    The Micronesian reserve, now the largest in the Pacific, will permit no fishing or mining. Palau also established the world's first shark sanctuary in 2009.

  • Pass the paint and mind the shrapnel: inside Ukraine’s most creative bomb shelter

    Pass the paint and mind the shrapnel: inside Ukraine’s most creative bomb shelter
    As Putin bombarded Kharkiv, one artist gave citizens refuge in his underground studio - and helped children work out their trauma through painting workshops that ran non-stop for 40 days.

    he eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, some 30km from the Russian border, has suffered grievously in the past year. Cruise missiles and shells rained down on it brutally last spring, killing hundreds of civilians, blasting the imposing regional government building and the opera house, cratering apartment blocks, shops, schools, churches and university buildings.

    In the early days of February 2022, artist Mykola Kolomiets had no idea of the momentous and deadly events that were coming his way. Instead, he was preparing for an exhibition. The show was planned to celebrate a decade of Aza Nizi Maza, the children’s art workshops he'd been running in his studio in the centre of the city.

    "No one believed that the war was going to start," says Kolomiets, sporting an orange woolly hat and an infectious grin, "even though we were warned by the experts. My girlfriend joked that the studio would make the perfect bomb shelter."

    You can see why: the studio is a labyrinthine, subterranean series of interconnected rooms. What it lacks in natural light it makes up for in colour.

    Artist Mykola Kolomiets stands in his studio where children create artworks in Kharkiv on April 14, 2023 in Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. Artist Mykola Kolomiets worked with children to create art work in Kharkiv’s metro while they were sheltering from attacks by Russian troops in 2022. KHARKIV, UKRAINE - APRIL 14.

    Thousands flee homes as collapse of dam is blamed on Russian forces
    Ukrainian authorities call for people living downstream of Nova Kakhovka dam to evacuate in face of potentially deadly flooding.

    Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and an ecological disaster has been unleashed on southern Ukraine by the collapse of a major hydroelectric dam on the Dnipro River, which Kyiv said was blown up by Russia in a desperate attempt to ward off a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

    Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, declared the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam an "environmental bomb of mass destruction" and said only liberating the entire country could guarantee against new "terrorist" acts.

    People wade through rising flood water in central Kherson around 300 meters from the Dnipro river on June 6, 2023 in Kherson, Ukraine. A major dam and hydroelectric power plant in southern Ukraine have been destroyed, unleashing flooding near the front lines.

    Thousands flee homes as collapse of dam is blamed on Russian forces
    Ukrainian authorities call for people living downstream of Nova Kakhovka dam to evacuate in face of potentially deadly flooding.

    Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and an ecological disaster has been unleashed on southern Ukraine by the collapse of a major hydroelectric dam on the Dnipro River, which Kyiv said was blown up by Russia in a desperate attempt to ward off a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

    Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, declared the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam an "environmental bomb of mass destruction" and said only liberating the entire country could guarantee against new "terrorist" acts.

    Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and an ecological disaster has been unleashed on southern Ukraine by the collapse of a major hydroelectric dam on the Dnipro River, which Kyiv said was blown up by Russia in a desperate attempt to ward off a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

    Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, declared the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam an "environmental bomb of mass destruction" and said only liberating the entire country could guarantee against new "terrorist" acts.

  • As flood waters rise around them, Kherson residents cast blame for destroyed dam on 'inhumane' Moscow

    As flood waters rise around them, Kherson residents cast blame for destroyed dam on 'inhumane' Moscow
    After the attack on the Nova Kakhovka dam, people downstream survey the damage.

    In what should have been a Kherson street corner, Larysa Musian, a hydrologist, sits and watches the flood waters rising. The Dnipro River used to be 300-400 metres away, but after the dam at Nova Kakhovka was breached at 2.50am on Tuesday, it has burst into the city, flooding the first two or three blocks of the lowest lying quarter.

    Every half hour, Musian rises from her stool, carrying a square charcoal grey ruler. The water, she says, is rising "6 to 8cm every half hour" and is 3 metres above where it was before the dam burst. She phones through her figures to colleagues in the regional monitoring centre in nearby Mykolaiv.

    "When it goes back to 5cm an hour, and then four, we can start saying it has stabilised,": Musian
