The #Trump admin proposed a rule change that would prohibit only actions that directly hurt or kill actual animals, not the #habitats they rely on. If finalized, the change could make it easier to #log, #mine & build on #lands that #EndangeredSpecies need to thrive.

"#Habitat loss is the biggest single cause of #extinction & endangered species—it makes sense to address it,"Ctr for Biological Diversity govt affairs dir Brett Hartl said. He called efforts to deny that cause "callous & reckless."

Geyersche Binge im Laternenschein
🇩🇪 Seit 1395/1400 fand am Geyersberg vor allem der Abbau von Zinn, Silber und Kupfer statt. 1704 und 1803 kam es zu zwei Zusammenbrüche des Bergwerks, woraufhin dieses geschlossen wurde.
Die Binge ist stellenweise bis zu 60 Meter tief und wurde hier von einer Anhöhe aus Richtung Süden fotografiert.

🇬🇧 Since 1395/1400, tin, silver and copper have been mined at Geyersberg. In 1704 and 1803, the mine collapsed twice and was subsequently closed.
The binge is up to 60 metres deep in places and was photographed here from a hill to the south.

DE: Nächtlicher Blick auf einen großen zerklüfteten Granitbrocken, der als Art Mahnmal aus einem Kessel herausguckt. Von Westen bescheinen Straßenlaternen die Felswand, im Osten beleuchtet der bedeckte Vollmond die Umgebung. Kilometerweit im Hintergrund sind weitere Berge und Orte des Erzgebirges zu entdecken. Durch die fast 4,5 Minuten Belichtung sind die Stern zu Spuren und Wolken zu einer diffusen Fläche verwandelt. EN: Night-time view of a large, jagged chunk of granite peeking out of a cauldron as a kind of memorial. Streetlights illuminate the rock face from the west, while the overcast full moon lights up the surroundings in the east. Further mountains and towns in the Ore Mountains can be seen for kilometres in the background. The almost 4.5-minute exposure has turned the stars into trails and the clouds into a diffuse surface.

Today In Labor History April 8, 1864: The 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, banning chattel slavery. However, it permitted a continuation of wage slavery and the forced labor of convicts without pay. And on this date in 1911, 128 convict miners, mostly African-Americans jailed for minor offenses, were killed by a massive explosion at the Banner coalmine near Birmingham, Alabama. While the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, which occurred just two weeks earlier, elicited massive public attention and support for the plight of immigrant women working in sweatshop conditions, the Banner explosion garnered almost no public sympathy, probably due to racism and the fact that they were prisoners.

Dans la ville de #Kabwe les enfants souffrent de graves problèmes de santé dus à l’intoxication au plomb, liée à l’extrême #pollution provoquée par les déchets de plomb toxique d’une ancienne #mine hrw.org/fr/news/2025/03/05/zam

Cette image prise à partir d'une vidéo le 19 février 2025 montre la trajectoire des déchets miniers dans la rivière Mwambashi, un affluent de la rivière Kafue, en Zambie.
Des camions circulaient sur un site de déchets d’une ancienne mine de plomb et de zinc à Kabwe, en Zambie, surnommé « Black Mountain » (« Montagne noire ») par les habitants. Ce site est exploité par l’entreprise zambienne Enviro Processing Limited (EPL), détentrice d’une licence pour l’extraction minière de déchets contenant encore des fragments de plomb.

A first look at the #underground visit to the Sanford Underground Research Facility. We arrived early in the morning to gear up and then catch a 07:30 cage (elevator) to the 4850ft level. We then rode a tram on a rail line from the Yates Shaft and the “Davis Campus” of the lab over to the “Ross Campus”, where the DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) will be constructed.

A river ‘died’ overnight in #Zambia after an acidic waste spill at a #Chinese-owned #mine

By RICHARD KILLE and JACOB ZIMBA
March 15, 2025

KITWE, Zambia (AP) — "Authorities and environmentalists in Zambia fear the long-term impact of an acid spill at a Chinese-owned mine that contaminated a major river and could potentially affect millions of people after signs of #pollution were detected at least 100 kilometers (60 miles) downstream.

"The spill happened on Feb. 18 when a tailings dam that holds acidic waste from a #CopperMine in the north of the country collapsed, according to investigators from the Engineering Institution of Zambia.

"The collapse allowed some 50 million liters of waste containing concentrated acid, dissolved solids and heavy metals to flow into a stream that links to the #KafueRiver, Zambia’s most important waterway, the engineering institution said.

"'It is an #environmental disaster really of catastrophic consequences,' said Chilekwa Mumba, an environmental activist who works in Zambia’s Copperbelt Province."
