@mongabay.com California #condors are nesting in the Pacific Northwest for the first time in a century. A pair reintroduced by the #YurokTribe, to whom the bird is sacred, appears to be incubating an egg in an old-growth redwood. The species crashed to 22 birds in 1982 and now numbers 607.

@ecoportal.bsky.social 🇨🇱 A Chilean #salmon farm now draws about 57% of its power from #panels laid over the water, cutting roughly 136,000 litres of diesel a year and silencing the generators. With the noise gone, thousands of salmon have gathered in the shade beneath the arrays.🐟

The French government is banning all advertising for imported #FossilFuels. It plans to issue a decree, by year’s end, banning all advertising for imported oil and gas, activating a 2021 climate law that has sat unused for five years. It's part of a 22-point plan to cut dependence on fossil fuels.

Switzerland has bolted 5,000 #solar panels to an Alpine dam, where they work best in winter. The #AlpinSolar plant on the Muttsee dam, sits at 2,500m (8200 ft). It generates roughly half its power in the winter, around x3 what a lowland solar farm manages, when the rest of the country runs short.

🇧🇷 Rio’s #humpbacks are rebounding in South America now that they’re no longer faced with harpoons. Since commercial whaling paused in the 1980s, the South Atlantic humpback population has resurged from around 2K to 35k near pre-whaling levels, with the giants surfacing in Guanabara Bay each winter.

@ember-energy.org #Solar has become the 🇪🇺 EU’s single biggest source of electricity. It generated 1/4 of the bloc’s electricity in June 2026, more than #wind, #fossil gas, #coal or #nuclear, while heat waves drove up AC demand. In June, Spain pulled 34% of its electricity. Germany even more, at 36%.
