Study Shows Elephants evolving to be tuskless in Response to Years of Ivory Poaching

Scientists have found over 11 variations of microorganisms in Siberia’s permafrost which have shown resistant to antibiotics. Other risks pointed out by scientists include the by-products of fossil fuels and metal deposits which can lead to contamination of water as well as land. Diego Fernandez from ESA stated, “Research being conducted as part of the ESA-NASA Arctic Methane and Permafrost Challenge within our science for society program is vital to understanding the science of the changing arctic. Thawing permafrost clearly poses huge challenges, but more research is needed. NASA and ESA are joining forces to foster scientific collaboration across the Atlantic to ensure we develop solid science and knowledge so that decision-makers are armed with the correct information to help address these issues.”
