A recent webinar gathered banana value chain experts to discuss the critical role of genetic diversity beyond Cavendish. Varietal diversification builds resilient, sustainable production and market systems, reducing vulnerability to pests, diseases, climate, and market shocks. Non-Cavendish varieties offer significant agronomic, nutritional, and cultural value, enhancing food security and biodiversity.

The event highlighted barriers like Cavendish-based market standards and insufficient incentives. It underscored the need for coordinated efforts, improved market recognition, and shared learning to promote banana diversification and ensure the global sector's long-term resilience. Organizers included Victor Prada, Matheus Lima, and Adriele Benedetto. More information: FAO TR4GN and World Banana Forum.

Dive into the mysterious world of deep-sea sharks, one of the ocean's least understood groups. With over 500 species thriving in darkness, these incredible animals have evolved unique adaptations like glowing eyes and light-producing abilities. From the long-lived Greenland shark to newly discovered species, much about their hidden lives remains unknown.

Through the Common Oceans Deep Sea Fisheries Project, scientists, fishers, and fisheries management organizations are collaborating. Their collective efforts aim to uncover the secrets of these deep-sea creatures and ensure their protection for future generations.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game plans to kill bears to save the struggling Mulchatna caribou herd, which has plummeted from 200,000 to 16,000. However, scientists and conservation groups, including the Center for Biological Diversity, contend this program lacks scientific support. Courts have already ruled against the initiative.

Independent experts identify disease and food scarcity, exacerbated by climate change, as the primary drivers of the caribou's decline, not bear predation. They assert that killing bears will not achieve long-term recovery. Wildlife management should prioritize science, sustainability, and ecosystem protection over scapegoating.

Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), a highly contagious disease affecting sheep and goats, has long threatened rural livelihoods in Afghanistan. Outbreaks cause high mortality, devastating families

Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), a highly contagious disease affecting sheep and goats, has long threatened rural livelihoods in Afghanistan. Outbreaks cause high mortality, devastating families reliant on livestock for food and income, especially amidst compounding climate and economic shocks.

From 2024 to 2025, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), supported by the Asian Development Bank and the United Kingdom, led a nationwide vaccination campaign. This effort reached over 9 million animals across more than 780,000 families.

This concerted initiative has brought Afghanistan close to eliminating PPR, strengthening food security, improving nutrition, and building resilience among livestock-keeping communities.
