Planting the seeds of recovery in the aftermath of the Australia bushfires

Australia’s annual dry seasons are known for droughts and wildfires, but the dry season of 2019--2020 was remarkable due to the sheer extent of the devastation. By some estimates, more than 10 million hectares (38,600 square miles, an area slightly larger than the U.S. state of Indiana) burned, killing several million animals (including many of the country’s koalas) and more than 30 people. On a positive note, burned areas will recover from this disturbance, and tree planting and other forms of ecological restoration can help to hasten this process.

Iceland didn’t hunt any whales in 2019—and public appetite for whale meat is fading

Since the International Whaling Commission placed an international moratorium on whaling in 1986, few countries have engaged in the practice. Iceland was one of them, however, and it has hunted whales sporadically since then and has been roundly criticized by many neighboring countries for doing so. There are indications now that a generational shift in consuming whale meat for food is taking place in the country---with younger citizens avoiding whale meat altogether and thus reducing the economic demand for the product.

Fauci calls for closing down wildlife markets around the globe

Closing wildlife markets within countries, as Dr. Anthony Fauci of the White House coronavirus task force rightly suggests, may be a more effective tool, however. This article examines the prevalence of wildlife markets around the world and notes that the ones in Asia aren’t the only ones worthy of scrutiny.
