Every year, patches of Australian forests are consumed by fire, an ecologically necessary process that releases soil nutrients and stimulates plant growth. When the fire season is exacerbated by drought and high temperature, however, the devastation is so great that some citizens are forced to flee their homes. In the most extreme circumstances, natural habitats are ruined completely, even to the point of species extirpation.聽

Responses should include prioritizing funding for research on male infertility and making assisted reproductive treatment more accessible.
Despite headlines about the labour shortage and aging population, people remain strangely unaware of this impending fertility crisis. As well, infertility is wrongly perceived as a female-only health issue. It鈥檚 urgent that we move to ensure fair and equitable access to fertility treatment. Prof. Sarah Kimmins (AnSci) and Montreal attorney Jo毛l Roy in the Montreal Gazette.
Once prevalent in Montreal, the littlest falcon's downfall is a bellwether for hard times. 鈥淭he story of the kestrel is happening to other bird species.鈥
Throughout the 1900s, North America鈥檚 littlest falcon was also described as the continent鈥檚 most common and widespread. Small but fierce and marked with bright plumage rare in the raptor world, the American kestrel could be seen throughout the continent, diving and swooping in fallow fields or under the stadium lights at baseball games, hunting for plump moths or small mice.
Skiing, snowshoeing, stargazing and bird-watching are just a few items on the winter menu at local parks.
