The outermost layer of the Earth is known as the Earth’s crust, a layer that’s responsible for the majority of life on Earth. It supports the growth of plants, the survival of animals, the structure of our land, and the development of human civilisation. The Earth’s crust is made of four major components known as […]

THRIVE explores the dynamics of wolf extinction and reintroducing wolves, analysing political, social, and ecological factors. These factors have influenced current wolf populations (Meadows, 2008; Robbins, 2012). Henceforth, THRIVE provides an in-depth examination of the political ecology surrounding these efforts. We discuss historical contexts, indigenous communities, and the implications of wolf reintroduction. We also consider

Investing in water infrastructure has a multitude of benefits. It is critical for promoting public health, progressing economically and conserving the environment. Investments made in the water sector curb the spread of illnesses and save millions of lives. Water pollution due to unsafe waste management puts aqua ecosystems and the environment under threat. “Water is

Biotechnology, as its name suggests, is biology-based technology. It makes use of cellular and biomolecular processes to create goods and techniques. That’s used to improve business operations, our quality of life, and the existence of a healthy environment. The employment of these biological processes by mankind is by no means new (National Academy of Sciences).

Human civilisation and agriculture are in sync. Agriculture is the process by which humans grow, process and procure plants. This started at the very beginning of human civilisation (Orsini & D’Ostuni, 2022). However, the rapid restructuring of the agricultural landscape, a decrease in soil fertility, loss of biodiversity (leading to alterations of biogeochemical cycles), pest

Recently we completed a research paper that takes a look at seafood companies. It looks at the way they operate in relation to their impact on sustainability. It’s called “Seafood Stewardship Index: Evaluating the Strategies and Sustainability Performance of Keystone Actors in the Seafood Industry.” The findings were quite informative. Seafood Stewardship Index: The Context

Batteries are regarded as the core of electric vehicle (EV) technology. Unlike conventional car technology, EVs completely rely on batteries to deliver power (Hannan et al., 2021). In line with this, lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology is leading to a completely new and distinctive energy storage and application paradigm. LIBs have distinguished themselves as an essential

Decades of linear consumption habituate consumerism, valuing raw material products, causing waste in landfills and oceans (Anghel & Hristea, 2018). Unfortunately, in this prevailing fashion of overconsumption, the emphasis is on a push for purchasing products, often disregarding their long-term sustainability. Consequently, the discarded waste ends up polluting our precious land and marine ecosystems, posing

The term ‘biofuel‘ is a type of fuel that is derived immediately from living matter (like corn ethanol). Biofuels are useful, sustainable resources that make a good alternative to fossil fuels (like petroleum). Historically, they have been manufactured from food crops, e.g., corn, sugarcane, palm oil, cottonseed, sunflowers, wheat and soybeans. Biofuels are carbon neutral

All forms of life require water, and simple and effective solar-powered desalination is the key. Water covers approximately 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface, yet the accessible traditional freshwater resources, including lakes, ponds, and creeks account for less than 0.3% of the total (Li et al., 2021). Projections suggest the global population will reach
