Labeled an 'extreme climatic event' by the government, the storm brought hurricane-force winds that triggered over 3,300 emergency incidents and knocked out power to 855,000 residents on Wednesday, January 28. While the peak has passed, major rail lines remain suspended and hundreds of thousands of homes are still without electricity as cleanup efforts continue.

Mount Fanjing Matcha Industry - China

A drone photo shows a farmer weeding at a tea garden in Jiangkou County of Tongren, southwest China's Guizhou Province, on April 16, 2025. Located at the foot of Mount Fanjing, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Jiangkou County is a powerhouse in the world's matcha industry. The county boasts over 10,000 hectares of tea plantations, nearly a fifth of which are dedicated to matcha production. In 2024, Jiangkou County produced more than 1,200 tonnes of matcha with a total output value of 350 million yuan (about 48.02 million U.S. dollars). The local matcha products have been exported to more than 40 overseas markets. Experts and agronomists believe that Guizhou, located on a plateau, possesses geographical and climatic advantages such as high altitude, low latitude, abundant fog and limited sunlight ideal for growing tea. Therefore, tea produced in this area is green, ecological and organic. Photo by Ou Dongqu/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

A Quokka At Featherdale Wildlife Park - Sydney

Visitors take photos of a quokka and her baby on the Rottnest Island in Australia, Oct. 25, 2024. Often called "the happiest animal in the world", Quokkas are a small marsupial related to Kangaroos. They have grey-brown fur and small, rounded ears, feeding on fresh, young grasses, leaves and succulents, as well as plant roots. The quokka's range is a small area of southwestern Australia. They inhabit some smaller islands off the coast of Western Australia, particularly Rottnest Island just off Perth. Quokkas there have become very accustomed to humans. The species is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN (The International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of threatened species due to habitat loss, climatic factors and predation by feral animals (cats and foxes).
