A cougar attacked them. They fought back for 45 harrowing minutes
“All these ladies came up with superhuman strength,” she said. “They’re teeny ladies, and I know that the Fish & Wildlife shot the final shot to kill it. But these ladies killed that cougar with their bare hands and no weapons. I’m eternally grateful to each one of them.”

Researchers: Sweden has vast ‘old growth’ forests, but they are being chopped down faster than the Amazon
Most of Europe’s natural ecosystems have been lost over the centuries. However, a sizeable amount of natural old forest still exists, especially in the north.

Uutisanalyysi: Salametsästys ei ole kannanotto petopolitiikkaan, vaan tahallisia tekoja, joista voi tulla kallis lasku

Weather forecasts have become much more accurate; we now need to make them available to everyone
The biggest improvements we’ve seen are for longer timeframes. By the early 2000s, 5-day forecasts were “highly accurate” and 7-day forecasts are reaching that threshold today. 10-day forecasts aren’t quite there yet but are getting better.
