# SANParke sê die blou-groen algebloei by Eilandmeer in die Wildernis-gedeelte van die Tuinroete Nasionale Park, bly aktief. Onlangse toetsuitslae het die voortgesette teenwoordigheid bevestig van die bakterieë wat bekend is daarvoor dat dit moontlik skadelike toksiene produseer. SANParke sê algebloei word beïnvloed deur verskeie omgewingsfaktore, insluitend veranderinge in temperatuur, die afbreek van organiese materiaal, […]
# South African National Parks says the blue-green algal bloom at Island Lake, in the Wilderness Section of the Garden Route National Park, remains active. Recent test results have confirmed the continued presence of the bacteria, which is known to potentially produce harmful toxins. SANParks says algal blooms are influenced by various environmental factors, including […]
# Bome in die Amasone neem kwik op weens besoedeling deur kleinskaalse goudmyne en bied ʼn nuwe manier om onwettige bedrywighede te monitor. Navorsers sê giftige metaal wat vrygestel word wanneer myners mengsels van kwik en goud verbrand, laat ʼn chemiese vingerafdruk in bome se jaarringe. Volgens New Scientist kan hierdie metode met verloop van […]
# Trees in the Amazon are absorbing mercury pollution from small-scale gold mining, offering a new way to monitor illegal operations. Researchers say the toxic metal, released when miners burn mercury-gold mixtures, leaves a chemical fingerprint in tree rings. According to New Scientist, this method could reveal changes in mining activity over time. These operations […]
# Die Stad Kaapstad se Water- en Sanitasie-direktoraat het ʼn bestuursforum vir die Eerste- en Kuilsrivier-opvangsgebied gestig. Die forum sal gemeenskapsgedrewe projekte bevorder om die toestand van besoedelde riviere en die omliggende omgewing te verbeter. Die burgemeesterskomiteelid vir Water en Sanitasie, Zahid Badroodien, sê die opvangsgebied dek 37 wyke en agt sub-rade, en sluit vyf […]
# Wetenskaplikes van Suid-Afrika en Brittanje het ‘n sintese-raamwerk ontwikkel om veranderinge in insek-bioverskeidenheid vinnig te evalueer. Die model integreer tydreekse, ruimtelike vergelykings, proefnemings en kundige menings wat leiding verskaf aan bewaringsbeleid. Die studie wat in Science gepubliseer is, belig die globale afname in die insekbevolking en die behoefte aan onmiddellike optrede. Insekte is ‘n […]
# The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Directorate has established the Eerste/Kuils River Catchment Management Forum. The purpose of the forum is to promote community-driven initiatives aimed at improving the condition of polluted rivers and their surrounding environment. Mayoral committee member for Water and Sanitation, Zahid Badroodien, says the catchment falls within 37 […]
# Scientists from South Africa and the United Kingdom have developed a synthesis framework to rapidly assess changes in insect biodiversity. The model integrates time series, spatial comparisons, experiments, and expert opinion to guide urgent conservation policies. Published in the Science, the study highlights the global insect decline and the need for immediate action. Insects […]
# Die VSA se minister van Handel het die land se besluit verdedig om tariewe te hef op ‘n groep onbewoonde eilande met slegs pikkewyne en robbe. Howard Lutnick het aan CBS gesê die tariewe op die Heard en McDonald eilande is ingestel om “belaglike skuiwergate” toe maak en sal ander lande keer om skeepsvrag […]
