  • Climate Change Threatens Pollinator Populations: Study Highlights Urgent Need for Action

    Imagine a world without bees and butterflies. Without these pollinators, fruit, vegetable, and nut production would plummet, causing food shortages and higher prices. This decline threatens our food supply, health, and economy. A recent paper published in the CABI Reviews journal has shed light on the alarming decline of pollinator populations worldwide. Titled 'What are the main reasons for the worldwide decline in pollinator populations?', the research underscores climate change as the most significant threat to these vital species, which include bumblebees, wasps, and butterflies. These pollinators play a critical role in biodiversity conservation, crop yields, and food security.

  • WHO Updates List of Most Threatening Drug-Resistant Bacteria

    The World Health Organization (WHO) has updated its Bacterial Priority Pathogens List (BPPL) as of May 17, 2024, identifying the top 15 families of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that pose significant threats to human health. These pathogens are categorized into critical, high, and medium priority groups to guide the development of new treatments and combat the growing issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

  • Scientists Develop Transparent Bamboo: A Sustainable Alternative to Glass

    Chinese scientists have achieved a significant breakthrough by turning common bamboo into a transparent, water- repellent and fire-resistant material. This innovative material, which also suppresses smoke, could soon challenge traditional glass in the construction industry.
