#GreaterSageGrouse is a remarkable species unlike any other. This iconic species is losing its #habitat. Since 1965, the population has declined by 80%.
The #sagebrush plains are the only place where the greater sage #grouse lives. Losing more habitat to drilling, mining or other human activity would threaten this #bird and its wondrous mating display.
When a stubborn black #bear made its way up a tree in a neighborhood in Golden, #Colorado, #wildlife#rangers went to great lengths to get the animal from the tree safely. That included blasting #BlackSabbath’s “Iron Man” in an attempt to coax it down.
As it turns out, this particular black bear, if not a fan, certainly wasn’t bothered by the iconic song.
Yuyan was born in the United States but spent much of his early childhood with his #Nanai grandmother in northern #Manchuria, which is the #Chinese portion of #Siberia.
The global rise in #cancer cases has led to an increased use of #CancerDrugs, which are vital for treating the disease. However, these drugs, particularly #cytostatics, are now emerging as a significant #environmental threat. Cytostatics, which slow or stop the growth of cancer cells, are not fully removed by #wastewater treatment plants & can enter aquatic #ecosystems, posing risks to #wildlife & potentially humans.
