A conservation group has acquired over 1,500 acres of land north of Yellowstone National Park to prevent the construction of a gold mine that could have disrupted the habitat of bears and other wildlife. The move comes after a joint study conducted by India's coal and environment ministries in 2010 recommended that the Hasdeo Arand forest be designated a 'no-go area' for coal mining due to its rich biodiversity. Meanwhile, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has declared 21 species extinct, emphasizing the need for conservation efforts to protect imperiled species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has classified North America's monarch butterfly as 'vulnerable' to extinction. The extinction of 21 species across 16 states in the U.S. has raised concerns among wildlife officials. Private landowners are reportedly alienated by the Endangered Species Act, hindering conservation efforts. The declaration of these species as extinct serves as a wake-up call to prioritize conservation before it's too late.

We are fairly certain that insect numbers in Europe have steeply declined, even if it is not quite an "insect apocalypse", but the exact cause is unclear. Now researchers think there may be a simple explanation - the weather. https://t.co/Bd9CEP7Io1

In 2010, India’s coal and environment ministries conducted a joint study that found the Hasdeo Arand forest should be a “no-go area” for coal mining because of its rich biodiversity. The government approved the mine’s construction a year later anyway https://t.co/lvTmX6vmdw
