There's no real need for any gentle finessing from Diamond when feeding Girri now. Girri turns 18 days old today. Fledging at this nest typically occurs at around the 43 days mark—a bit earlier for males, sometimes a bit later for females. #OrangeNSW #PeregrineFalcons

Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.
What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says.
Bees play a key role in the U.S. food supply, and the mass deaths could jeopardize that.

We investigated how this is affecting Papuans by interviewing people whose land has been targeted and analysing soldiers' TikTok posts.
