World - / Jul 30, 2026 - Tourist feeding helped push Japan's famous Rabbit Island beyond its natural limits - The unchecked practice of tourists feeding rabbits on Okunoshima has led to an overwhelming rise in their population, creating serious ecological concerns. This steady food source is altering animal behaviors, with wild boars starting to hunt rabbits more frequently. The plant life suffers, evident in the stark 'rabbit line' marking the landscape. Experts suggest implementing regulated feeding practices and formulating long-term conservation strategies for the island.

World - / Jul 30, 2026 - China has added 447,500 Sq km of planted forest, but lost 219,100 sq km of natural forest - China's large-scale tree planting programmes helped increase overall forest cover over three decades, but a new study says they also coincided with growing fragmentation of natural forests. Researchers found plantations often expanded near natural forest edges, breaking up connected habitats. The study also found China's Natural Forest Protection Program helped slow this fragmentation in protected areas.
