  • Golden eagles could be reintroduced to England after more than 150 years

    Study identified eight areas that can sustain a population and government has given £1m for recovery programme

    “The world is grown so bad that wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch.” So wrote Shakespeare in Richard III, in a line of social commentary that feels ever more relevant with age.

    A note of good news then, in a world of so much bad, that the eagles the Bard was probably referring to could finally be reintroduced to England after more than 150 years.

  • ‘We are totally out of our depth’: experts say whale stranded in Baltic is beyond saving

    Male humpback, which has repeatedly stranded and freed itself in Germany in past month, is to be left in peace to die

    When a 10-metre long humpback whale became stranded on a sandbar in the Baltic Sea last month, none of those who went to its rescue could have known how it might turn lives and livelihoods upside down.

    About a month after the first sighting of the male whale, near Wismar and Timmendorfer Strand on the north German coast, it has repeatedly stranded and freed itselfand is now stranded once more, with rescuers saying it is in the throes of death.

  • Don’t mention the climate: Trump creates ‘beyond absurd’ situation at global finance talks

    Developing countries face possible shelving of crucial green action plan at IMF and World Bank spring meetings

    Governments desperate for cash to protect their citizens from the growing impacts of the climate crisis are being put in a “beyond absurd” situation this week at global finance talks: they are being urged not to mention the climate, even as they address the current oil crisis.

    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG) spring meetings take place this week amid a fragile ceasefire in Iran and upended geopolitics. One of the priorities was to forge a new “climate change action plan” (CCAP) for the world’s biggest provider of funds to developing countries, to replace the current strategy, which expires in June.

  • Are we heading for ‘super El Niño’ – and what could we expect?

    Experts say climate pattern could supercharge extreme weather events and push temperatures to record highs

    There is a high likelihood that the phenomenon known as “El Niño” will emerge this summer – and it could be exceptionally strong. A so-called “super El Niño” could supercharge extreme weather events and push global temperatures to record heights next year if it develops, according to experts.

    Meteorologists are keeping a close eye on the climate patterns developing in the Pacific Ocean that will enable stronger predictions about what’s to come in the year ahead.

  • The incredible life of the ‘bird man’ refugee who brought tweets, chirps and trills to British radio

    Ludwig Koch was once as influential as David Attenborough is today – a new film by his granddaughter sheds light on a tragic event in the naturalist’s life in Berlin before he fled the Nazis

    In his lifetime, pioneering German sound recordist Ludwig Koch’s heavily accented voice was as familiar to British audiences as David Attenborough’s is today. His tireless passion for capturing birdsong and bringing it first into German and, after his exile from Nazi Germany, British homes via sound books and BBC radio, made him a household name from the late 1930s onwards.

    He was celebrated beyond his life, parodied by Peter Sellers (playing Koch observing life at a Glasgow traffic junction) and immortalised in Penelope Fitzgerald’s 1980 novel Human Voices, about the wartime BBC, which depicts Koch’s assiduous approach to capturing natural sounds and indirectly highlights how the organisation benefited from new voices like his.

  • Country diary: Time for some spring planting – on a precarious ledge | Susie White

    Bowlees, Teesdale: It’s been a long road to this point, but now these pots of rare rock whitebeam are ready for the soil

    My route along Teesdale is full of distractions. I stop twice, awed by the sight of 30 black grouse in a field, then to watch displaying peewits, tumbling and diving with sweet, airy calls. This is the heart of the North Pennines national landscape (NPNL), and its visitor centre at Bowlees is in a 19th-century Methodist chapel. The Bow Lee beck runs close by, winding through a wooded dene, then dropping down Summerhill Force, the pretty waterfall camouflaging Gibson’s Cave.

    A small limestone quarry by the beck resounds to the cascading songs of chaffinches, spring warmth held within its rocky bowl. The ledges of these cliffs, inaccessible to sheep and rabbits, have been chosen for the planting of a rare native tree, the rock whitebeam, Sorbus rupicola. Seed was collected in autumn 2022 from a craggy site by the fast-flowing Tees, carefully packed, and sent to the Millennium Seed Bank managed by Kew Gardens. Further seed was germinated in the small wildflower nursery at Bowlees so that rock whitebeam could be re-established in Teesdale.

  • Take down bird feeders this summer to cut spread of avian disease, says RSPB

    Charity advises replacing seed and nut feeders, where birds gather, with small amounts of mealworms, fat balls or suet

    Garden birds should not be fed seeds and nuts over the summer months, the RSPB has said, in an attempt to reduce the spread of avian diseases.

    Bird lovers are being urged to take down their bird feeders between May and October to help birds such as the greenfinch, whose numbers have plummeted after the spread of trichomonosis, a parasitic disease transmitted more easily when birds cluster around feeders in the warmer months.

  • ‘That crazy old man should leave Cuba alone’: farmers bear the brunt of Trump’s pressure campaign

    In Artemisa, the country’s agricultural heartland, sanctions and fuel shortages have made a tough life almost impossible

    Abraham Rodríguez stares at the corn furrows he must plough before the end of the day. It is not even noon in Artemisa, Cuba, but the sun beats down hard and he’s already tired: working the land is a tough job. He has done it for almost half his life, since he was 13 and his mother got a divorce. He is turning 26 this year.

    Farming has always been hard, he says, but now it is almost impossible to sustain. “I make 1,200 pesos (£1.80) a day, so I have to work two days to buy a bottle of oil.”

  • ‘Reverse-gentrify the country’: how Black and Indigenous intentional communities are reclaiming land

    From California to Alabama, people of color are building communal spaces rooted in care and tradition

    Zappa Montag steps outside his home to a thicket of redwoods, Pacific madrones and oak trees. Dozens of fruit trees dot the 76 hectares (189 acres), along with a large garden replete with squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, corn and peppers. Nearby, a small stream runs through a valley surrounded by hills. At Black to the Land, the ecovillage in Boonville, California, Montag and five other Black people steward the land off the grid, relying on well water and powered solely by solar panels. The intentional community, as it’s called, is located in a rural area 115 miles (185km) north of San Francisco. Montag said it was an effort to “reverse-gentrify the country”.

    Black Americans and Indigenous people have long gathered in intentional communities, defined as small groups of people who live in the same area based on shared values and a common vision. They come in many forms, including co-housing spaces in urban environments where people have their own units and share communal spaces.
