Farmers Protest - Spain

Several people cut the road during a protest, on January 8, 2026, in Pontós, Girona, Catalonia (Spain). The AP-7 between Borrassà and Garrigàs and the N-II from Pontós to Garrigàs (Girona) in both directions due to agricultural demonstrations claimed by Revolta Pagesa since early Thursday morning. The agricultural mobilizations respond to the refusal of the part of the sector to the agreement between the European Union and Mercosur, in addition to the "mismanagement" of wildlife - which they believe puts at risk farms and livestock - and cuts in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), has claimed Revolta Pagesa from their social networks.

China: Trees Seem Lush in Winter, Revealed to Be Covered in Birds

On December 15, 2025, in Xuzhou, eastern China’s Jiangsu province, a video showed several trees that looked unusually lush for winter. From a distance, their branches appeared thick with leaves, even though most nearby trees were bare. As the camera moved closer, the “leaves” were revealed to be small, round birds packed tightly along the branches. They filled almost every twig, giving the trees a dense, full appearance. Occasionally, a few birds shifted or fluttered, but the overall outline remained like a giant canopy. Chinese netizens admired the scene, saying the living “bird trees” reflected the area’s improving environment.

Southern Europe and The Northwestern Mediterranean Coast from The ISS

Handout - JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Kimiya Yui captured this photo of southern Europe and the northwestern Mediterranean coast from the International Space Station as it orbited 261 miles above Earth on August 30, 2025. At left, the Po Valley urban corridor in Italy shines with the metropolitan areas of Milan and Turin and their surrounding suburbs. Crew members aboard the orbital lab have produced hundreds of thousands of images of the land, oceans, and atmosphere of Earth, and even of the Moon through Crew Earth Observations. Their photographs of Earth record how the planet changes over time due to human activity and natural events. This allows scientists to monitor disasters and direct response on the ground and study a number of phenomena, from the movement of glaciers to urban wildlife.
