Floods in northern Nigeria At least one hundred and eleven are believed to be the victims of floods that affected a large market in northern Nigeria where farmers sell their products to buyers from the south overwhelmed by torrents of water fueled by torrential rainfall. In the flooded neighborhoods the roofs of houses can be seen submerged by a kind of brown lake while residents tried to bring help also attempting to recover goods. There are reports of a country affected by climate change with prolonged periods of drought followed by heavy rains, particularly intense during the wet season. To report changing the subject but remaining on environmental issues that there is concern in Europe about the trend of rapid depletion of water supplies and how it is necessary to set a target for efficiency and reduce consumption by ten percent and increase water recycling. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 31, 2025

 Various uncontrollable wildfires in Canada Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes in areas north of Saskatchewan province in Canada due to uncontrollable wildfires, marking one of the most serious situations ever seen or perhaps even the worse with a state of emergency declared. The situation regarding the wildfires in the Prairie provinces is difficult with two cases of a state of emergency. In Alberta there is concern about a remote area in the north with a high potential for the flames to quickly consume vegetation and evacuations have already been ordered overnight due to intense heat and strong winds. In Manitoba already previously affected by devastating wildfires evacuations could involve about seventeen thousand people as the fires intensify, marking one of the largest evacuation operations of this kind since 1997. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 30, 2025

To report shifting the focus to Italy that weather forecasts announce a probable heatwave with temperatures in the South that could exceed thirty-five degrees Celsius, following a period of intense rainy precipitation and sometimes hailstorms (particularly in the North) that have damaged crops, and often farmers complain that they no longer know what to plant due to erratic precipitation which is quite harmful for example for corn. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 29, 2025

A nickel mine is devouring the forest in Indonesia To produce electric vehicles, steel, and numerous industrial products nickel is necessary and a mine to extract this metal in Indonesia, considered the largest in the world, would be consuming the jungle of Halmahera where the indigenous tribe Hongana Manyawa lives, threatening a community of about three thousand five hundred people. It is a rural and unspoiled environment two thousand four hundred kilometers from the capital Jakarta, and those who live there do not know how to survive without it, but now extraction activities threaten the population using explosives and heavy machinery, while helicopters fly over the area. To report shifting focus to Australia that there are complaints from the residents of small Pacific Islands about the decision to extend for forty years the permits to continue using a large facility to extract liquefied gas and oil. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 28, 2025

Impact of invasive species under study It is estimated that the impact regarding the costs of invasive species to the territory is seventeen times higher than previously estimated, a huge sum that weighs on the budgets of societies, at least according to a study conducted considering data from 1960 related to non-native plant species and animals that harm agriculture, insects that spread diseases and lead to the extinction of other species. For example wild boars destroy crops and insects that are increasingly spreading due to climate warming transmit diseases such as dengue and malaria with costs that fall directly on health systems and on families who must face these health issues. It seems that plants are the most economically burdensome group in terms of damage and eradicating an invasive species is indeed very difficult. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 27, 2025

Reports speak of intense heat with temperatures exceeding forty-five degrees Celsius that would have favored the conditions for the formation of such a violent windstorm, while weather forecasts announce possible further storms. It is noteworthy that shifting attention to other scenarios a record heat has been reached in the United Arab Emirates for the month of May with temperatures exceeding fifty-one degrees Celsius and Egypt is facing a food and water crisis with difficulties in sustaining a population of one hundred and thirteen million inhabitants. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 26, 2025

Active hurricane season in Canada According to weather forecasts Canada could soon be affected by potential hurricanes although it is difficult to predict when these vortices will form over the ocean, however it is an active year and post-tropical storms are pushing further north so it is advisable to be prepared to face the ensuing bad weather. Meanwhile also in this country in Manitoba the community of Lac Du Bonnett is lamenting the devastation caused by a recent fire, with the area appearing unrecognizable completely covered in charred debris. Notably shifting attention to China there are two victims and nineteen people trapped due to a landslide that occurred in a rural area near Quingyang in the southwest province of Guizhou; there are also reports of power outages in the township of Guowa again due to the landslide. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 24, 2025

Records losses in areas covered by tropical forests It is estimated that in 2024 trees equivalent to a figurative calculation of about eighteen football fields covered by tropical forests were lost every minute, obviously a huge area of six million seven hundred thousand hectares (about the size of Panama), with a record eighty percent higher than in 2023. The country at the top of this unhealthy ranking of forest loss is Brazil, a country that will host the next environmental change conference in November, facing problems dealing with fires in the Amazon affected by the worst drought ever recorded in the rainforest. A naturally humid ecosystem hardly burns and for the first time apparently fires are the leading cause of tropical forest loss; therefore it is necessary to plan interventions differently to adapt to the new environmental reality. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 23, 2025

A kind of avalanche of water in southeastern France At least three victims would be due to the storm that affected the southeast of France, reports from the affected areas describe a scene of significant destruction with vehicles swept away by rivers of water, mud, and debris. Over five hundred passengers of a high-speed train were forced in the middle of the night to exit the carriages. Some spoke of a kind of water avalanche caused by a violent and incomprehensible phenomenon that was self-sustaining, leading to interruptions in the supply of electricity, drinking water, and stalled sewage treatment facilities. Among the most affected locations are Vidauban and Tonneins, and to assist those in difficulty dozens of rescuers and volunteers have intervened; many houses have been flooded; rail traffic will remain suspended for several days between Agen and Marmande (with repercussions on Bordeaux and Toulouse) in the southwest of the country. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 21, 2024
