Cameroon’s government says it plans to invest heavily in agriculture over the next decade and combine economic growth and sustainable development, while preserving its forests.

The most extensive global assessment of freshwater animals to date has revealed that a quarter of all freshwater animal species on the IUCN Red List are threatened with extinction.
The ongoing fires ravaging Los Angeles, U. S. , have killed at least 25 people and burned more than 12, 000 buildings. Many of the structures destroyed were homes, mansions of the rich and famous and middle-class homes alike. Irrespective of the wealth of their owners, most homes destroyed likely had one thing in common: plastic.
Across South America, territorial protection among Indigenous populations has predominantly been considered the responsibility of men, while women typically assume roles as caretakers of the household and family. However, in the Brazilian state of Tocantins, Indigenous women from KrahĂ´ communities have formed a female surveillance group to protect their territory from invaders.
The year 2024 was the hottest on record, with an average temperature of 1. 55° Celsius (2. 79° Fahrenheit) higher than pre-industrial levels, surpassing the previous record set in 2023, according to six international data sets.

Lawmakers in El Salvador have voted to reintroduce industrial mining in the country, ending a landmark ban that was meant to protect freshwater and public health.
Birds produce an impressive variety of songs and calls, but the biological and ecological factors that influence the pitch, or frequencies, that birds create hasn’t been well understood — until now. Previous studies haven’t come to a consensus likely because they were small in scope, focusing on an individual species or a specific range.
Humanity achieved a fateful milestone last year. The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service has officially declared 2024 the hottest year on record, and the first year in history with an average global temperature rising 1. 5° Celsius (2. 7° Fahrenheit) above the pre-industrial period — significantly increasing dangerous climate risks.
KIKORONGO, Uganda — What do you do if you’re neighbors with an elephant? In western Uganda, the answer is: You build a fence. And not just any fence. One that can deliver a big, powerful zap. At least, if you want your crops to make it to harvest.
Flood-mitigation infrastructure built in the southern Philippines for more than $100 million by clearing native vegetation could exacerbate flood risk in the future, reports Mongabay’s Keith Anthony Fabro.
A new global data set makes it possible to track near-real-time changes in several types of vegetation across different ecosystems, including grasslands, savannas, shrublands, croplands, temperate forests and boreal forests. Called DIST-ALERT, the new product can be visualized on the Global Forest Watch platform of the World Resource Institute (WRI).
Groundbreaking research in the late 1990s showed that Arctic-dwelling bowhead whales could live more than 150 or even 200 years — longer than any other mammal. New research, inspired by that work, indicates that right whales (genus Eubalaena) also have extremely long lifespans of 130 years or more.
