Human rights groups are urging the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil to take action against Mano Palm Oil Industries in Liberia, citing land grabs, labor abuses, and environmental harm. Critics say RSPO’s failure to enforce its standards undermines its credibility and allows exploitation to persist.

A study by the University of Cape Town found that certain exotic plants increase the risk of urban wildfires. The research, conducted after the 2021 Table Mountain fire, revealed that plants with thin leaves and large surface areas burn more quickly, while those with thicker leaves burn longer. Researchers urge cities to use native species with lower flammability to reduce fire risks. The full study will be published in the South African Journal of Botany.

South African scientists have launched the Rhisotope Project, injecting rhino horns with radioactive material to help detect poached horns. The initiative, developed by Wits University in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency, aims to combat the rising poaching rates in South Africa, where over 400 rhinos are killed annually. While not a final solution, the project is seen as a valuable tool to disrupt illegal trade and track smuggling networks. The horns are often sold in Asian markets for use in traditional medicine and as status symbols.
