Good idea: corridors for southern Africa's growing elephant population
https://news.mongabay.com/2025/12/corridors-not-culls-offer-solution-to-southern-africas-growing-elephant-population/
In Southern Africa overall, populations of elephants are stable, or even growing, but space for them is not. This pressure has increased human-elephant conflict and fueled calls from some for elephant culls. Z16’s epic trek underscores a quieter, more hopeful solution to the region’s so-called “elephant problem”: keeping the routes that connect fragmented ranges open through the creation and protection of wildlife corridors.

Corridors, not culls, offer solution to Southern Africa’s growing elephant population
Since being collared in Zambia two years ago, a young bull elephant known to researchers as Z16 has walked nearly 12,000 kilometers, or 7,500 miles — three times the distance between New York and Los Angeles. In that time, Z16 has traversed four countries…

Laut Trumps neuer National Security Strategy wollen die USA Europa künftig so behandeln, wie der Westen den Osten und den Süden stets behandelt hat: Sich in unsere Wahlen einmischen und unsere Gesetze aushebeln, um uns »Zivilisation« beizubringen.

The entire motivation behind designing cities (and destroying old ones) to force people to be dependent on cars, is to force as many Americans as possible to consume as much oil as possible.

Good idea: subsidize care work
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y9ez3kzrdo
In a village in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, a woman receives a small but steady sum each month - not wages, for she has no formal job, but an unconditional cash transfer from the government.
Premila Bhalavi says the money covers medicines, vegetables and her son's school fees. The sum, 1,500 rupees ($16: £12), may be small, but its effect - predictable income, a sense of control and a taste of independence - is anything but.
