"Speed of the Puma, Strength of the Bear" That phrase sang out of TV screens in the 80s, evoking animated superhero action. In real life, puma and bear have neither speed nor strength without habitat and water, two things secured by a new Guaraní Protected Area in Bolivia.

A vulnerable predator? Sounds like a contradiction in terms. But for 5 threatened Atlantic shark a loophole in Mexican fishing laws has quietly driven decades of decline. Not any more. Mexico has now closed that regulatory vacuum, giving these vicious victims chance to recover.

COP30 is copping the heat of major protests, but host Brazil is making positive moves on the inside, including the recognition of 10 new Indigenous territories, a breakthrough pushed by rallying thousands and 900 Indigenous delegates - the most Indigenous attendees at any COP.

"A qubit, a qubit, my kingdom for a stable qubit" The holy grail of quantum computing, with its promise of operations of unprecedented complexity, requires its qubits to hold still. Princeton engineers have built one that keeps its state for over one millisecond. Progress!

"I'd like to be under the sea...".Well it's only yellow-ish, and its not a submarine as such, but when it launches in 2027, Vanguard will be the first new subsea habitat in 40 years, allowing its scientist residents to live and work on the seabed for a week at a time.

If you had to pick the site of the highest density of crocodiles in North America, you probably wouldn't put your finger on the cooling canals of a nuclear power plant. However, Florida's Turkey Point Nuclear Plant is the current rebound hotspot of the endangered species.

Can we meet the world's growing thirst for electricity without digging up more of the dirty stuff? Demand is up 603 TWh in the first 9 months of 2025 alone. Actually, yes. Solar and wind generated 635 TWh in that period, so fossil generation's got nowhere to grow.
