Early springs are killing Bambi 9:23

9:23

This summer could be one of the hottest ever recorded on Earth, marked by early heatwaves, droughts and storms. As the weather grows more unpredictable, wildlife is under pressure to adapt or disappear. In France, scientists have discovered that roe deer are struggling. Spring arrives too early and many fawns miss the peak of their food supply. As a result, some turn to farmland in search of food, but this is extremely risky and sometimes deadly. Down to Earth's Aurore Cloé Dupuis, Juliette Alfano and Elodie Radenac report.…

Every year, more than 60,000 tonnes of clothes are shipped to northern Chile from Europe, the US and Asia. Whether they're brand new, unsold or second hand, many of these items are abandoned or burned in Chile's Atacama desert – releasing toxic fumes, affecting people's health and scarring the landscape. A recycling plant is set to open soon, with more than 3,000 tonnes of clothes already waiting. The local community is calling for stricter global regulations, as residents suffer the consequences of the fast fashion industry. The Down to Earth team takes a closer look.…

As the UN Ocean Conference kicks off in Nice, we're focusing on seagrass meadows: vital climate allies that are among the least protected ecosystems on Earth.
