Every year, starting in early fall, photo editors at The New York Times begin sifting through the year’s work in an effort to pick out the most startling, most moving, most memorable pictures. But 2022 undoubtedly belongs to the war in Ukraine, a conflict now settling into a worryingly predictable rhythm. Erin Schaff/The New York Times “When you’re standing on the ground, you can’t visualize the scope of the destruction. Jim Huylebroek for The New York Times Kyiv, Ukraine, Feb. 25.

▼ + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

KINSHASA, Nov 22 (Reuters) - South African retailer Shoprite (SHPJ.J) has decided to shut its shops in Democratic Republic of Congo, a company statement seen by Reuters on Tuesday showed. The decision follows the closure of operations in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and Madagascar as the group aims to focus more on its business in South Africa, Shoprite said. "The decision to close operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo during this period is regrettable but is part of the group's long-term strategy," its statement dated Nov. 21 said. South Africa's biggest retailer by market capitalisation launched in Congo in 2012 during a period of aggressive expansion push into African's frontier retail markets. Shoprite's three shops in Congo were among its 2,800 stores across 15 countries in Africa.

A video shows a lemur picking its nose, a behavior never before observed by scientists. The animal shoves one of her long agile fingers all the way up her nose to her throat. The video shows Kali, an aye-aye living in the Duke Lemur Center in North Carolina, shoving her 3-inch long finger all the way up her nose, taking it out again, and licking it. A picture of a juvenile aye-aye shows its long slender fingers, which are used to hunt for bugs — and for nose picking.

"I could spend 20 minutes talking about the destruction from climate change.

When Congress passed the Helms Amendment, only six of those countries allowed abortion in circumstances beyond saving a woman’s life. And every year, more than 16,000 of the women and girls who have received these unsafe abortions die from more serious complications. President Biden also has the power to mitigate some of the harms of the Helms Amendment. His administration could also ensure that clinics in countries where abortion is legal understand that U.S. rules allow them to offer abortion information and counseling. The Helms Amendment is an act of international interference and overreach, and it has to end.

This year's first place prize was awarded to Grigorii Timin, supervised by Dr. Michel Milinkovitch at the University of Geneva, for his image of an embryonic hand of a Madagascar giant day gecko. Timin used image stitching to merge hundreds of images together to create the final image. "The scan consists of 300 tiles, each containing about 250 optical sections, resulting in more than two days of acquisition and approximately 200 GB of data," said Timin.

☆ New Zealand zoo more than doubles its population of endangered lemurs

WELLINGTON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - New Zealand's Wellington Zoo has more than doubled its population of endangered ring-tailed lemurs after its four females gave birth to twins, the zoo's primate manager said on Tuesday. Ring-tailed lemurs, endemic to Madagascar, are on the endangered list. Wellington Zoo has only had ring-tailed lemurs for 18 months and got Zeus, their male, at the beginning of 2022 with the hope they might be able to add to their population. The population of ring-tailed lemurs, made famous by King Julien in the 2005 movie "Madagascar", is declining in the wild. One of the challenges is female ring-tailed lemurs are only sexually receptive for one or two days a year.

DAKAR, Sept 24 (Reuters) - A 48-hour strike by air traffic controllers in West and Central Africa has been suspended, their union said on Saturday. The strike, which started on Friday, has disrupted flights across the region and left hundreds of passengers stranded at airports on Saturday. The Union of Air Traffic Controllers' Unions (USYCAA), which called the wildcat strike, said in a statement it decided to suspend its strike notice for 10 days immediately so as to allow for negotiations. The union said more than 700 air traffic controllers joined the strike to demand better working and pay conditions. The controllers work under the Agency for Aerial Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA) an 18-member state agency that manages air traffic over an area covering 16 million square km of airspace.

The 48-hour strike was called by a union representing workers of the Agency for Aerial Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA), which regulates air-traffic control in 18 countries. The air traffic controllers, who have threatened to prolong the strike if their demands are not met, are seeking better working and pay conditions. "In spite of the prohibition of the strike by all the courts ... the Union of Air Traffic Controllers' Unions (USYCAA) has launched a wildcat strike," ASECNA said on Friday. National carrier Camair-Co said on Friday it had cancelled all its flights due to the strike.

The work builds upon previous insect-control experiments at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and could one day result in cyborg insects that can enter hazardous areas much more efficiently than robots. Even when the backpack and film are glued to their backs, the bugs can traverse small obstacles or right themselves when flipped over. Kakei said he constructed the cyborg backpack with 5,000 yen ($35) worth of parts purchased at Tokyo's famed Akihabara electronics district. The backpack and film can be removed, allowing the roaches to go back to life in the lab's terrarium. Beyond disaster rescue bugs, Fukuda sees broad applications for the solar cell film, composed of microscopic layers of plastic, silver, and gold.

Now it bustles with vessels loading up with coal, as Russia's invasion of Ukraine drives a worldwide race for the polluting fuel. The resurgent coal demand, driven by governments trying to wean themselves off Russian energy while keeping a lid on power prices, clashes with climate plans to shift away from the most polluting fossil fuel. Global seaborne thermal coal imports reached 97.8 million tonnes in July, the highest level on record and up more than 9% year-on-year, an analysis from ship broker Braemar shows. The bloc's ban on Russian coal imports has further increased pressure on electricity generators to find alternative sources of the fuel. Russia usually provides about 70% of the EU's thermal coal, according to the Brussels-based think-tank Bruegel, while it typically supplies 40% of the bloc's natural gas.

Spanish firm Genaq extracts water through the air with atmospheric generators. Since 2008, the company has been investing in researching, development, and industrialization of atmospheric water generators produced in Lucena. "In the air we breathe there is a certain degree of humidity which is actually water. From there, teams can dispense the water they just produced on-site for all sorts of situations — from emergencies and dwindling water supplies to a total water shortage. "In many cases, the water we're producing is no longer an extra or alternative water supply; it's the main source of water," says Inmaculada Armenteros.

Schimbările climatice sunt cauza principală a unei crize alimentare în curs de dezvoltare în sudul Madagascarului, a avertizat Programul Mondial al Alimentelor (PAM) al ONU, potrivit CNN. Aceştia erau cei care aveau o sănătate bună pentru a o face", a spus Beasley. Acest lucru nu este cauzat de război sau conflict, ci de schimbările climatice. Se estimează că 14.000 de persoane se află deja în condiţii catastrofale, potrivit PAM, număr despre care se estimează că se va dubla la 28.000 până în octombrie. Nu putem să le întoarcem spatele oamenilor care trăiesc aici, în timp ce seceta ameninţă mii de vieţi nevinovate”, a spus Beasley, potrivit Mediafax.

Între timp, alți 41 de milioane de oameni sunt în pragul foametei”, a spus David Beasley. După ce a scăzut vreme de mai multe decenii, nivelul foametei la nivel global a început să crească din nou, începând din 2016, alimentată de conflicte și de criza climatică. Prețul alimentelor la nivel global a crescut în luna mai și a ajuns la cel mai crescut nivel al său din ultimul deceniul, se arată în datele ONU. Conform ONU, în jur de 9% din populația planetei, echivalentul a 690 de milioane de oameni, se culcă, în fiecare noapte, flămânzi.

Pământul găzduiește circa 50 de miliarde de păsări care fac parte din 9 700 de specii cunoscute, estimează un studiu australianTerra găzduieşte circa 50 de miliarde de păsări, aproape de şase ori mai mult decât numărul oamenilor, potrivit unei estimări realizate de oameni de ştiinţă australieni şi publicată în revista Proceedings of the US National Academy of Sciences. Cercetătorii au asociat sondaje ştiinţifice ale unor specii individuale care trăiesc în anumite zone de distribuţie cu cele aproape un miliard de înregistrări din baza de date ornitologică online eBird. Cercetătorii au ajuns la concluzia că există relativ puţine specii comune şi multe specii rare. Printre cele mai răspândire 10 specii de păsări din lume se numără vrabia de casă (1,6 miliarde), graurul (1,3 miliarde), pescăruşul cu inel (1,2 miliarde) şi rândunica (1,1 miliarde). „Există un număr considerabil de exemplare de păsări în lume (50 de miliarde), dar a înţelege pe deplin de ce şi cum fiecare populaţie a ajuns la mărimea actuală va fi primordial pentru studiul viitor al evoluţiei, ecologiei şi conservării”, au menţionat cercetătorii.
