China: Swarms Of Mayflies Cluster Around Bridge In Changde, Hunan

On September 1, 2024, in Changde, a city in Hunan Province in central China, a video captured a swarm of moths clustering around the Yuanshui Bridge on a dark night. According to local media reports, this is the nuptial flight during the mayfly breeding season, with large numbers of mayflies gathering on the bridge where there are lights, creating a snow-like spectacle. Insect carcasses piled up on the bridge up to 5 centimeters deep, and traffic on the bridge was paralyzed for a while due to slippery road surface. The local agricultural department introduced mayflies as a kind of beneficial insects, which belong to a link of the biological chain of the lake zone. Their massive appearance indicates that the ecological environment of local waters continues to improve.

Greek authorities have started collecting hundreds of thousands of dead fish that poured into a tourist port in the central city of Volos this week after being displaced from their usual freshwater habitats during flooding last year.

Macron Puts New Caledonia Voting Reform On Hold

Macron Puts New Caledonia Voting Reform On Hold

Friday, May 24 - Dumbéa - 12:00 PM - Heavy law enforcement presence on the Medipole Bridge to support the clearing operations of carcasses and bulky objects on the access roads by machinery, under the watchful eyes of the residents. President Emmanuel Macron says he will not force through a controversial voting reform in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia following deadly rioting. Speaking on a visit to the main island, Mr Macron said local leaders should engage in dialogue to find an alternative agreement for the archipelago's future. Seven people including two police officers have been killed and hundreds more wounded in riots, looting and arson. Currently, voting in the territory is restricted to indigenous Kanaks and those who arrived from France before 1998. The planned reform would see more French residents, including any who have been in New Caledonia for at least 10 years, able to vote. Photo by Gill Chabaud/ABACAPRESS.COM

Deadly Riots Sweep New Caledonia Capital - Noumea

Deadly Riots Sweep New Caledonia Capital - Noumea

Saturday, May 18, 2024 - Dumbea - The remains of burnt carcasses obstruct the traffic of Koutio's citizens. One more person was killed Saturday and two injured in France's Pacific territory of New Caledonia as security personnel tried to restore order after a fifth night of riots and looting that has now claimed six lives. For almost a week, the usually unhurried oceanside city has been convulsed. Two gendarmes have been killed: one shot in the head and a second shot in friendly fire, officials said. Three other people, all Indigenous Kanaks, have also been killed: a 17-year-old and two men aged 20 and 36. The unrest has been blamed on economic malaise, social tensions and, above all, a political fight between mostly Indigenous pro-independence activists and Paris authorities.

Anything that can prevent or limit access is being used in an attempt to secure the neighborhoods. The Green Valley in this photo. Tensions remained high in Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia, on Friday after days of riots as the French government’s representative said areas of the Pacific territory have “escaped” state control. Louis Le Franc, high commissioner of the Republic in New Caledonia, announced new security deployments. The number of police and gendarmes on the island will rise to 2,700 from 1,700 by Friday evening.

KUSHIRO, Japan - A Japanese team involved in whaling research off southeastern Hokkaido announced Nov. 8 that it captured 50 minke whales in September and October and that an analysis of their stomach contents showed 15 adolescent whales about 4 to 6 meters long had hunted Alaskan pollack. According to officials of the government-backed whaling team, anchovies were found in the stomachs of 19 of the captured minke whales, sauries in eight, and krill in six. Officials said the whales were captured to study the impact of minke whales on the local fishing industry. The photo shows members of the research team cutting up a captured whale.
