A 27-year study found an 80-fold increase in loggerhead turtle nesting across three beaches on Boa Vista, Cabo Verde. Researchers link the recovery to habitat protection, anti-poaching patrols, hatcheries, long-term monitoring, and stronger community involvement, despite ongoing threats from climate change and human activity.

Researchers have developed a one-step process that converts existing plastics into a new material that degrades significantly faster. The method replaces oxygen atoms with sulfur in the plastic's structure, weakening its molecular bonds. Published in Chem Circularity, the process is described as easily scalable to industrial quantities.
