·1 views

Hog Island Audubon Camp in Maine is celebrating 90 years of environmental education and research. The island was saved from deforestation by environmentalists Millicent Todd Bingham and Mabel Loomis Todd, who purchased it to prevent clear-cutting. It is notably the birthplace of Project Puffin, an initiative that successfully restored seabird populations in the region. Today, the 330-acre island continues to serve as a training hub for aspiring scientists, educators, and artists. Its conservation impact has spread well beyond Maine, influencing bird protection efforts across North America.

Antarctica gained 695 billion tons of ice in 2021–2023 due to record snowfall

Antarctica recorded a significant gain of 695 billion tons of ice mass between 2021 and 2023, reversing a decades-long trend of ice loss. The accumulation was primarily driven by exceptional snowfall concentrated in East Antarctica. Warmer tropical ocean temperatures triggered atmospheric disturbances that channelled unusually large amounts of moisture toward the continent. However, scientists caution that this short-term gain does not indicate a reversal of Antarctica's long-term ice decline, as ice loss continues in other parts of the continent.
