Brown Trout Screenprint!!!

Over summer me and my partner spent a lot of time in Dartmoor and met some baby brown trout! (they really love corn).

I remade my arowana (new on left, old on right)!! So pleased with the new, more arowana-shaped sculpt and color-way!

1. A Kenya marine biodiversity credit program restores mangroves — and livelihoods

“The organization works directly with local communities, ensuring they benefit from restoration efforts. […] “We invest in livelihood enhancement programs such as smart agriculture, beekeeping and small businesses.” […] COBEC and Seatrees support the [community nurseries] groups by providing some materials used in growing propagules, […] then purchases the saplings for its Seatrees project sites.”

2. Giant river otters return to Argentina after 40-year absence

“The milestone release is also the first time a top predator has been brought back from nationwide extinction in the country. [… M]ore than recovering one species, we want to recover its ecological role in the ecosystem, so we’re measuring the diversity and abundance of [prey] fish species in Iberá, via a procedure that assesses DNA in the water and tells us the species that are present and their numbers.”

3. Countries Have Legal Duty to Protect Human Right to a Stable Climate, Top Court Rules

“States and corporations have binding obligations under international law to address the climate crisis as a human rights emergency, Latin America’s top court on human rights ruled on Thursday. [… States are legally obligated] to take “urgent and effective” action to cut greenhouse gas emissions, to adapt, to cooperate, and to guard against climate disinformation and greenwashing.”

4. A new drug causes nerve tissue to emit light, enabling faster, safer surgery

“[Benvonescein is] safe to use and highlighted longer stretches of nerves than would be visible to the naked eye, improving the odds of operating without causing injury. […] In the operating room, surgeons use microscopes with special lights and filters that illuminate the surgical site at a specific frequency that causes the drug to fluoresce. The nerves appear as wormlike yellowish-green structures that thread through the surrounding tissue.”

5. Redwood Materials built record grid storage project using old EV batteries

”These [solar] panels convert sunlight to electricity and store it in the array of old car batteries [“delivering 63 megawatt-hours of second-life grid storage”], to power a miniature data center that a startup named Crusoe built in the same field as the batteries. […] A battery with just 80% of its original capacity left may get plucked from a vehicle, but it can still function fine for storing solar power.”
