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.

Ziel ist es, illegale Entnahmen als Haustiere und für Selfie-Tourismus zu reduzieren und wild lebende Bestände besser zu schützen.

A recent Carbon Brief study shows China’s carbon dioxide emissions have remained unchanged or declined for 18 straight months, thanks in part to a surge in solar (+240 GW) and wind (+61 GW) capacity and a 5% drop in transport emissions.

Scientists at TU Wien have developed a non-toxic “deep-eutectic” solvent that separates blended fabrics — like cotton-polyester mixes — within minutes. Cotton stays intact and polyester is recovered almost fully, offering a near-complete recycling method for textiles that were once nearly impossible to reclaim.
