. In that sense, policymakers and climate experts have a unique opportunity to engage with the public about what needs to happen to better prepare the country for the years ahead. But as trust in institutions wavers – and yellowed, drought-stricken grass begins to recover – can the messaging cut through?This week, reflecting on a summer as “hot as hell”, the UN’s head of climate, Simon Stiell, said: “Climate is sometimes seen as a partisan issue, as territory in the culture wars. That is palpably false.” Continue reading...

Brazil’s 200 million termite mounds have formed over 4,000 years from soil termites dug up

#Brazil #ecosystem

Millions of ancient termite mounds dot Brazil's landscape, concealing a vast underground tunnel system. These structures, some nearly four thousand years old, represent immense ecosystem engineering by termites. The insects excavated extensive tunnels to access food in seasonally dry forests. This process created millions of evenly spaced cones over generations of work. The resulting pattern showcases a hidden subterranean system and its ancient origins.
