This last collision, also known as the “moon-forming impact,” was so large that—in addition to adding lots of material to the Earth—there was enough energy to vaporize some of the rock and metal from both the proto-Earth and the impacting object.

Scientists say sea ice loss has slowed over the past 20 years due to natural variability in atmospheric and ocean systems, counterbalancing the impacts from human-caused climate change. However, researchers warn that this slowdown likely offers only a temporary reprieve, and that the continued escalation of global warming could cause rapid sea ice loss before 2050. The U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center for the first time switched to using Japanese sea ice data after losing access to key U.S. military satellite data, which had allowed for a continuous Arctic sea ice record since 1979.","link_original":"https://news.mongabay.com/2025/09/no-new-record-low-for-arctic-sea-ice-loss-in-2025/","status":2,"country":[],"sections":[{"id":164,"name":"The Arctic Ocean"}],"root_section":{"id":107,"name":"Life-friendly Earth"},"is_photo":false,"is_video":false,"is_large_font":false,"show_in_news_list":false,"url_to_show_in_news_list":"","location_filters":{"countries":[],"regions":[{"id":11,"name":"The Arctic Ocean"}]},"filters":[]},{"id":"ab523520-6272-4cbf-a2be-9692a9448cb0","slug":"endangered-andean-cat-is-imperiled-by-climate-change-and-its-solutions-by-sean-mowbray-for-mongabay-post","created_at":"2025-07-14T08:11:37.367934Z","views":20,"name":"Endangered Andean cat is imperiled by climate change and its solutions | by Sean Mowbray for Mongabay","about":"The species is exceedingly rare across its entire range and researchers must endure high altitudes, reduced oxygen levels and adverse weather conditions to study and monitor widely scattered populations.","text":"The elusive Andean cat (Leopardus jacobita), one of South America’s most endangered small wildcats, survives in fragmented high-altitude habitats across Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru, with fewer than 2,000 mature individuals estimated in the wild.

These include stricter rules against shark finning, a wider ban on retaining certain shark species, and limits on fishing gear known to increase shark bycatch. While conservationists celebrated this progress as a \"win\" for sharks, they expressed disappointment over the lack of stronger protections for the endangered shortfin mako shark. The adopted measures for makos include a partial retention ban, allowing fishers to keep dead makos if their vessels have observers or electronic monitoring. Concerns were also raised about the effectiveness of a partial ban on wire leaders, a fishing gear that contributes significantly to shark catches.\n\nThe IOTC also discussed tuna fisheries, with a key decision to review the recent assessment that yellowfin tuna is no longer overfished, a finding met with skepticism by some due to past overfishing and uncertainties in the data.","link_original":"https://news.mongabay.com/2025/05/tuna-talks-bring-wins-for-indian-ocean-sharks-but-more-needed-experts-say/","status":2,"country":[],"sections":[{"id":162,"name":"The Indian Ocean"}],"root_section":{"id":107,"name":"Life-friendly Earth"},"is_photo":false,"is_video":false,"is_large_font":false,"show_in_news_list":false,"url_to_show_in_news_list":"","location_filters":{"countries":[],"regions":[]},"filters":[]},{"id":"cb2be76a-5ce4-4ae7-8350-22ce4617b382","slug":"to-benefit-biodiversity-climate-restoring-lost-forests-works-best-study-by-marlowe-starling-for-mongabay-post","created_at":"2025-07-18T12:09:41.453856Z","views":14,"name":"To benefit biodiversity & climate, restoring lost forests works best: Study | by Marlowe Starling for Mongabay","about":"Restoring lost forests is the most effective land-based way to boost biodiversity and fight climate change.

Nevertheless, both sites show signs of species thriving amid reduced human pressure and radioactive contamination, giving rise to what scientists describe as \"a new ecology.\" The porous borders of exclusion zones, human activities, and environmental factors contribute to ongoing challenges, emphasizing the need for comprehensive research into the relationships between radiation, organisms, and ecosystems.
