Noise pollution, an often overlooked form of environmental degradation, poses significant threats to wildlife and their natural habitats.
Earth's oceans and coastal ecosystems are a major sink for carbon storage, known as blue carbon. Sequestration of carbon is vitally important in the fight against climate change as it 'locks away' this molecule, alleviating pressure on greenhouse gas-induced warming.

However, anthropogenic activities are threatening their survival, posing a risk of...

The figure increased by nearly 12...
Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have warned that 99 per cent of birds could be wiped out by 2100, if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at the current levels.
