Wildfires in Canakkale - Turkey

A wildfire that began in agricultural land near Sarıcaeli village in Canakkale province in Turkey spread into a nearby forest and forced authorities to temporarily suspend ship traffic through the Dardanelles (Canakkale) Strait. The Dardanelles (also called the Canakkale Strait) links the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara and is a key route for vessels transiting between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Its temporary closure underscores how wildfires can disrupt global maritime traffic and local communities, on August 8, 2025 in Canakkale, Turkey. Photo by Berkman Ulutin/DIA Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

Wetlands Guard Bird Species from Plateau to Urban Landscape - China

Black-necked cranes are seen at a reservoir in Lhunzhub County of Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, Feb. 20, 2025. As an important part of the world's ecosystem, wetland plays a huge role in many aspects including ecology, environment, economy and society. Known as an extra lung for Londoners, the London Wetland Centre is an urban ecological paradise transformed from industrial wasteland on the banks of the River Thames. The site was formerly four reservoirs operated by the Thames Water Company, which supplied drinking water to the southwest of London. The London Wetland Centre began construction in 1995 and was completed and opened to the public in 2000. Visitors to the centre can observe numerous endangered bird species, with over 200 species observed and recorded in the area, embodying a harmonious balance between urban life and nature.
