After humans change the ecological environment
If you were lucky enough to visit the American Museum of Natural History, you would see a passage in the Species Diversity exhibit that says we are now in the midst of the sixth great biological extinction, caused entirely by human alteration of the ecology. what?

"New Zealand Wood Pigeon, the "Drunkard of Birds
In New Zealand, there is a bird that is like the "drunk" of birds, often getting drunk and not making a fuss when they do, either lying on the ground or falling from the trees.

Bear vomits due to human feeding
A bear vomited because it ate food fed by tourists in the Tianjin Zoo. This is not the first time that something similar has happened in the zoo, and even every year many animals die because of feeding by tourists.

This woman is genetically positive q
In the early 19th century, in a remote village in Venezuela, a woman named Maria Concepcion got married and gave birth to a child. What she didn't know was that her genes would affect her children and grandchildren for over 200 years, causing them great distress and even a number of them being afflicted with the disease because she carried Huntington's chorea mutation gene.

This animal is not a picky eater
Killer whales, this guy can use superb skills, do not bother to kill the great white shark, open the belly to suck its liver, but also can chase two hours to the gray whale to exhausted half dead, and then knock it out to eat its tongue, what beach hunting, creating tsunamis, which are routine operations.

Resurrecting the mammoth?
The first Russian laboratory for cloning extinct animals has started work in Yakutsk, Russian media reported on September 1. The first task of the researchers is to "enable the regeneration of mammoths". The project brings together scholars from Russia, China and South Korea. South Korean geneticist Hwang U-seok, who is involved in the project, said that if the complete genome is found, they hope to clone the mammoth within a few decades. Can the extinct mammoth really be revived?

Should extinct animals be resurrected?
In central Kenya, three of the world's four remaining North African white rhinos live here, and they stubbornly refuse to breed. Since 2009, conservationists have been trying to "cage" these rhinos together, but to no avail. Today, the only male northern white rhinoceros is nearly 43 years old and too old to reproduce, making the extinction of this subspecies inevitable, only a matter of time.

Mammoth remains found in Michigan, USA
With the discovery of nearly complete mammoth remains in Michigan last week, questions about the fate of the mammoth have been raised again for a while: Did humans put an end to the Ice Age's most massive mammoth?

Switzerland's ingenious cooling caves
It was a crisp, clear summer's afternoon, and our boat was drifting on the sparkling blue waters of Lake Lugano in Switzerland's Italian-speaking canton of Ticino. Local fisherwoman Gabriella Monfredini Rigiani, who organises boat tours and local meal experiences in Ticino, had offered to take me around the lake and its picturesque mountain-clinging villages, many of which are only reachable by boat. As part of my half-day tour, we stopped at some grottos lining the shore of the glacial lake.

Stunning cabins and hideaways around the world
hat do rural cabins give us that we can't get at home? They're smaller than many permanent dwellings, and are likely to be more basic in their furniture, fixtures and fittings. But these perceived downsides are part of what makes them so attractive. They present a break from normal life, giving inhabitants access to a different way of being. "We are all longing for a 'third place' (somewhere that's neither our workplace nor home) which allows us to be a different person," says Robert Klanten, publisher and CEO of Gestalten, citing the kaffeehaus – or coffee shop – in the 1920s; the local bar in the 1960s; the club in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, he believes, the third place is a cabin. "We may unwind and recharge and eventually become a different person for a while or for good."

ECOSYSTEM STABILITY DETERMINED BY TWO SIMPLE FACTORS

The downsides of a 'wipe-clean world'
t is impossible to underestimate the enormous impact that plastic has had on our daily lives over the past century or so. The expansion of global communications, the electrification of our homes and space exploration would have all been unthinkable without it. The streamlined aesthetic of the 1930s and the futuristic shapes of the 60s would have taken very different forms. Yet a product once associated with progress and revolutionary design potential is now considered toxic, polluting our oceans and causing untold damage to marine and human health. In the exhibition Plastic: Remaking Our World, the Vitra Design Museum explores how plastic became so omnipresent, and encourages us to think about more considerate production and use. The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam is also addressing the issue in It's Our F***ing Backyard, which looks at products already on the market as well as experimental works.
