Deforestation targets not met By permanently losing over eight million hectares of forests in 2024 alone an area roughly the size of England the planet would be sixty-three percent away from the deforestation targets set in Glasgow in 2021 by one hundred and forty countries; therefore, we are far from being able to meet the goal of reversing deforestation practices by 2030. This is mainly due to the expansion of agricultural practices, the search for mines for gold and coal extraction, forest fires, and the lack of compliance with environmental protection regulations, there are also climate change for example with prolonged droughts and diseases that weaken trees plays a role. Apparently the subsidies planned for the agricultural sector end up fueling deforestation to meet market demand that could be satisfied in other ways. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 20, 2025

 New volcanic eruption in Indonesia Indonesian authorities in East Nusa Tenggara have raised the alert to the highest level due to a new eruption of the Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano on the island of Flores in south-central Indonesia, which is over seventeen hundred meters high with a double peak; there is talk of possible evacuations, as well as warnings to residents and tourists to stay away from the affected area, operations at the local airport in the city of Maumere are suspended. to report changing the subject but remaining on natural themes that environmentalists have reported a decline in wild bee colonies (and butterfly) in Europe which can consequently also affect wild plants that depend on them for vital pollination; then recently there have been torrential storms in Spain with floods in Catalonia leaving people trapped in cars and houses submerged in water. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 15, 2025 n°: 6079 Methane escaping from cracks in the Antarctic Large quantities of methane, a greenhouse gas eighty times more potent (in the first twenty years in the atmosphere) than carbon dioxide in terms of climate warming potential, escape in bubbles from cracks on the Antarctic seabed, at least according to recent observations in specific areas. These observations suggest that predictions regarding global warming may have been underestimated, although little is still known about how much methane actually reaches the atmosphere and how much is consumed by microbes living on the ocean floor; there could also be an impact on marine life. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural issues that a storm is approaching the East Coast of the United States, particularly South Carolina and New Jersey; meanwhile, in the Philippines there are reports of seven victims due to two recent tremors in Davao. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 11, 2025 n°: 6076 Northern areas of Vietnam struggling due to bad weather At least three people are reported dead due to the typhoon called "Matmo," which affected vast areas in northern Vietnam, there are reports of floods in Hanoi, with thousands of boats used to rescue people in difficulty, followed by evacuations, streets turned into raging torrents, flooded crops, and severe disruptions; this is just the latest extreme event in a series of floods that have struck the country. To report shifting the focus to Turkey, the situation is quite the opposite regarding extreme phenomena, with a prolonged drought considered one of the worst in half a century, water reserves have decreased also by to twenty-seven percent over three decades, particularly affecting the Marmara region which includes the cities of Tekirdag and Istanbul, then there are reports of dried-up lakes and generally very low water levels in reservoirs. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 09, 2025 n°: 6074 World capitals struggling with water scarcity Climate change is rapidly depleting the water reserves of many world capitals, for example in Athens in Greece it is believed that water will only be sufficient for one year due to prolonged drought and increased consumption and in the future it will be necessary to build desalination plants; meanwhile in Tehran in Iran some have discussed moving the capital because of the critical issues caused by the region's water scarcity. In Indonesia satellite images have reportedly shown that the area chosen to host the future new capital has limited water resources; moreover, there is controversy in the country over deforestation plans decided by the authorities, which risk depleting the area of water. To report on a different topic but still related to natural issues a large uncontrolled wildfire is raging in Canada, in Nova Scotia (Lake George wilfire in Kings County) under dry and windy conditions. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 07, 2025 n°: 6072 Bad weather with heavy storms in Sicily The remnants of the strong vortex that previously affected Spain and the Balearic Islands have caused heavy storms in Sicily, there is a report of a missing person in Favara in the province of Agrigento (a woman who, while trying to get out of her car was swept away by the force of the water on a street that had turned into a rushing stream); then people were trapped in their flooded homes. According to weather forecasts the vortex is moving towards Greece and heavy rainfall is expected, in a country already affected by severe drought with reserves for Athens reduced to a minimum. To report shifting the focus to Ukraine that nine people have died due to a wave of bad weather with heavy rains that caused flooding in the Odessa province, forcing rescuers to carry out many emergency rescues for people in distress. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 02, 2025 n°: 6068 A storm lashes Vietnam There are at least nineteen victims, thirteen missing, and eighty-two injured due to the passage of the storm called "Bualoi" accompanied by tunderstorms, strong winds, storm surges (with one ship lost), floods and landslides; is speak of a trail of destruction with over one hundred thousand damaged houses or roofs blown off, with Ha Tinh province particularly affected, followed by Nghe An. Nine thousand four hundred hectares of rice crops and one thousand eight hundred hectares of aquaculture were destroyed, and many structures along the coasts were eroded. Numerous roads are impassable due to landslides, in addition to uprooted trees and heavy rainfall still affecting provinces in the north-central part of the country. To report shifting the attention to Spain, floods caused by heavy rains have been reported, sometimes in the same areas that were hit by disastrous floods last year. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Set 30, 2025 n°: 6066 Still bad weather in Italy with damages and inconveniences A wave of bad weather characterized by heavy rainfall and sometimes hail has affected some regions of Italy shortly after the last extreme phenomenon that struck the peninsula. There are talks of requesting a state of emergency for the Piedmont and Liguria regions, with roads sometimes impassable. In Lombardy the province of Como has been particularly affected with for example dozens of evacuees in Brevio due to a landslide. Damages in Veneto with flooding and inundated activities, and in Piedmont hailstorms have damaged vineyards and the body of a missing tourist was found who was previously swept away by the flood of a stream at a campsite while trying to save her dog. On the island of Ischia some schools are still closed due to the recent violent downpour and in the Campania region there have been cases of flooded little towns after hours of intense rainfall. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 25, 2025 n°: 6062 Bad weather with flooding in some regions in Italy A disturbance characterized by heavy rainfall and downpours has affected some regions in Italy, with reports of a missing woman with her dog in the province of Alessandria in Piedmont region carried away by the overflowing of a stream that is a tributary of the Bormida river; then floods in Lombardy with entire neighborhoods of Milan flooded after the rapid filling of expansion basins, particularly affected by the flooding is the town of Meda where water pumps cannot even be used due to a power outage. In Liguria region some areas have been hit by heavy rains resulting in flooding, and then in Tuscany there was a waterspout in Versilia. A cold front coming from northern Europe met the much warmer air with temperatures above the average for the northern regions and the warm Mediterranean Sea favored the extreme weather phenomenon. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Set 23, 2025 n°: 6060 Protection of marine biodiversity in the high seas After the adhesion of Morocco and Sierra Leone, it has been possible to reach the threshold of sixty ratifications of a treaty that provides for the protection of marine biodiversity in the high seas and is expected to become law in 2026. According to environmentalists achieving these protection goals for biodiversity areas in oceans around the world going beyond the exclusive economic zones as defined by various countries is crucial for the safeguarding of marine ecosystems. It is estimated that half of the world's oxygen is produced by the oceans and is therefore essential for facing climate change thanks to an ecosystem made up of aquatic plants and marine creatures threatened by pollution, overfishing, and mineral resources on the seabed. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Set 20, 2025 n°: 6058 Ambience and Nature  ... ^ 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
