The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...

Israeli-backed aid in Gaza "deadly by design”
Research groups Forensic Architecture and the World Peace Foundation have published a report titled The Architecture of Genocidal Starvation in Gaza, which found Israel to have used aid distribution to displace and starve Palestinians in Gaza.
