500 baby sharks to be released in Indonesia in unprecedented marine rewilding

Zebra shark rewilding just hit a remarkable milestone: the first captive-bred eggs have been released into the waters of Raja Ampat, Indonesia, marking the first attempt ever to restore an endangered shark species to the open ocean. Behind it is ReShark, a coalition of 44 aquariums across 15 countries working alongside local communities and government to return 500 sharks to their native reefs. Decades of overhunting had pushed zebra sharks toward local extinction, and...

Women make up 40% of boards at top U.K. companies for first time

Women on boards have hit a remarkable milestone in Britain: 40.2% of seats across the FTSE 350 are now held by women, reaching a target campaigners had set for 2025 a full three years early. Just over a decade ago, 152 of those same companies had no women on their boards at all. The shift came without legal quotas, driven instead by the business-led FTSE Women Leaders Review, regulator backing, and steady pressure from...

Bloomberg Philanthropies and Arcadia launched a $51 million fund to help Indigenous communities, NGOs, and governments work toward protecting 30%...

Patient with IV, for article on primary bone cancer drug

2023 C.E. March 9

Breakthrough drug works against all the main types of primary bone cancer

Bone cancer research has taken a meaningful step forward, with scientists identifying a single drug candidate that shows activity across all the major types of primary bone cancer — a group of diseases that have long resisted a unified treatment approach. Because these cancers disproportionately affect children and young people, the stakes are especially high. The compound appears to target something the different subtypes share biologically, which could open new research directions well beyond...

Wind turbine and solar panels, for article on solar-wind hybrid project

Adani Green Energy commissions world’s largest solar-wind hybrid project in India

# Excerpt\n\nIndia's renewable energy ambitions just got a tangible boost. Adani Green Energy has completed a 700 megawatt solar-wind hybrid project in Rajasthan that pairs solar panels with wind turbines on the same site—smoothing out the gaps that would otherwise force utilities back to fossil fuels. The design is elegant: solar peaks during the day, wind fills in at night and across seasons, delivering power at an efficiency rate of at least 50%, exceptional...
