#Sloths A legal sloth shipping crate. From Georgetown, Guyana → Miami, Florida, likely time in crate: Best case: ~18–36 hours But could be: 48+ hours Extremely sensitive to stress, noise and temperature, you can see why they can die in transit.

Chinese-built hydroelectric dams have taken an enormous environmental toll. Here's the story of one project that is threatening to drive an orangutan species to extinction, and of the people who have fought to block it. insideclimatenews.org/news/17082025/…

In Czechia beavers built a dam in 2 days, which local authorities had been planning for 7 years The animals saved the administration $1.2 million. A project to restore wetlands in the Brdy Landscape Park had been in development since 2018. Over the years, the administration gathered all the necessary permits and was ready to begin construction. But it turned out to be unnecessary—local beavers, which have lived in the park since 2020, took matters into their own hands, building dams in the required locations. "The beavers saved us 30 million Czech korunas. They built the dams without any project documentation—and for free," said the head of the nature reserve administration.

The Cape Cod Bay Seasonal Management Area is active January 1 to May 15. During this time, most vessels 65 feet or longer must travel at 10 knots or less in the area to reduce the risk of lethal vessel strikes of North Atlantic right whales. Learn more: bit.ly/3AiJCWs

As companies face stumbling blocks to build up the country's charging infrastructure, road trip range anxiety remains for many car owners. But efforts to change that are ramping up.

Also part of this push: Tesla agreed last year to open the company’s vast charging network to EVs from other manufacturers. But many customers are still waiting for the adapters that allow them to use those chargers, including one of the folks I met at the Rivian Outpost.

I visited EV company Rivian's first "Charging Outpost" on a trip to Yosemite in August. The move is part of a broader push from EV companies to expand charging access across the U.S., which I wrote about in my latest newsletter. (short 🧵) insideclimatenews.org/news/20092024/…
