                 A new study out of the University of Oxford of 232 species found that those who end up separating have long migratory routes.The birds studied are those that are known to breed and raise their young together,and the trigger for the so-called '' divorce'' is low levels of breeding.The bird that leaves,goes in search of a better breeding partner to improve breeding success.-PRI,The World,November 8,2022

Wild boars in Rome

 There are around 2.3 million wild boars in Italy in May 2022,with around 20,000 in the area of Rome.A wild boar can weigh up to 200 pounds.

                           A growing problem has become an acute worry as wild boars proliferate in the garbage-strewn streets of Rome.The problem is now so bad that the city has banned picnics and imposed curfews after residents were attacked.Swine fever(fortunately harmless to humans) is running rampant among the boar population,and officials have prolonged the hunting season to try and control it-but with tourists about to descend on Rome in record numbers,it's hard to see how this problem will go away.

                          Packs of dozens of wild boars roam the outskirts of Rome with impunity.Rome is a green town plagued by piles of garbage,sprawling over green rolling hills;the green rolling hills provide urban hogs wildlife sanctuaries next to an endless food supply:the city's abundant garbage. An outbreak of swine fever  has reduced the wild boar population  around Rome in 2022.An outbreak of the swine flu collapses the population of wild boars from time to time.  -John Last.PRI,THE WORLD,June 2,2022

                              The shipping industry must support decarbonisation initiatives.The shipping industry must use more zero emission vessels.

                               Environmentalists also say we need to ship less and make more goods closer to where they are used.Buying local is a great idea.

Only mammal
