The largest study of its kind analyzed 111 peer-reviewed papers across the Amazon, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Canada. Three-quarters found Indigenous lands equal or better than protected areas for forests, biodiversity, and carbon storage. In Brazil, native vegetation loss was 17 times lower on Indigenous lands than on similar unprotected areas.

New research shows that the "defocused attention" typical of ADHD is also a powerful driver of creative thinking. Activities like art, music, dance, writing, and gaming can provide structured ways to channel this trait — and may strengthen the neural networks involved in attention control, reducing impulsivity and hyperactivity. ADHD affects nearly 8% of children worldwide.

Off Dominica in the Caribbean, scientists studying nearly 4,000 sperm whale codas found the animals combine click patterns in ways strikingly similar to human speech. Their “vowel-like” sounds shift in tone and timing, creating rich structures that may carry meaning — a major step toward understanding one of Earth’s most social species.

After years of drought worsened by upstream dams and climate change, winter rains have returned water to 85% of Iraq's Huwaizah Marshes — millennia-old Mesopotamian wetlands fed by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Fish, buffaloes, and migratory birds are back, and Iraq's Water Ministry reports the Tigris reservoirs are nearly full.
