Researchers from twenty institutions have developed a plan to prevent the extinction of endangered species with as little land and financial expenditure as possible. The group writes in the journal “Frontiers in Science” that this would only require 1.2 percent of the land area, spread over almost 17,000 sites, which are referred to as “conservation imperatives”.

The reason for the small amount of land required is the fact that most endangered species are also rare and only have a small distribution area or a low distribution density.

Give it a go, well worth it, and if you’re in Sydney, the live shows might be worth attending.

Cold winter coming to UK early this year, already hitting record lows around and about.

Mexico just elected a climate scientist as president. She will face significant challenges in transitioning Mexico’s energy infrastructure, but at least someone who knows the situation is now living in the National Palace, so I’ll count that as good news all things considered :blush:
