Beavers transform Devon's River Otter - but their return across England and Wales has stalled
'Beaver bombing' - covertly releasing them in wild - on rise as the Wildlife Trusts call for more planned releases.
The beavers first appeared in the Otter catchment in 2008. In 2015 the Devon Wildlife Trust launched a trial to reintroduce the species and in 2020 the government announced that Devon's beavers could stay and spread naturally into other river catchments. The trust estimates that the industrious rodents are now living in 20 separate family territories along the river and its tributaries.

A year later, animals, birds and saplings are populating a new landscape of ponds and lagoons.
In June 2023, Moscow blew up the Khakovka power plant downstream as Kyiv began a big counterattack.
The explosion released more than 14 cubic kilometres of water, flooded settlements and killed at least 35 people.

See Ferrari text
Pictures MUST credit: BIG
Designs for a new economic city hub in the world’s first carbon negative country has been unveiled.
The Mindfulness City will be constructed in kingdom of Bhutan which is on the southern foothills of the Himalayas and borders India and Tibet.
The country has a population of just over 777,000.
Architects from Denmark’s Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) , in collaboration with UK engineering company Arup and Singapore based urban planner Cistri were commissioned by the nation’s monarch King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
The masterplan spans over 1000 km2 and integrates Bhutanese culture and the country’s spiritual heritage.
It will be constructed in the town of Gelephu near the India border.
It is envisioned the new hub will foster economic growth and provide opportunities for the local population.
The plan includes initiatives in green technology, education, and infrastructure, including an international airport, railway connections, a hydroelectric dam, and public spaces
It also embraces Bhutan’s unique, so-called Gross National Happiness Index.
This is a philosophy that is used to measure the collective happiness and well-being of a population.

Designs for a new economic city hub in the world’s first carbon negative country has been unveiled.
The Mindfulness City will be constructed in kingdom of Bhutan which is on the southern foothills of the Himalayas and borders India and Tibet.
The country has a population of just over 777,000.
Architects from Denmark’s Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) , in collaboration with UK engineering company Arup and Singapore based urban planner Cistri were commissioned by the nation’s monarch King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
The masterplan spans over 1000 km2 and integrates Bhutanese culture and the country’s spiritual heritage.
It will be constructed in the town of Gelephu near the India border.
It is envisioned the new hub will foster economic growth and provide opportunities for the local population.
The plan includes initiatives in green technology, education, and infrastructure, including an international airport, railway connections, a hydroelectric dam, and public spaces
It also embraces Bhutan’s unique, so-called Gross National Happiness Index.
This is a philosophy that is used to measure the collective happiness and well-being of a population.

OPS: The scheme will includes a hydroelectric dam shown here in a rendering. It features a step-well retaining wall designed to offer viewpoints, meditative staircases, and a temple. Visitors and pilgrims can ascend or descend along various pathways to reach the visitor centre and temple nestled on this man-made cliff.

'It looks like Mars': Nikopol locals on life without water after dam explosion
Ukrainians living by the empty Kakhovka reservoir are coping but the nearby Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is a constant worry.
Anna Supranova stood in front of what was once a vast artificial sea. Her home - at no 7 Hetman Street - looks on to Kakhovka reservoir in southern Ukraine. Or at least it did. The water has recently vanished. Most of it disappeared in the space of three surreal days last month, after Russian troops blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam farther downstream.
Ever since, Supranova and other residents in the frontline town of Nikopol have been without water.

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 are given food and water on an evacuation train coming from Kherson on June 7, 2023 in Mykolaiv Ukraine. Rescue efforts continue after a major dam and hydroelectric power plant in southern Ukraine were destroyed, unleashing flooding near the front lines.
