Tracking Red Wolf Recovery: From Seven to Twenty-Eight As a new year begins, so too do new and exciting updates from the Red Wolf recovery efforts. Ten sub-adult Red Wolves have been fitted with GPS tracking collars

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that about half of the Red #Wolf puppies born last year have survived their first year in the wild! The current number of GPS-collared, wild Red #Wolves is 26 individuals, and there is a total wild population of around 28 individuals.

Philippines government auctions to offer 25GW of renewable energy capacity a year until 2035 The Philippines will launch a number of renewable energy auctions between 2027 and 2035 for at least 25GW of capacity each year.

🇵🇭 Filipinos want #CleanEnergy and they’re willing to pay for it. ⚡They’ve pledged to buy at least 25GW of clean energy annually through 2035 and are rolling out 3.2GW of utility-scale #solar across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. ☀️🏝️ #Renewables will replace fossil fuels across the archipelago. 🔋

IEA calls peak coal, even as "Age of Electricity" takes hold to boost global power demand IEA says the world has already passed "peak coal", even with an expected huge boost in global power demand caused by the "age of electricity".

The #IEA says coal has peaked as the world enters the age of electricity. ⚡ Rapid growth in #renewables and #nuclear ☀️⚛️ is outpacing new coal generation. It's also reshaping power markets, even as global electricity demand keeps rising. 🔌

Earth's heat to produce electricity for homes in UK clean energy first Water super-heated by rocks will also provide the UK's first domestic supply of the critical mineral lithium.

A new #geothermal power plant is operating in Cornwall, UK.⚡🌍 It generates electricity by pumping water deep underground where rocks heat it up, creating #renewable power for about 10K homes.🏠 It also plans to extract #lithium for EV batteries. Thus it could power homes and support the clean tech🔋

Global shipping industry sticks with green investments, despite carbon price delay The industry's biggest players are forging ahead with billions of dollars in emissions-reducing investments, according to company officials and a Reuters analysis of data.

Global shipping is doubling down on #GreenFuels. 🚢🌱 Major companies continue investing in green #methanol and #ammonia despite United States opposition. Long-term fuel contracts and new vessel orders show the industry is betting on long-term #decarbonisation, not short-term policy shifts. ⚓♻️

Good morning with good news: Battery capacity doubles by 2027 & often firms solar!

Utility-scale solar jumps 49% (~70 GW) by 2027!

Solar is often low-cost option.

Utility-scale solar, small-solar, wind & hydro will generate ~29% of USA's electricity in 2027.

Virginia to utilities: Do more with the existing power grid Amid rising energy costs, the state just passed a first-of-a-kind bill that would force utilities to quantify and examine ways to reduce waste on the grid.

Virginia’s power demand is ballooning — so it’s looking to use more of the grid it already has.

No grid, no problem: How Amazon communities built their own power systems Near Brazil’s Belo Monte dam, one of the world’s largest hydropower projects, the promise of abundant electricity has proved uneven. A household survey of 500 families in Altamira found that 86.8%…

Near Brazil’s Belo Monte dam, many households still face high power bills and outages.

In remote Amazon villages, residents are building their own systems using solar panels and river turbines, bringing reliable electricity, internet access and local technical skills.

A new study by TU Delft and the University of Oregon, found that shared micromobility can strengthen public transport systems. Especially when cities focus on three types of integration: institutional, physical, and digital.

How the ‘wrong story’ ends up harming nature, and how we can change it Indigenous scholar Tyson Yunkaporta (Apalech clan (Wik) Lostmob Nungar) joins the Mongabay Newscast to detail the Aboriginal perspectives behind his latest book, Right Story, Wrong Story: Adventures…

[PODCAST]

Indigenous scholar Tyson Yunkaporta says the stories societies tell shape how people treat land and each other.

On the Mongabay Newscast, he explains how “wrong stories” fuel exploitation, and how Indigenous knowledge and “right story” thinking could guide a more sustainable future.

An oil company quietly dug a surprisingly deep geothermal well Oxy drilled four miles down in Colorado, and did so quickly — a promising development for the geothermal industry.

This fossil fuel company is drilling for something new: Carbon-free heat four miles beneath the Earth that could power a geothermal plant.

From @cprnews.bsky.social:

We're jumping for joy because a commission has voted to halt the sales of fur from #Colorado wildlife 🦊🦫

In response to our petition, the CO Parks and Wildlife Commission voted 6-4 to begin a rulemaking process to prohibit the commercial sale of furs taken from the state’s wildlife.

Oregon pushes new homes to install heat pumps over ACs In a state where energy costs have risen sharply, newly adopted rules will boost adoption of the clean heating and cooling appliances.

Heat pumps combine heating and cooling into one ultra-efficient appliance. A new Oregon building code suggests they replace ACs altogether.

Learning from Tracked Birds: Conservation and Compassion A recent post in Rewilding Earth, “Rewilded Condors Find a Haven in Chilean Patagonia,” discusses the importance of satellite tracking for the protection of

One side effect of such research: Learning the stories of individual birds encourages us to empathize with their struggles and triumphs as unique sentient beings. From a #rewilding standpoint, this is arguably its most radical implication.

Solar will be Japan's largest source of electricity by 2040, according to Japan's 2025 Energy Plan.

Japan's energy plan calls for solar to jump from 100 GW in 2024 to 203 GW-280 GW by 2040, generating ~29% of its power.

Solar was 18.8% in May 2025.
