US to List 7 Pangolin Species as Endangered After 8.5 Million Poached in Just 7 Years

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Monday it plans to add seven species of pangolin to the endangered species list, a move aimed at strengthening protections for what’s often called “the world’s most heavily trafficked mammal.” The pangolin, which resembles a cross between an anteater and an armadillo, is the only mammal on Earth covered head to tail in scales. These unique scales have become the animal’s greatest vulnerability, driving them

Bee Population Rescue: Oxford’s Engineered Yeast Sterols Help Colonies Multiply 15x Amid 55.6% Loss Crisis

In a promising development for struggling honeybee populations, University of Oxford researchers have created an engineered yeast supplement that dramatically boosts colony reproduction in controlled trials. The supplement, described in an August 20, 2025, Nature publication, addresses a critical nutrient gap in bees’ diets caused by declining floral diversity. The Missing Ingredients Climate change and
