From vanishing corals to submerged cemeteries, Vanuatu champions a global climate fight

PORT VILA, Vanuatu (AP) — A decade ago, when John Warmington first explored the reef near his home in Havannah Harbor, Vanuatu, it was teeming with life. Corals stretched upward like an underwater forest, with branching staghorns in golden hues, sprawling plate corals, and schools of vibrant fish weaving through the maze. “We knew every corner of that reef. It was like family to us,” Warmington recalled. John Warmington, who has dived more than a thousand times in the same section of reef off

Karen Fawcett, a palaeoartist specializing in scientifically informed recreations of prehistoric life, took on the difficult task of building the most accurate reconstruction of the dodo to date.

Putin Prepared for Prolonged War in Ukraine, Views Defeat as Unthinkable – FT

Російський президент Володимир Путін, схоже, ігнорує жорстку риторику з боку колишнього президента США Дональда Трампа, і, незважаючи ні на що, не збирається згортати воєнні дії в Україні до досягнення поставлених ним цілей. За словами оглядачки Le Monde Сільві Кауфманн, яка пише у Financial Times, Трамп тепер змушений рахуватися з перспективою тривалого протистояння. Путін, у свою чергу, прагне реалізувати свої плани — чого б це не коштувало. Українці ж показують сильну волю до спротиву та не
