The ugly face of environmentalism exposed...

"Nature conservation is the new colonialism," Kenyan ecologist Mordecai Ogada told German magazine GEO.

A Kenyan biologist thinks white Europeans and Americans are using "nature conservation" for "self promotion" and have created nothing but failure in Africa.

He accuses NGOs and nature conservation organizations of creating a "permanent crisis" to justify their work and transform Africa into a place for white people to enjoy.

Dr. Ogada, who is author of The Big Conservation Lie, called nature conservation in the GEO interview "elitist, violent and often racist" and that it is a "right-wing agenda enforced with money from the left".

Carcass of a whale washed ashore in Kochi coast at Manassery Fishing Spot on Friday.

The carcass of the whale seemed to be two weeks old as per the knowledge of the local fishermen who were the first to notice it.

The disgusting stench of the carcass had spread to the whole neighbourhood causing nausea and other unpleasant situations.

Forest officials had inspected the scene and have no clue as to how the enormous marine mammal died and washed up on the beach. However, before the whale could be brought to shore for an examination to ascertain its death, the giant creature was washed back into the sea on Saturday.

Locust swarms in China's southwestern province of Yunnan met with pesticide-carrying drones

Swarms of yellow-spined bamboo locusts have decimated large areas of farmland around the city of Pu'er in China's southwestern province of Yunnan. Local authorities believe the crop-eating pests originated outside the province which borders Laos. Officials have deployed drones carrying pesticides in a bid to limit the spread of the insects which started to appear in late June 2020.

A dead Puffin found along one of the beaches of Nome in June, 2020.

Reports of dead seabirds found on the shores of Western Alaska are being documented again this summer. According to local experts this would mark the fourth year in a row the Bering Strait region has seen a seabird die-off, if the number of bird casualties continue to rise.

Brandon Ahmasuk, Kawerak's Vice President of Natural Resources, says for the region to see large numbers of dead seabirds for this many years is concerning.

"Like you mentioned, the last four years, maybe five now...the amount [of dead seabirds] that we've been getting is alarming."

7 Yellowstone-area grizzly bear attacks this year - record high for the first 6 months

Wildlife officials have documented seven grizzly bear encounters resulting in injuries so far this year in the three-state greater Yellowstone region, an increase compared to the previous high mark of three injuries in the first half of 2007.

Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team Supervisor Frank van Manen reported that there is usually a single interaction where a person is harmed in the first six months of any year, the Jackson Hole News & Guide reported.

Data from the team dating back to 1992 shows that 17% of injury-induced interactions occur in the first six months of the year compared to big game hunting seasons in September and October when there are more injuries to humans and bears.

The team includes experts from the U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service and other agencies. The Yellowstone region includes Yellowstone National Park and surrounding areas of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.

Unprecedented study shows alarming drop in shark populations

Reef tales: candid cams reveal shark populations in decline

For the first time in history, a group of scientists has spent four years gathering over 15,000 hours of video data to survey the health of the world's shark population, and the results are alarming. Thanks to overfishing and the brutal practice of finning, some regions of the world have no more sharks at all.

This unprecedented global study, led by FIU researchers, reveals sharks are functionally extinct from many reefs.

Functionally extinct meaning "too rare to fulfill their normal role in the ecosystem," according to the landmark study by Global FinPrint.

Researchers examined 371 reefs in 58 countries and found sharks were not observed on nearly 20 percent, indicating a widespread decline that has gone undocumented on this scale until now.

Essentially no sharks were detected on any of the reefs in the Dominican Republic, the French West Indies, Kenya, Vietnam, the Windward Dutch Antilles and Qatar. Among these, a total of only three sharks were observed during more than 800 survey hours, according to the study published today in Nature.

Rare Blainville's beaked whale washes up on beach in New South Wales, Australia

Blainville's beaked whale

A precarious operation is underway to move the carcass of a rare whale that washed up on the NSW Central Coast.

The Blainville's beaked whale, believed to be more than four metres long, drew a crowd at The Entrance today.

It will eventually go under the microscope for research and conservation.

But the one tonne whale will need to be transported 100 kilometres by road to Taronga Zoo first for an autopsy.

NSW National Parks and Wildlife is providing advice and assistance to Central Coast Council in relation to the removal of the whale from North Entrance Beach.

Birds in Finland breeding earlier and having shorter breeding seasons

A team of researchers from Finland and the U.S. has found that boreal birds in Finland have been starting their breeding seasons earlier and have also been shortening their breeding seasons as temperatures in Finland increase due to global warming. In their paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes their analysis of data from multiple studies to learn more about how birds are adapting to climate change and what they learned from it.

As the planet continues to warm due to manmade greenhouse gas emissions, researchers around the world continue to study how plants and animals are adapting to the changes. In this new effort, the researchers wondered how boreal birds (those that live south of the Arctic Circle) are faring as temperatures in Finland have been rising.

Comment: That a shift is occurring on our planet is evident throughout nature, however while spring appears to be starting earlier in some areas, winter is too, and, overall, Earth is showing signs of serious cooling:

With the largest floods in memory in both Japan and China, a 1200 year old tree falls at a Shinto Shrine and a 1200 year old bridge in China is washed away. This portends a 1000+ year cycle is occurring as comet NeoWise sweeps through the sky. South African game parks now selling game animal meat to raise money and locusts swarms are following the massive floods in western China's Yunnan Province leaving stubs of this seasons crops.
