These endangered wild dogs crossed 2,563 miles through Zambia. Scientists say their journey could help save the species
Three African wild dogs from the Mayukuyuku pack traveled a remarkable 2,563 miles across Zambia. Their journey, lasting about nine months, demonstrated the need for connected populations among endangered species. While they navigated various landscapes, they encountered significant dangers related to human activities. Researchers tracked the dogs using GPS collars, providing valuable insights into their movement patterns.

El Niño arrived early. Why its impact was felt from India to the Panama Canal
El Niño's early onset has triggered a cascade of atypical weather events worldwide. India faced not only monsoon challenges but also significant shifts in policy due to insufficient rainfall. Meanwhile, South America grappled with both severe flooding and drought conditions affecting the Amazon. Australia and Southeast Asia saw extended dry periods, increasing the threat of wildfires. Concurrently, global temperature records underscored the reality of a warming planet amid these disruptions.
Why NASA's latest moon discovery creates a major dilemma for Artemis astronauts
Microbes from Earth can survive on the Moon's surface for days. New research shows shadowed lunar craters offer protective microclimates for these organisms. This discovery impacts plans for human exploration and resource utilization at the lunar South Pole. Scientists must now rethink sterilization protocols to prevent forward contamination of pristine ice. Future missions will require enhanced containment strategies and stricter decontamination procedures.
Delhi's ₹8,300 crore clean air project to include AI monitoring, EV roadmap under World Bank framework
Delhi's ₹8,300-crore clean air program will launch in September 2026. This initiative will use AI for construction site monitoring and develop an EV charging roadmap. Scientific waste management reforms and a dedicated Project Management Unit are also planned. The World Bank will fund sixty-five percent of the seven-year project. Stakeholder engagement and grievance redressal mechanisms will be established.
DPCC rolls out Dust Portal 2.0 to tighten monitoring of construction-related pollution
New Delhi construction projects must now submit compliance reports and install air quality sensors. The upgraded Dust Portal 2.0 requires live camera feeds for real-time pollution monitoring. Projects over 500 square metres must register and map site boundaries using GIS technology. Periodic self-audit reports covering twelve parameters are now mandatory for all sites. This initiative strengthens oversight and aims to reduce dust emissions significantly.

AI-generated disinformation tactics spotted ahead of COP30
A clip said to show massive flooding in the Amazonian city hosting the UN climate summit is just one widely-shared example of how disinformation, cheaply created by artificial intelligence and circulating on social media, is influencing perceptions of COP30. And in the video showing the city purportedly under water, "The reporter doesn't exist, the people don't exist, the flood doesn't exist, and the city doesn't exist."

World on track to dangerous warming as emissions hit record high: UN
National commitments to slash heat-trapping pollution would limit global warming up to 2.5C this century -- nowhere near enough to avoid devastating climate impacts despite a sweep of new pledges, the UN warned Tuesday. Big polluters most responsible for the crisis have been urged to pledge faster and deeper emissions cuts to bend the curve back to 1.5C by the end of the century.
