I'd describe most of my conversations as 'hostage situations'.
As if overfishing wasn't enough, fisheries are plummeting because of the effects of higher water temperature as a result of global warming.
It's a harsh reminder of the long-lasting effects that modern warfare has on the environment.
Far from being slow, giant ground sloths were highly adaptable creatures. The new findings suggest that humans must have had a decisive role in the megafauna's extinction.
The planet's surface has seen an increase in leaf area of plants and trees equivalent to that covered by all the Amazon rainforests.
