Evidence is emerging that policies targeting plastic pollution are taking effect and make a different for the environment. Data shows that plastic bag policies can reduce the share of plastic bags by up to 47% as well as reduce plastic entanglment of animals by up to 37%. Plastic pollution is one of the most pressingContinueContinue reading “Cleaner Shores Ahead – Bans and Fees on Plastic bags are effective in reducing shoreline litter.”
Ecological Flexibility may have Fueled Human Migration out of Africa.
Research reveals that the ecological adaptability of humans, honed within diverse African habitats, was pivotal for their successful migration out of Africa around 50,000 years ago. Early human history remains unclear to this day. How, when, and why humans expanded from Central Africa is a difficult puzzle to solve as intact archaeological records can beContinueContinue reading “Ecological Flexibility may have Fueled Human Migration out of Africa.”
Street Smart Raptors: Hawk Uses Traffic to Hunt in the City
A new study unveils another example of how animals alter their behaviour in response to human activity, this time, in the urban environment. The evolving relationship between humans and nature is endlessly intriguing. A young Cooper’s hawk in New Jersey has been observed using an extraordinary hunting tactic: it uses car queues at a busy intersection as cover to stealthily approachContinueContinue reading “Street Smart Raptors: Hawk Uses Traffic to Hunt in the City”
