# Die vleis van bruinbere, ‘n beskermde spesie in die Europese Unie, mag dalk binnekort in Slowakye verkoop word nadat die populistiese regering nuwe planne goedgekeur het. Die kabinet het in April ‘n plan goedgekeur om sowat ‘n kwart van die land se een-duisend-300 bruinbere te skiet weens noodlottige voorvalle. Bewaringsbewustes, opposisie-politici, asook die Europese […]
# The meat of brown bears, a protected species in the European Union, could soon be available to eat in Slovakia after the populist government approved new plans. Last month, the cabinet authorised a plan to shoot about a quarter of the country’s one-thousand-300 brown bears in response to some recent fatal encounters. It has […]
# NASA-satellietdata toon dat Antarktika tussen 2021 en 2023 ys bygekry het as gevolg van buitengewoon hoë sneeuval ondanks aardverwarming. Terwyl die tydelike toename sommige vorige verliese omgekeer het, beklemtoon kenners dat dit nie ‘n langtermyn-tendens aandui nie. Die algehele trajek toon steeds beduidende ysverlies sedert 2002, hoofsaaklik gedryf deur gletsers wat in warmer oseane […]
#Die Stad Tshwane het hom by Johannesburg en Ekurhuleni aangesluit om die rehabilitasie van die Kaalspruit-opvanggebied te takel. Die metro sê met vinnige verstedeliking oor die jare en die toenemende getal informele inwoners naby die walle, het die watergehalte van Kaalspruit-rivier agteruitgegaan. Die burgemeester van Tshwane Nasiphi Moya se woordvoerder, Zintle Mahlati, sê onwettige sand-ontginning […]
# Aardverwarming verhoog dalk vroue se kankerrisiko’s in die Midde-Ooste en Noord-Afrika. ‘n Studie in 17 lande het bevind dat bors-, eierstok-, baarmoeder- en servikale kankersyfers en -sterftes met elke graad Celsius temperatuurstyging toegeneem het. Eierstokkanker het die meeste gestyg. Wetenskaplikes van die Amerikaanse Universiteit in Kaïro koppel dit aan omgewingsgifstowwe, ontwrigte gesondheidsorg en ongelyke […]
# NASA satellite data shows Antarctica gained ice between 2021 and 2023 due to unusually high snowfall despite ongoing global warming. While this temporary gain reversed some previous losses, experts stress it doesn’t signal a long-term trend. The overall trajectory still shows significant ice loss since 2002, largely driven by glaciers melting into warming oceans. […]
# Global warming may be increasing women’s cancer risks in the Middle East and North Africa. A study across 17 countries found that breast, ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancer rates and deaths rose with each degree Celsius of temperature increase. Ovarian cancer saw the highest rise. Scientists from the American University in Cairo have linked […]
# The City of Tshwane has partnered with Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni to tackle the rehabilitation of the Kaalspruit Catchment. The metro says that over the years, with rapid urbanisation and the increasing number of informal settlements near embankments, the river stream from Kaalspruit has deteriorated in quality. Tshwane mayor Nasiphi Moya’s spokesperson, Zintle Mahlati, says illegal […]
# Kamfersdam noord van Kimberley in die Noord-Kaap, was eens ‘n belangrike broeiplek vir kleiner flaminke, maar hulle het die dam verlaat weens jare se besoedeling van rou riool. Bewaringsgesindes sê die giftige water het die flaminke verdryf en hulle teël sedert 2020 nie meer daar nie. Die dam was een van slegs vier broeiplekke […]
