Bären in der Nähe von Dörfern entwickeln sich kleiner und weniger aggressiv

New research shows that brown bears living close to Italian villages have changed over generations, developing smaller bodies and lower aggression than bears living farther from people. Scientists say this reflects adaptation to long-term human presence and landscapes shaped by centuries of settlement and coexistence.

Studie zeigt: Ozean nimmt bis zu 15 % mehr Kohlendioxid auf als gedacht

A new study reveals the ocean has taken in significantly more CO₂ than previous estimates, possibly absorbing up to 0.3–0.4 Pg of carbon per year — about 15 % more — thanks to processes including bubble-mediated gas exchange at the surface. These findings will refine climate models and deepen understanding of the ocean’s role in regulating Earth’s carbon cycle.

Strengere internationale Regeln schützen Faultiere vor Handel und Selfies

At the recent CITES CoP20 meeting, two-toed sloths (Hoffmann’s and Linnaeus’s) were added to Appendix II, meaning international trade will now require permits and stricter regulation. This change aims to curb illegal capture for pets, roadside “sloth encounters,” selfies and unregulated tourism, helping safeguard wild populations and reduce stress and mortality from exploitation.

Italien erklärt Femizid zum eigenen Straftatbestand mit lebenslanger Haft

Italy’s parliament has formally added femicide — the deliberate killing of women because of their gender — to the criminal code, making offenders eligible for life imprisonment. The law recognises gender-based motives such as hatred or control and aims to strengthen justice for victims and protect women and girls from violence rooted in discrimination.

Bessere Ampelsteuerung stärkt die Verkehrssicherheit und bremst riskantes Fahren

Cities that fine-tune the timing of stoplights to prioritise safety — extending yellow phases or adjusting sequences to discourage speeding and red-light running — are seeing safer intersections with minimal cost or backlash. By shaping driver behaviour through well-timed signals, communities can reduce dangerous manoeuvres and make streets calmer and more predictable.

Impfstoff gegen Fentanyl startet ersten grossen Humanversuch zur Überdosisprävention

In recent years, the amount of drug deaths among people in their 20s has begun to decrease, based on data collected by the CDC. While the exact reason for the drop is unclear, theories include access to resources, less deadly drugs and loss of other young people.

Mehr pflanzliches Essen, weniger Fleisch heisst fast halb so viel CO₂

A large study shows that eating fewer animal-based foods and more plants can reduce an individual’s food-related carbon footprint by around 40-60% compared with high-meat eating patterns. It proves that you don’t have to be radical—every step toward plants counts.

Kurze Aktivitäts-Impulse könnten dein Leben verlängern

New research shows that just a few brisk minutes a day — climbing stairs, walking fast, doing chores or gardening — can cut the risk of premature death by up to 40 %, and reduce heart-disease risk by nearly half. These small, natural bursts of movement may become one of the simplest keys to long-lasting health.

Indien zahlt Frauen für jahrelange unbezahlte Hausarbeit

In 12 Indian states, 118 million adult women now receive monthly unconditional cash transfers — a groundbreaking social experiment that recognises the value of unpaid domestic work. Many report the money helps with medicines, groceries or children’s school fees, giving households financial stability and women new economic agency.

Weissstörche kehren nach 600 Jahren nach London zurück

In 2026, captive-bred white storks will be introduced at Eastbrookend Country Park in Dagenham — the first breeding colony in London since the species vanished in the 1400s. Alongside plans to bring back beavers in 2027, the project aims to restore wetlands, boost biodiversity and reconnect city residents with nature.

Säbelhornantilope kehrt in die Sahara zurück

Captive-bred Scimitar‑horned oryx have been reintroduced to a protected reserve in Chad, recreating a free-roaming wild population. Once declared extinct in the wild, they now roam again — helping restore fragile desert ecosystems and offering real hope that extinction can be reversed.
