AI scanning helps Scottish conservation project turn tide for flapper skate
Anglers who campaigned for protected area off Oban and Mull are providing key data on critically endangered species
Sea anglers will tell you that catching and landing a large flapper skate is the equivalent of running a four-minute mile. The fish can weigh 100kg and stretch the length of a dinner table.
The first thing anglers will reach for when they land one is their camera or mobile phone, to capture the unique pattern of white spots ranged across each skate’s mottled brown back.

‘An exciting moment’: England’s urban and rural trees mapped for first time
‘Groundbreaking’ tool aims to help tree-planting efforts and identify areas to create nature-rich habitats
England’s non-woodland trees have been mapped for the first time, using cutting-edge methods of laser detection and satellite imagery.
Tree scientists at the UK’s Forest Research agency have built a comprehensive picture of trees in urban and rural areas in a “groundbreaking” map that goes live on Saturday.

What next for climate activism now Just Stop Oil is ‘hanging up the hi-vis’?
After three years, thousands of arrests and a state crackdown on protests, the group is ending direct action after a polarising campaign
On the morning of Valentine’s Day 2022, Hannah Hunt stood at the gates of Downing Street to announce the start of a new kind of climate campaign, one that would eschew mere protest and instead move into “civil resistance”.
Last week, three years and thousands of arrests later, in a neat tie-up exemplary of Just Stop Oil’s (JSO) love of media-savvy stunts, Hunt went to the same spot again – this time to announce the group would be “hanging up the hi-vis”.

Farmers in England fear for nature after sustainable farming funding frozen
Government also considering blocking more profitable farmers from a revised future scheme
Farmers fear they will no longer be able to afford to restore nature in England and reduce their carbon footprint after government funding for doing this was frozen.
The environment secretary, Steve Reed, recently announced that the sustainable farming incentive (SFI), which pays farmers for making space for nature on their land, would be paused and overhauled before June’s spending review. The scope of the scheme – and its budget – are being reassessed.

Mining firm withdraws plan for UK’s first deep coalmine in 30 years
Move ends bid for site near Whitehaven, Cumbria after planning permission was quashed by high court
The Whitehaven coalmine’s planning application has been withdrawn, bringing an end to a process that could have created the UK’s first deep coalmine in 30 years in Cumbria.
Planning permission for the mine was quashed in the high court last year which meant the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government had to reassess the planning application. However, the company has now written to the government withdrawing its planning application.

Extension of huge offshore windfarm in Sussex approved
Plan to add 90 turbines to Rampion will create 4,000 jobs in construction and could power 1m homes
The government has approved plans to build an offshore windfarm capable of powering about 1m British homes before the end of the decade.
The plan to extend the Rampion offshore windfarm by adding 90 turbines off the Sussex coast is expected to add about 1.2 gigawatts of clean power for British households and businesses.

Millions of Americans believe they’re safe from wildfires in their cities. New research shows they’re not
Many of the suburbs and cities hit hardest in recent years were caught off-guard, and key stakeholders are racing to understand the dynamics that drive these fires
Communities across the US that were once considered beyond the reach of wildfires are now vulnerable to disaster. As fires increasingly spread deep into neighborhoods, researchers estimate roughly 115 million people – more than a third of the US population – live in areas that could host the next fire catastrophe.
The understanding that many more Americans are at risk of losing their homes to wildfires comes as the climate crisis turns up the dial on extreme weather, drought and heat. But it’s also the result of new research that has exposed deep and dangerous gaps in our understanding of the threat.

‘This is ideal for them’: business is booming for Birmingham’s ‘rat king’
The Guardian joins a pest controller on the city’s streets as residents fear a rise in rodents during bin workers’ strikes
“They’re not fussy,” said Martin Curry, describing the far from epicurean appetites of the scurrying rodents that the residents of Birmingham fear could flood the streets of their city.
“Rats all have their own personal tastes but if food is scarce they’ll eat anything,” he said. Curry, who has been called the “rat king” locally, runs MC Environmental Pest Control. He has been on the frontline of stamping out the rodent threat amid a weeks-long bin strike that has caused bins to pile up on Birmingham’s streets.

Is the Silvertown tunnel a bridge to the future or a step backwards?
As the £2.2bn tunnel prepares to open, opinions are divided: will it reduce congestion, or is it a relic of transport planning that worsens pollution?
From high above the Thames, the distinctive portals of the new Silvertown tunnel are clearly visible: a black arch on the North Greenwich peninsula, a green conical building a mile across the water in Newham.
On Monday, tens of thousands of cars and lorries will start passing between them, almost directly below the cable car built by Boris Johnson, as if on a mysterious ley line that induces London mayors to embark on unloved transport projects.
This is a 1990s project that’s coming to fruition 30 years later

Dirty laundry: what really happens to your clothes when you donate them to charity?
Only a fraction gets resold on the domestic secondhand market, but there are ways consumers can help reduce waste
- Change by degrees offers life hacks and sustainable living tips each Saturday to help reduce your household’s carbon footprint

Every year, Australians donate the equivalent of 250m pairs of jeans to charity (around 200,000 tonnes of textiles) and send another 200,000 tonnes to landfill.
But only a fraction of donated clothes get resold in Australia. So what happens to your old jeans when you donate them? And how can consumers play their part to minimise waste in the process?

Žene s preeklampsijom suočavaju se s ranom pojavom čimbenika kardiovaskularnog rizika
Prema nedavno objavljenom istraživanju, žene koje su imale preeklampsiju imaju ubrzano nakupljanje kardiovaskularnih čimbenika rizika u usporedbi sa ženama koje su imale trudnoće bez preeklampsije.

Ekstrakt nara može smanjiti upalu i može spriječiti kardiovaskularne bolesti
Kronična upala povećava morbiditet kod starijih osoba i značajno utječe na zdravo starenje. Nova studija je pokazala da ekstrakt nara, bogat polifenolima, može smanjiti upalu i može spriječiti kardiovaskularne bolesti.

Nedostatak neurotenzina povezan s ovulatornom disfunkcijom kod sindroma policističnih jajnika
Sindrom policističnih jajnika (PCOS) predstavlja značajan zdravstveni problem za žene reproduktivne dobi, a manifestira se kao složen endokrini poremećaj s različitim kliničkim prikazima. Obilježen hiperandrogenizmom, ovulatornom disfunkcijom i morfologijom policističnih jajnika, PCOS pogađa 5% do 20% žena i predstavlja vodeći uzrok anovulacijske neplodnosti.

Prelazak na zapadnjačku prehranu izaziva upalu i slabi imunitet
Prijelaz od samo dva tjedna s tradicionalne afričke prehrane na zapadnjačku prehranu uzrokuje upalu, smanjuje imunološki odgovor na patogene i aktivira procese povezane s bolestima načina života.

Zatajenje srca povezano s bržim kognitivnim padom
Izgleda, da je zatajenje srca povezano sa značajnim smanjenjem kognitivnih sposobnosti u vrijeme dijagnoze, ukazuje nova studija. Globalna kognicija i izvršno funkcioniranje također su se brže smanjivali tijekom godina nakon dijagnoze zatajenja srca, jer su ljudi s tim stanjem mentalno starili za 10 godina u samo sedam godina od dijagnoze zatajenja srca.

Izloženost ftalatima tijekom trudnoće utječe na metabolizam novorođenčeta
Nedavno objavljena studija otkrila je da majčina izloženost ftalatima tijekom trudnoće može utjecati na metabolizam i razvoj mozga novorođenčeta. Ftalati su skupina naširoko korištenih plastifikatora koji se obično nalaze u raznim kozmetičkim proizvodima i proizvodima za osobnu njegu, poput šampona, sapuna i deterdženata, kao i plastičnih posuda za hranu i piće.

Prehrana bogata mastima povezana s povećanim rizikom od metastaza raka dojke
Pretilost je povezana s povećanim rizikom od razvoja raka dojke, te većom vjerojatnošću da se rak proširi na druge organe – metastazira. No uzroci ove povezanosti još uvijek nisu dobro shvaćeni. Sada je nova studija pružila nove uvide otkrivši da prehrana bogata mastima aktivira mehanizme koji olakšavaju metastaze.
