Conservation Group African Parks has announced it is set to release 2,000 southern white rhinos into the wild in will be one of Africa’s largest rewilding programs. LONDON -- South African Conservation Group African Parks has announced it is set to release 2,000 southern white rhinos into the wild in what is set to be one of Africa’s largest rewilding programs of any species. The "rewilding" -- which is set to take place over the next 10 years -- comes following the purchase by African Parks of one of the world’s largest private captive rhino farms, Platinum Rhino. “As a result of financial stress, Platinum Rhino was put up for auction on April 26 but did not receive any bids, putting these rhinos a serious risk of poaching and fragmentation,” said African Parks in a statement.

No cars or trucks pass the mounds, only motorcycles transporting people. “This measure is to make the government realize that they can’t live without Santa Cruz,” said Micol Paz, a 32-year-old activist with Santa Cruz Gov. Luis Fernando Camacho's Creemos political party. The detention ...

Japan has revised the timing of a planned release to the sea of treated radioactive wastewater at the Fukushima nuclear plant to “around spring or summer,” indicating a delay from the initial target, after factoring in the progress of a release tunnel ... TOKYO -- Japan has revised the timing of a planned release to the sea of treated but still radioactive waste water at the Fukushima nuclear power plant to “around spring or summer," indicating a delay from the initial target of this spring, after factoring in the progress of a release tunnel and the need to gain public support. The government and the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, announced in April 2021 a plan to begin releasing the treated wastewater into the sea starting in spring 2023. They say more than 1 million tons of water stored in about 1,000 tanks at the plant are hampering its decommissioning and risk leaking in the event of a major earthquake or tsunami. Under the current plan, TEPCO wil...
