Kenya’s Elephant Baby Boom
Efforts to curb poaching have helped Kenya’s elephant population more than double over the past three decades, the Kenya Wildlife Service said in August. There were just 16,000 elephants in Kenya in 1989, but by 2018 that number had grown to more than 34,000. The Kenyan government has stiffened fines and jail terms over the past several years for anyone convicted of poaching or trafficking in wildlife trophies such as lion heads or stools made from elephants’ feet.
China Cleans Up Its Bonds
Fossil fuels are no longer considered green by China’s central bank. The People’s Bank of China will remove “clean utilization of fossil fuel” from the list of programs that can be funded by green bonds. The bank had drawn the ire of environmentalists for allowing its sustainable financing tools to fund projects that burn coal but use technology to reduce air pollution.
Walmart Suppliers Slash Carbon
Walmart Inc. has cut 230 million metric tons of greenhouse gases out of its supply chain in the past three years. The retailer is putting pressure on suppliers to keep the cuts coming by using more clean energy, shifting toward environmentally friendly product design and packaging, cutting emissions from agriculture, and protecting forests.
Missing No Longer
The Somali sengi, a molelike mammal that hadn’t been spotted for 50 years, has been discovered to be alive and well. Scientists had feared the creature might be extinct. The sengi is known as an elephant shrew because it sucks up ants with its trunklike nose. While it wasn’t seen in Somalia for decades, it was found thriving in neighboring Djibouti.
