1. Mobile queen conch hatcheries strive to help the species, engage Caribbean communities

“In a bid to slow the species’ decline by helping more conch reach reproductive age, scientists are deploying an innovative set of solar-powered mobile hatcheries to shelter them through their vulnerable early life stages. […] The aim is not just to build nurseries that will nurture and protect developing conch, but to create community learning spaces where students and other visitors can gain knowledge about the species’ life cycle and participate in restoration efforts[….]”

2. Community forest confirms climate funding to 2030

“One of several community forests that will receive support from phase two of the government's Trees for Climate programme, NECF said the extended funding "provides the confidence and stability needed to continue creating woodlands". […] During the 2025-26 season, NECF planted 125,375 trees and created 158 hectares of new woodland, hedgerows and open space habitats across the region.”

3. New renewables pilot seeks to generate power, and financial returns, for First Nations communities

“A new federal grant will provide $10 million to First Nations clean energy projects[….] The First Nations Clean Energy Projects grant will help up to two projects sized at 1 megawatt (MW) or higher to move beyond feasibility and towards financial close. […] “The pilot grants aim to support projects with First Nations leadership, decision-making participation, and the potential to generate long-term financial returns for First Nations people.””

4. To save the reef, this island is raising clams by hand

“For generations, Palauans have harvested the clams to feed their families. […] Across the entire Pacific, populations have dropped by roughly 80 percent over last century [due to climate change and tourism]. […] Last month, Conservation International backed the opening of a community-based hatchery built to grow the country's aquaculture industry and take pressure off the struggling wild population.”

5. Sage Geosystems brings its first next-gen geothermal plant online

“The startup is producing power from its first next-generation geothermal plant. The system is just the third of its kind to come online in the U.S.[….] The Houston-based firm said the 3-megawatt pilot plant has performed reliably and as predicted after more than 120 days of grid-connected operations. […] Cindy Taff, Sage’s CEO, said the results will ​“directly inform and de-risk” an upcoming collaboration in Nevada with Ormat Technologies[….]”

My grandmother has been very ill in the hospital for a month. If it weren’t for the previous donations, I would have lost her by now. There have been very few donations in recent days, and they are not enough to buy her medication.💔🙏🙏

Her treatment is very expensive because it is difficult to obtain after medicine warehouses were bombed😢. If she doesn’t receive her medication every day, she could lose her life, as it may lead to kidney failure.💔😭

Please, don’t leave my grandmother alone while she is suffering. I love her so much—she is the one who raised me.

My name is Maram, I am 25 years old from Gaza. I dreamed of a peaceful life, spending my life with my husband and my three children... but the war turned this dream into an impossible one 💔😭. We lived through this genocide with all its painful details and we are still suffering from it😭. We were so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in northern Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the south of the Gaza Strip. After repairing a small room in our destroyed house, we began to live there and start over. Unfortunately, the war came back, and it was even stronger than before 💔. Now, we have no shelter or source of income. We have used up all our savings during the war. I know I created my campaign very late, but that's because I have no other means to help my family 🙏. I am completely confident and hopeful that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these tough circumstances 😔.

I know how painful and frustrating it is to start over from scratch, but I hope to get any amount for my family 🥺🙏.

because of the new tv show. and it’s only going to get worse as we get closer to the show’s release. take notice of it — who’s advertising, who’s talking about it, who’s encouraging you to watch it. it’s going to keep happening. there’s going to be more chocolate guys, more nicholas hoults, more kiera knightleys.

take no shit. give rowling an inch and she’ll take a mile. i don’t care how much you like or don’t like someone — if you see them interacting with harry potter positively in ANY way, drop them. unfollow, block, pretend they don’t exist. scorched fucking earth.
