A male peregrine falcon has been found dead on the roof of Leicester Cathedral.

The Leicestershire and Rutland Ornithological Society (LROS) said the bird was thought to have died on Friday from avian flu.

Government officials have not yet confirmed the cause of death.

Tests on two other peregrines found dead at the cathedral in August confirmed at least one died as result of the influenza outbreak.

The male joined the cathedral nest in the spring when it was already occupied by a female and her eggs.

In August, the female andone of her two juveniles died.

Jim Graham, LROS president said the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) ran tests on both birds to establish their cause…

The planet is heading for “climate catastrophe”, the UN has warned as a report showed how far off track nations are on cutting global warming pollution.

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) released its annual Emissions Gapreporton Thursday, showing that current commitments by governments to curb the rise of global temperature are “woefully inadequate”.

Current government climate policies leave the world on track to reach an average 2.8 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit) temperature rise this century, the report said, while implementation of current pledges will lower the rise of temperature to 2.4-2.6C (4.3-4.7F) this century.

Government officials will meet from November 6-18 at the COP 27 climate talks in Egypt to discuss how to limit the…

There is “no credible pathway to 1.5C in place”, the UN’s environment agency has said, and the failure to reduce carbon emissions means the only way to limit the worst impacts of the climate crisis is a “rapid transformation of societies”.

The UN Environment report analysed the gap between the CO2 cuts pledged by countries and the cuts needed to limit any rise in global temperature to 1.5C, the internationally agreed target. Progress has been “woefully inadequate” it concluded.

Coal power has resurged since the pandemic, like at this coal processing plant in China’s Shanxi Province, but research shows it should be phased out by 2030 to avoid extreme climate change.

World leaders will begin climate talks in Egypt in a little over a week, and tensions are expected to run high in the negotiations to reduce heat-trapping emissions.

Now, new research shows the world has already fallen drastically behind in adopting the changes needed to avoid a future with even more extreme storms, heat waves and floods.

Collectively, countries have promised to reduce heat-trapping emissions by about 3% by 2030, compared to 2020 levels. That’s far from the 45% drop that’s needed, according to a new report from the United Nations Environment Program.

Cutting emissions nearly in half by the end of the…

STARKS — An Industry man was in stable condition at a Bangor hospital after he was mistakenly shot by a friend while the pair were bird hunting last weekend in Starks, according to the state Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

The two were hunting Saturday in a field behind the town office in Starks when their dog went on-point toward nearby woods, Mark Latti, a spokesman for Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, said in an email late Wednesday. David Dorr, 66, was walking ahead of his friend, a woman in her 60s from Rhode Island, when she moved into the woods to flush…

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah wildlife officials are proposing a new plan to manage elk populations as their agency’s current plan expires and the demand to hunt the species grows to all-time highs.

Dax Mangus, the big game coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, says that the proposal seeks to address growing concerns about the ability to obtain an elk hunting permit and overcrowding during the hunting season.

“We evaluated a lot of different options, trade-offs, and ultimately, in the end, have drafted some really innovative new strategies to help with elk…

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department will continue its Hunter-Harvested Surveillance program during the 2022 hunting season by sampling deer for chronic wasting disease from select units in the western portion of the state, and unit 2B in the east.

Samples will be tested from deer taken from units 1, 2B, 3A1, 3A2, 3A3, 3A4, 3B1, 3B2, 3C, 3D1, 3D2, 3E1, 3E2, 3F1, 3F2, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and 4F.

CWD is a slow-moving brain disease of deer, moose and elk that can cause population-level impacts under high infection rates.

Hunters are encouraged to drop off heads of adult or yearling deer atcollection locations. Fawns and head-shot deer cannot be tested. Hunters wishing to keep the heads can bring them to a Game and Fish district office during business hours to have them sampled.

Self-sampling kits are availablefor hunters who wish to…

HOWE — There is no sign of the 73-year-old man who disappeared last week.

Deputies from Butte County Sheriff’s Office and volunteers have been looking for Michael Faller of Idaho Falls.

On Sunday, search and rescue teams were out with a cadaver dog. Others on horses were also searching, according to family spokeswoman Ashley Countryman.

“There’s just no signs of him or even an animal if maybe he thought he had gotten one because he was hunting,” said Countryman. “There’s just no trace of anything.”

Access to traditional foods has long been a priority for Ketchikan’s federally recognized tribe. But for decades, Ketchikan residents have been barred from taking part in federal subsistence hunts and fisheries.

Now, Ketchikan Indian Community is pushing to change that. It hinges on one big question: is Ketchikan a rural community?

Trixie Bennett, the president of Ketchikan’s tribe, said the push to designate Ketchikan as a rural community is a major step toward the tribe’s goal of food sovereignty.

“Our food is our way of life,” Bennett said. “Our food is the medicine, our culture is the medicine.”

If Ketchikan were classified as rural, all residents — Native and non-Native — would be…
