File photo - Astrid, a keeper, prepares food supplements for the pandas, including pellets and apples, on April 11, 2012, at the Beauval Zoo. For the first time in France, a pair of pandas is being presented to the public: Huan Huan, the female, and Yuan Zi, the male. The giant panda is listed as “endangered” on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of Threatened Species. It is estimated that there are 1,600 pandas still living in the wild. The famous pair of pandas will leave Beauval Zoo on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, due to an early return to China caused by the female's kidney failure, on November 24, 2025, in Saint-Aignan, France.

Plastic Pellets Polluting Spanish Beaches After Container Ship Spill

Plastic Pellets Polluting Spanish Beaches After Container Ship Spill

A volunteer from the Noia Limpa organization participates in the collection of pellets on Bos beach, January 13, 2024, in Noia, A Coruña, Galicia (Spain). Already known as the "white tide", it is expected to come from the six containers from the ship Toconao that fell into the sea in Portuguese waters. At least one of the six containers, weighing around 20 tons, is believed to contain between 800 and 1,000 25-kilogram sacks of pellets. Pellets are small plastic balls of less than five millimeters that are used to manufacture plastic products. Because of their small size and light weight, it is "almost impossible to clean them up" once they are scattered on the beaches. Photo by Elena Fernández / Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM
