Critical Mineral Strategy: Is It Sustainable?

|

Critical minerals are minerals and metals that are essential for the economic growth and national security of a country (IEA, n.d.). Globally, the demand for critical minerals, especially rare metals, has been driven by the production and consumption of highly technical devices for personal, commercial, and industrial uses. Lately, they are an essential raw material […]

Understanding CO2 Emissions: A Comparative Analysis Across Countries

|

What are CO2 emissions and why do they matter Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a trace gas present in Earth’s atmosphere and one of the main greenhouse gases (GHGs) (NASA, 2025). Through absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation, GHGs help to maintain our planet’s temperature within habitable limits. Keeping CO2 levels within natural limits (the levels of

Why Carbon Sequestration in Forests must be Conserved

|

What Is Carbon Sequestration? Carbon sequestration refers to the decarbonisation technique that captures and stores carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) from the environment to mitigate climate change. This can occur naturally through forests, soils, and oceans or through technological solutions like carbon capture and storage (CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC). During photosynthesis, trees absorb COâ‚‚ from

Bees, Food, & Future: How Declining Pollinators Threaten Global Nutrition

|

Why Bees Matter: Pollinators and Global Food Security Life on Earth as we know it is dependent on pollination (USDA, 2025). Without short-range pollinators, such as bees, we would not have crops, flowers, or food. The work pollinators do is extremely underrated and underappreciated. They are keystone species, meaning that without pollinators, ecosystems would collapse,

CRISPR-Cas9 and the Future: Unlocking the Power of Gene Editing Across Fields

|

What Is CRISPR-Cas9? CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) consists of repeating DNA sequences in bacteria. CRISPR-Cas9 functions like a molecular pair of scissors guided by a Global Positioning System (GPS). These repeats store snippets of viruses that previously attacked the bacteria, acting like a memory to recognise viruses later (Martín-Valmaseda et al., 2023).

Ocelots: The Night-time Battle for Survival

|

Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) are small- to medium-sized felines found from the south of North America down through South America, extending to islands off the coast (ISEC, 2025). Ocelots are listed as endangered in North America, with population sizes unknown across parts of their range. They are prized for their coats, which feature a unique spotted

Contaminated Waters with Cryptosporidium: a Barrier to Safe Aquatic Life and Public Health

|

Understanding Cryptosporidium: A Stealthy Waterborne Threat Cryptosporidium remains a hidden yet dangerous waterborne pathogen. It easily spreads through contaminated water sources (Akinnubi, 2024). Once ingested, it causes cryptosporidiosis, a severe gastrointestinal illness (Siwak et al., 2023). Additionally, Cryptosporidium infects both humans and animals, increasing zoonotic transmission risks (Mpindou et al., 2021). Its small oocysts resist

Impacts of Ocean Acidification: A Growing Threat to Marine Life and Biodiversity

|

Introduction The rising level of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has disastrous effects on the climate and Earth’s largest ecosystem, the ocean. 30% of current carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere are absorbed by the oceans (Shadwick et al., 2023). Thus, substantially moderates the effects of climate change globally. However, it causes a
