Canada Wildfires Impact North America's Air Quality

Handout photo dated on August 3, 2025, shows Canada is currently facing an intense fire season, with hundreds of active wildfires across Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba, prompting the evacuation of thousands of residents. Smoke from these fires has severely degraded air quality both locally and across borders, including the United States. This false colour image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 3 August 2025, shows the smoke cloud from the wildfires engulfing skies over Canada and the US. According to the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), June and July 2025 saw severe wildfire activity in Canada, with daily total wildfire intensity and emissions consistently above the 2003-2024 average throughout the summer.

Giant Panda Reintroduction - China

WOLONG, June 29, 2024 -- This file photo taken on Sept. 16, 2014 shows giant panda cub Hua Jiao (L), the world's first giant panda cub with both captive and wild parents, and her mother Cao Cao in the wild training fields. In recent years, China has made significant progress in panda conservation through a series of measures, including forest and wildlife protection as well as the construction of giant panda national parks. The wild giant panda population in China has grown from about 1,100 in the 1980s to nearly 1,900. Giant panda reintroduction refers to releasing captive-bred giant pandas to their historical distribution areas to live and reproduce after acclimatization training so as to rebuild the wild population of the species. China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) started a reintroduction program in 2003. It has reintroduced eleven pandas into the wild, nine of which survived. In the future, the center will continue to train more individual panda cubs using the mother-cub

In order to protect the species and restore the environment, the province banned naked carp fishing in Qinghai Lake and nearby rivers in 2003. Qinghai has also closed the lake six
