This riverside border town is fueling an illegal gold rush

Mongabay’s reporter Max Radwin went to Suriname’s Amazon to investigate the advance of illegal gold mining on Indigenous territories. Despite a government pledge to combat the activity, Indigenous Wayana communities are facing an influx of miners who cut down the forest and pollute rivers with mercury on the border of French Guiana.

Scientists discover Europe's ancient forests were nothing like we imagined

Scientists have uncovered evidence that Europe was dominated for more than 20 million years by open woodlands, colorful meadows, and large grazing animals, not the dense forests long considered its natural state. The surprising discovery challenges modern reforestation strategies, suggesting that planting thick forests could actually harm the biodiversity conservationists hope to protect.

Future warming events will outdo the extreme heat waves of the recent past, new study finds

The extreme heat waves we have seen over the last few years may only serve as a preview of what is to come as a result of climate change. A new study led by researcher Philipp Aglas-Leitner from Freie Universität Berlin, published in Nature Communications, finds that future heat waves could last longer, impact larger areas, and be much more severe.

Peru’s drive for critical minerals threatens a disappearing glacier

Like many in the community of Phinaya, in southeastern Peru, Donato Bermúdez makes his living from alpacas. His flock of 500 roams the slopes beneath the vast Quelccaya glacier, the site of the second-largest tropical ice cap in the world. Reaching 5,600 meters (18,400 feet), its white peak is home to centuries of tradition. “We […]

Microplastic pollution could be changing the color of the Pacific Ocean

Our oceans have effectively become trash dumps where massive quantities of plastic end up. So much so, in fact, that the largest offshore plastic accumulation zone has been labeled the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Vanuatu joined Australia by endorsing the rooftop solar declaration in the Turkish resort town of Antalya, where COP31 is being co-hosted by Turkey and Australia. Lawmakers from 21 other countries — including the United Kingdom, South Africa and Sri Lanka — have also endorsed it. So has Indonesia's state-owned electric power company Perusahaan Listrik Negara https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/at-un-climate-talks-5-nations-back-plan-to-double-rooftop-solar-panels-by-2030 #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

At UN climate talks, 5 nations back plan to double rooftop solar panels by 2030

Five countries have backed a plan to double the number of homes with rooftop solar panels worldwide by 2030, as U.N. climate talks in Turkey focus on expanding access to electricity and transitioning away from fossil fuels.

Dirty air actually breaks down the smell of flowers and stops bees and moths from finding their food

Ozone and nitrogen oxides cut pollinators' ability to find flowers by about half, and ozone will stay high until around 2050 as fuels change.

Drought driven by climate change is redefining how disease spreads, study finds

As climate change intensifies, drought is widening globally, causing alterations in water-dependent pathogen patterns, leaving scientists scrambling to understand how infectious disease transmission is evolving. They’ll need to act quickly to predict and prepare for future outbreaks: In 2025, annual drought affected approximately 30% of the globe’s land surface, a near doubling of area since […]
