Species under threat of extinction
Scientists are mapping out the habitats of thousands of birds, mammals and amphibians that are a the most risk of extinction; 'hotspot' areas tend to be areas of agriculture, urbanisation, roads, railways, night lighting and water ways
Avoidable deaths from air pollution
Studies are showing that toxic air pollution may kill more people globally than smoking; this is yet another piece of evidence that adds to the argument for countries to reduce their pollution levels as it will benefit the health of people as well as the environment
Fine dust covers the whole of South Korea
A blanket of fine dust from air pollution has covered most of South Korea over the past few weeks; schools have been told to use air purifiers and the country is trying to reduce the levels of coal-fired power stations and vehicle use
