Savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana) can be found in the north and forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) in the south. It’s not clear how many elephants there are in
In an epoch increasingly delineated by the imperative call towards sustainability, green engineering stands as a luminary of hope, heralding a confluence of innovation and ecological guardianship poised to redefine the contours of our planet’s destiny. This exploration ventures into the labyrinthine domain of green engineering, examining its capacity to sculpt a sustainable
No roads lead to Iquitos, a Peruvian port city surrounded by the Amazon rainforest and reachable only by river. The city’s diverse communities and ways of living – including fishing and farming – were what drew Heidi Mendoza. She’s a researcher who leads field work there on the human toll of climate change.

Caivano Paul Winters, University of Notre Dame In Argentina, where beef is a symbol of national pride, a government-led partnership has started certifying certain livestock as carbon neutral. It’s a big step that shouldn’t be underestimated, but getting the
In the perpetually shifting tableau of global energetics, an unyielding quest for sustainability and proficiency has ushered in a novel epoch of ingenuity within the domain of energy conservation technologies. Amid escalating apprehensions regarding climatic transmutation and the imperative to curtail carbon footprints, the sector has witnessed an influx of verdant initiatives aimed
Climatic alterations emerge as a paramount challenge within the contemporary epoch, with Asiatic territories at the vanguard, confronting its stern repercussions. The extensive and variegated continent of Asia, domicile to beyond 4.5 billion souls, harbours a plethora of ecosystems, ranging from the towering summits of the Himalayas to the expansive, low-lying coastal vicinities.
In France’s southwestern Gironde department, where half the area is covered by forests, authorities in 2022 built a secondary school with wood from local pine trees. The Pian-Médoc school, located between the city of Bordeaux and some of France’s most famous vineyards, reflects a push to find practical uses for wood from nearby
At the nucleus of environmental stewardship resides an elaborate and profound liaison with geology—a discipline that not merely unravels the chronicles of Terra but also shepherds us towards sustainable tomorrows. The role of geology in environmental custodianship is cardinal, imparting enlightenment on natural mechanisms, stewardship of resources, and the attenuation of environmental repercussions,
Amidst an epoch increasingly underscored by the imperative to confront climatic metamorphosis and ecological deterioration, the notion of eco-intelligent engineering dawns as a luminary of ingenuity and sustainability within the realms of edifice and construction. This nascent discipline signifies not merely an incremental evolution but a foundational shift in our conceptualisation, execution, and
