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.

Life returns to Ukrainian reservoir drained by Russian strike on dam
Life returns to Ukrainian reservoir drained by Russian strike on dam.
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.

'Levels are dropping': drought saps Zambia and Zimbabwe of hydropower
Vast human-made Lake Kariba is at near-record low, causing daily power cuts and devastating two African economies.
Lake Kariba, the world's largest human-made lake. A punishing drought has drained the huge reservoir close to record lows, raising the prospect that the Kariba Dam, which powers the economies of Zambia and Zimbabwe, may have to shut down for the first time in its 65-year history.

'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.

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.

Rescue efforts continue after a major dam and hydroelectric power plant in southern Ukraine were destroyed, unleashing flooding near the front lines. Viktor Ivankhnenko
