Tibetan Antelopes Migration - China

Tibetan antelopes prepare to cross the Senlong Zangbo River in Changtang National Nature Reserve in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, July 14, 2025. The Senlong Zangbo River, located in Changtang National Nature Reserve in Nagqu, is a vital migration route for Tibetan antelopes. Each July, Tibetan antelope calves and their mothers cross the river and migrate to their habitats. Over the past three years, the number of Tibetan antelope migrating across this river has exceeded 150,000 each year. Thanks to effective conservation measures, the number of Tibetan antelopes in Xizang has increased to more than 300,000, according to data from the region's ecology and environment department.

Gators Are Sensitive To Environmental Changes - Everglades

Kevin Olejniczak, wildlife technician, left, holds an American alligator while Sergio Balaguera-Reina, research scientist studying conservation biology, collects data during a research survey with the University of Florida Croc Docs team Thursday, November 7, 2024, in Everglades National Park, FL, USA. Alligators like to hunt in the dark but tonight they’re the creatures being stalked, not for sport but for science by two University of Florida wildlife biologists, Sergio Balaguera-Reina and Kevin Olejiczak. Alligators, along with their cousins and co-residents crocodiles, are sensitive to environmental changes in the Everglades. That makes them what scientists call a good “indicator species” for assessing progress in the on-going multibillion-dollar effort to restore the natural water flow to the sprawling River of Grass. Gators are a bit like Goldilocks. Too much water, and they use too much energy trying to catching fish and other prey. Not enough, and they struggle to move or mate. They need the water just

Seine River Water Quality Alarming Before Olympics - Paris

A nonprofit focused on waterway conservation has voiced concern about contamination in Paris’s Seine River ahead of open-water swimming events to be held there at the Olympic and Paralympic Games starting in July. The Surfrider Foundation said Monday that testing at a bridge, the Pont Alexandre III, between September and March regularly turned up higher, and sometimes much higher, levels of E. coli and enterococci bacteria than the recommended threshold, which can be an indication of fecal matter.

A nonprofit focused on waterway conservation has voiced concern about contamination in Paris’s Seine River ahead of open-water swimming events to be held there at the Olympic and Paralympic Games starting in July. The Surfrider Foundation said Monday that testing at a bridge, the Pont Alexandre III, between September and March regularly turned up higher, and sometimes much higher, levels of E. coli and enterococci bacteria than the recommended threshold, which can be an indication of fecal matter.
