Re-establishing a healthy ecosystem in the Niger Delta
In Nigeria, in the Niger River delta polluted by decades of fossil fuel exploitation, ecologists would be engaged in interventions that aim to restore the original flora, in particular mangrove forests essential for a healthy ecosystem and ensure the survival of local communities, especially in very degraded areas where biodiversity is seriously threatened. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, the solutions that some suggest to form glaciers to accumulate water reserves for the summer months should be noted, in practice it would be enough to channel streams of water on land (statics permitting) where the temperature remains very low so that layers of ice are formed, then gradually the subsequent layers will consolidate until they form a glacier; then just cover with natural insulating material.

Obese in large numbers in the world
Without incisive changes it is estimated that three billion and eight hundred million adults will be obese in fifteen years, at least according to an estimate by researchers who point out that the epidemic of overweight and obesity is seen as a kind of tragedy, then the problem is that adolescents are increasingly overweight or obese with significant repercussions from the point of view of health. According to forecasts for example a third of all obese young people will live in two regions such as North Africa and the Middle East, then Latin America and the Caribbean, but there would be time to intervene to ensure that this does not happen. Generally the world has gone from nine hundred and twenty-nine million obese people in 1990 to two billion and six hundred million in 2021, more than half of overweight and obese people live in just eight countries: China, India, the United States, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Indonesia and Egypt.

A cyclone approaches Brisbane in Australia
A rare tropical cyclone called "Alfred" is approaching the densely populated east coast of Australia and in particular threatens Brisbane, the third most populated city in the country; there is talk of emergency warnings with hundreds of schools closed and danger of flooding for thousands of homes. Torrential rainfall and potentially destructive gusts of wind are expected, then high waves on the coasts and in the city of Brisbane alone a forecast model warns that almost twenty thousand homes could be flooded. Sandbags have been distributed to defend against any flooding and supermarket shelves are often partially empty to accumulate stock. While cyclones are quite frequent in tropical waters and therefore quite warm it is rare for them to form in colder waters and therefore in this case it would be the first since 1974.

Floods in Jakarta in Indonesia
Days of heavy rainfall with consequent flooding have forced thousands of people to leave their homes in Indonesia's capital Jakarta, then more intense rains are expected in the coming days. There is talk of submerged roads where rescue must be brought with rubber dinghies, while the authorities plan to activate pumps to extract water from flooded areas, then evacuation centers have been set up and basic necessities have been distributed to the rescued people; difficulties due to flooding also in the hospital in the city of Bekasi forcing the evacuation of patients. It is worth mentioning the change of flooding scenery also in the Canary Islands due to intense cloudbursts with roads transformed into torrents of water and mud with difficulties and inconvenience for the population.

Damage on the Reunion island hit by a cyclone
The island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean in French overseas territory was recently lashed by cyclone "Garance" which caused damage, uncovering roofs, uprooting trees and leaving tens of thousands of users without electricity and water; then there is talk of at least two victims and inconvenience for the population. Torrential rainfall turned the streets into torrents of flooding water that swept over cars and dragged debris, some people said they were frightened by the force of the cyclone. It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, that the melting of the Antarctic ice could slow down the circumpolar current, at least from the results of a study that simulated a scenario with high greenhouse gas emissions over the next twenty-five years with an Australian supercomputer.

Forecast on the increase in egg prices in the U.S.
It is expected that the price of eggs in the United States could increase by over forty percent, and the price has already risen significantly on supermarket shelves. Sometimes it happens that they are hard to find, which is due to the fact that thirty million laying hens have been culled to limit the spread of avian influenza in the country. With the approach of the Easter holidays, a significant increase in the demand for eggs is expected, but prices are already high and availability is low, so it is thought that the market may reach price peaks. There have also been reports of thefts of entire pallets full of egg cartons and smuggling of eggs from neighboring countries; some say that the desire to eat them diminishes because they are so expensive. It is worth noting that cereals combined with legumes and a little grated cheese are an excellent complete and economical protein source.

Biodiversity loss often hidden
At a recent conference in Rome that allocated funds to stop the increasing unstoppable destruction of nature it was also discussed how biodiversity loss is often hidden and ignored, and the real costs of this destruction largely due to farmers who want to exploit the land for intensive cultivation are difficult to quantify. The agreement reached by many countries (but the United States did not participate in the conference) to finance initiatives aimed at protecting nature is in the opinion of some crucial to succeeding in protecting thirty percent of the land and seas, a goal that had previously been outlined without being able to reach full agreement; then it will be necessary to monitor the progress made by the countries that will use the funds allocated to protect biodiversity.

A cyclone threatens Mauritius and La Reunion
After the authorities warned the residents of the Indian Ocean islands Mauritius and La Reunion (famous tourist destinations) of the danger posed by the arrival of the cyclone called "Garance" category three characterized by wind gusts of over two hundred kilometers per hour, the alert level would have been raised, especially for the island of La Reunion in French overseas territory. Airports and schools have been closed and the population is invited to stay indoors, many inhabitants have stockpiled food and reinforced their homes, fishermen have brought boats to port. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that a conference was held in Rome to allocate resources for a nature protection project given that there would only be five years left to try to stem the continuous loss of biodiversity.

Measles cases in the United States and Canada
Health authorities report a decrease in measles vaccinations due to some epidemic outbreaks; in fact, this viral disease can also be very dangerous, especially in children under the age of five. This virus can easily spread through the air, causing cough, fever, reddish and pink spots on the skin, and can lead to respiratory and neurological complications, pneumonia, and brain damage. For children meningitis and encephalitis can cause health issues that last a lifetime, so it is undoubtedly healthy to vaccinate them with two doses, generally the first at twelve to fifteen months of age and the second before starting school, which helps protect the entire body. Ten days is the incubation period for the measles virus, and spots (rash) often appear on the face and mouth.

The so-called third pole in considerable suffering
After the Arctic and Antarctica, the largest volumes of ice would be found among the peaks of the Hindu Kush in the Himalayas and for this reason it can be considered a kind of third pole of the planet that extends for three thousand five hundred kilometers and eight countries, from Afghanistan to Myanmar; but climate change is causing an accelerated melting of the ice with warming about three times compared to global averages and therefore considerable suffering for the entire vast area affected and serious consequences on biodiversity as well as a decrease in water, energy and food resources. Given the situation, international organizations propose 2025 as the year for the preservation of glaciers, much depends on how intense warming will be in the coming decades with estimates generally not very comforting due to human lifestyles that are decidedly not very ecological.
