On a more positive note, this article shares some species that were saved from the “brink of extinction” with the help of conservation actions and highlights the important efforts needed to continue the progress made in conserving wildlife. #mchslang23

Overall habitat loss seems to be an overarching crisis falling among animals and it is concerning to see the brink of extinction many species face because of it.

A new study found that 1 in 5 reptiles is threatened with extinction. Scientists are calling for crucial conservation efforts for particularly crocodiles and turtles. What conservation actions should be mandated to protect these species? #mchslang23

More specifically it was found that habitat loss and competition with invasive species is the main threat to reptiles. Threats to reptiles were most visible in forest environments, according to the study.

Will this ban be passed and help issues revolving around smoking and preventable deaths or will it just be dismissed?

[Kiara L @Kiarall0]

Hopefully, as a step toward protecting public health, the US Food and Drug Administration is expected to propose a ban on menthol in cigarettes and ban flavored cigars.

They worry about how they will live in a world with an unpredictable climate and the destruction of nature. On Thursday a new survey found that 45% of UK students worry about climate change once a week or more and are overwhelmed by the scale of problems facing the planet.

A new project has been launched to address rising climate anxiety in students at the University of East Anglia. Students said they felt hopelessness, anger and despair about climate change.

@ShrutiP58 @t_rebekah_ I agree completely, we spend the majority of our days at school, 7 hours a day, five times a week. It is the school's responsibility to support their students and guide them. More resources for mental health, wellness, and awareness should be available so students are supported.

Are there any other ways that scientists can decrease the outbreaks caused by mosquitoes?

[Kiara L @Kiarall0]

Researchers have completed the first open-air study of genetically engineered mosquitoes in the United States. Its purpose being to reduce outbreaks caused by mosquitoes that carry viruses.

As each generation mates, more females die, and the A. aegypti mosquito population should decrease. However, disease outbreaks can occur even when A. aegypti populations are low, so reducing the mosquito population won’t necessarily decrease disease spread.

The change to a four-day school week was motivated, in part, by burnout among current teachers and difficulty recruiting new teachers. Should other school districts consider a four-day school week as opposed to five?

[Kiara L @Kiarall0]

A local school district in Texas has announced plans to reduce students' school weeks from the traditional five days to four days for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year. #mchslang23

This article states that the Disney World resort is to be powered up to 40% by the sun. Should other companies begin to make the switch to renewable energy? #mchslang23

What can be done to keep our oceans, forests, and other living ecosystems alive and thriving? #mchslang23

[Kiara L @Kiarall0]

“Earth's oceans, forests & other living ecosystems absorb & store about half of our annual global carbon emissions. It's critical to keep these landscapes intact by preventing deforestation & environmental degradation”(https://t.co/V5ZwX9obhD).
