No full textThis article examines the Indian Supreme Court’s recent intervention in the country’s stray dog issue, triggered by public safety concerns following a fatal rabies case.

The EAT-Lancet Commission’s 2025 Report
No full textThe 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission Report presents a comprehensive scientific update on how global food systems can be transformed to nourish people while preserving planetary boundaries. Building on its influential 2019 framework, the Commission reaffirms the benefits of a largely plant-rich “Planetary Health Diet,” coupled with sustainable farming, reduced food loss and waste, and equitable food access. It finds that adopting such diets worldwide could prevent up to 15 million premature deaths annually, significantly reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions, and address deep inequities in food security. The report calls for systemic change across policy, production, and consumption to deliver healthier, more sustainable, and just food systems for all
Living with Beavers in America: Part 3

It explores the regulatory frameworks governing beaver management, typical conflict scenarios (such as tree loss and flooding), and emerging approaches that enable coexistence without unnecessary removal. Ultimately, the piece highlights the importance of reevaluating human desires and values alongside the measurable environmental contributions beavers make, offering insights into more harmonious and sustainable human-wildlife interactions
