The author writes , “An indigenous community in Indonesia has found a way to protect one of the world’s rarest cockatoos without abandoning a sacred, centuries-old tradition, according to new research published in the Journal of Ethnobiology .
The study documents how the Huaulu people worked with conservation researchers and government authorities to adapt the ceremony to save the endangered salmon-crested cockatoo.”
From the Associated Press : “American oil and gas giants raked in massive spring profits while fighting between Iran and the U.S. impeded petroleum shipments and consumers around the world paid more for fuel and confronted shortages.
The conflict, now in its sixth month, halted most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that previously served as a delivery route for a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas.
With global supplies constrained, prices for Brent crude, the international standard, soared from about $70 to above $100 a barrel for much of March, April and May, and at one point reached $126.”
The author writes , “President Trump’s proposed 250-foot-tall triumphal arch would change the skyline of Washington to such an extent that it would intrude on views at dozens of historic sites around the capital, according to an assessment by National Park Service staff.
It would disrupt the symbolic relationship between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, obstruct sightlines from the Kennedy Gravesite and Robert E.
Lee’s home, and alter what official documents call ‘one of the most magnificent’ views in Washington at the National Cathedral four miles away, the Park Service said.”
From The Guardian : “For generations, support for Israel was central to Jewish-American identity.
But today, amid accusations that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, a growing generational and political divide is reshaping views in the US Jewish community.
Matthew Cassel travels to New York City — the heart of Jewish-American life — to explore how Israel’s wars across multiple fronts are challenging long-held traditions and dividing families.”
The authors write , “On Sunday, the Federal Communications Commission issued an important update clarifying how its national security restrictions on equipment from certain foreign companies apply to robots.
The update may be broader than it first seemed.
In addition to banning the import of new models of humanoid robots that walk and dance, the language could also apply to household devices like robot vacuums and other mobile technology.”
From Inside Climate News : “A 60-year mystery has been solved as researchers discover a coral ecosystem on the Benin-Togo continental shelf that is still teeming with marine life.”
