Gold miners breached 14 hectares of Indonesia's orangutan refuge in three years; conservationists want government to intervene

The Jantho forest reservation in Indonesia, vital for orangutan rehabilitation, is under siege from illegal gold miners. This encroachment places the habitat of critically endangered Sumatran orangutans, rescued from illegal trade, at severe risk. Mining activities have already destroyed approximately fourteen hectares, while toxic runoff threatens the surrounding Krueng Aceh River, endangering both community health and wildlife.

In 2023, Princeton researchers tested radiative cooling, keeping a building 3.9°C cooler

Researchers tested a building's ability to stay cooler than outside air naturally. A special roof released heat towards the sky, while airflow moved air through openings. This passive system kept the test box significantly cooler than the prevailing outdoor temperature. The experiment demonstrated radiative cooling working with thermal mass and temperature-driven ventilation. This approach offers a way to cool buildings without mechanical systems.
