Wetland destruction for mining, oil palm tied to crocodile attacks in Indonesia

BANGKA, Indonesia — Residents of a centuries-old coastal settlement in the world’s largest tin-mining outpost — Bangka Island — fear that the environmental damage over just a few decades is behind a frightening rise in reports of violent deaths. In February, local fisher Jauhari became the latest person here on Bangka’s west coast to be […]

A Belgium-sized area of Amazon wetland has been converted, and losses are climbing

Every year, Amazonian rivers spill over their banks and flood the forests around them for months. These wetlands cover around 30% of the Brazilian Amazon and are often home to riverine families, who live in adapted homes built on stilts. They fish and plant crops with the natural ebb and flow of the rivers. But […]

Permafrost, wetland, wildfire and freshwater emissions could amplify climate change by up to 30%, study finds https://news.mongabay.com/2026/10/permafrost-wetland-wildfire-and-freshwater-emissions-could-amplify-climate-change-by-up-to-30-study-finds/ #environment #permafrost #wetlands #wildfire #wildfires #water #freshwater #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #emissions

Permafrost, wetland, wildfire and freshwater emissions could amplify climate change by up to 30%, study finds

As frozen ground thaws in the Arctic, dead plants and animals locked in soils for thousands of years start to decay, releasing methane and carbon dioxide. Those gases trap heat from the sun and warm the planet. And the more the planet warms, the more Arctic permafrost thaws. This is just one feedback loop among […]

Nigeria’s nature reserves need more help to protect life Palm Oil Detectives

Apart from conserving species, #wetlands help to control floods, replenish groundwater, stabilise shorelines, retain nutrients and purify water. The park will join Nigeria’s protected area of 445 forest reserves, 29 game reserves, 12 strict nature reserves, 11 Ramsar sites, 7 national parks and one biosphere reserve.

— Can We Save Their Waters? — A yellow autumn darter in midsummer may be summering in the forest. Yet heat, pesticides and drying rice fields are changing its woods and breeding grounds. A Ceres stream-damsel changes color in a different way, but both tiny bodies reflect a changing world. Can we save the waters they return to?

11年後のレッドリスト｜セレスナガレイトトンボ（Spesbona angusta）：新たな居場所は見つかり、危機はなお続く【IUCNレッドリスト比較】

セレスナガレイトトンボ（Spesbona angusta）は、2014年の図鑑では、極端に限られた小規模な水域にしか生息が確認されず、外来樹木による日陰化などで生息環境の悪化が懸念されていたことから「VU：危急」と評価されていました。近年は、外来樹木の除去や流域の水環境を回復させる活動が続けられ、市民科学による分布調査によって、図鑑当時には知られていなかった複数の地域でも生息が記録されています。ただし、新しい発見は個体数の回復を直接示すものではありません。そして、2026年時点で確認できるIUCNレッドリストの評価は、生息面積が極めて狭く、成熟個体数も非常に少ないと判断されたことから「EN：絶滅危惧」へ変更されています。セレスナガレイトトンボは今も、「新たな居場所は見つかり、危機はなお続く」という状態なのだと思います。少し詳しい内容は折りたたみの中にまとめています。まずは本文だけでも、最後まで読んでもらえたらうれしいです。

Even protected Florida wetlands can't escape microplastic pollution https://phys.org/news/2026-08-florida-wetlands-microplastic-pollution.html #Florida #environment #wetlands #plastic #microplastics #PlasticPollution

Even protected Florida wetlands can't escape microplastic pollution

Microplastics are turning up almost everywhere—from oceans and rivers to soils and sediments—yet far less is known about what happens when they enter freshwater wetlands. Often overlooked in favor of marine and coastal environments, wetlands can act as both pathways and traps for microplastics, potentially capturing and retaining pollution.
