길기트-발티스탄의 꿈에 대한 기후 변화의 영향 공개

카라코람 산맥의 중심부에 위치한 목가적인 마을인 길기트-발티스탄의 스카르두는 풍경뿐만 아니라 주민들의 꿈도 재편하는 위기에 직면해 있습니다. 기후 변화는 광범위한 결과를 초래하며 이 외딴 지역의 삶의 구조를 바꾸고 있습니다.

미뤄진 꿈

26세의 사진작가 지망생인 모하마드 하산은 스카르두를 덮친 심각한 물 부족으로 인해 사진작가의 꿈을 접어야 했습니다. 그의 가족의 주 수입원이었던 밀 농사는 극심한 물 부족으로 인해 5자루에서 겨우 3자루로 줄었습니다. 이 끔찍한 상황은 그가 카라치에서 꿈을 쫓을 수 있도록 가족을 설득하는 것을 거의 불가능하게 만들었습니다.

하산을 비롯한 스카르두의 많은 사람들에게 기후 변화는 추상적인 개념이 아니라 생계와 열망에 영향을 미치는 가혹한 현실입니다.

계절 변화와 물 문제

스카르두의 유일한 수자원인 사드파라 댐은 보통 여름철에 빙하가 녹으면서 물을 공급받아 도시의 물, 전력, 관개 수요를 충족시킵니다. 하지만 올해는 비정상적인 기상 패턴으로 인해 빙하가 녹으면서 불규칙한 물의 흐름이 발생하여 시스템에 차질이 생겼습니다. 빙하가 녹는 시기가 늦어지고 여름이 길어지면서 물 공급이 감소했습니다.

카라코람 국제 대학교의 교수인 무하마드 라자 박사는 이러한 현상을 계절의 변화, 즉 '계절 이동'이라고 부릅니다. 이 지역에서는 봄, 여름, 가을, 겨울이 농작물 주기와 물 가용성을 결정하는 중요한 시기입니다. 그러나 계절이 바뀌면 섬세한 균형이 깨져 농업과 일상 생활에 영향을 미칩니다.

농작물 수확량 감소

생계와 소득 모두에 중요한 스카르두의 농업은 이러한 변화하는 패턴으로 인해 어려움을 겪고 있습니다. 토마토, 감자, 양배추 등의 농작물은 물 부족과 기온 변화로 인해 타들어갔습니다. 작물의 파종과 재배가 지연되어 농업 주기가 중단되고 식량 부족의 위협이 다가왔습니다.

스카르두 부청장 셰리야르 아프리디는 광활한 농지를 보유한 이 도시가 농작물 수확량이 급격히 감소했다고 설명합니다. 심지어 과일나무도 피해를 입었습니다.

물 공급이 도시의 수요를 충족시키지 못하면서 하루에 최대 22시간 동안 단수가 발생하여 계곡에 거주하는 12만 명의 삶에 영향을 미쳤습니다.

Non-contact exposure to dinotefuran disrupts honey bee homing by altering MagR and Cry2 gene expression

Non-contact exposure to dinotefuran disrupts honey bee homing by altering MagR and Cry2 gene expression Dinotefuran is known to negatively affect honeybee ( Apis mellifera ) behavior, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The magnetoreceptor ( MagR , which responds to magnetic fields) and cryptochrome ( Cry2 , which is sensitive to light) genes are considered to play important roles in honey bees’ homing and localization behaviors. Our study found that dinotefuran, even without direct contact, can act like a magnet, significantly altering MagR expression in honeybees. This non-contact exposure reduced the bees’ homing rate. In further experiments, we exposed foragers to light and magnetic fields, the MagR gene responded to magnetic fields only in the presence of light, with Cry 2 playing a key switching role in the magnetic field receptor mechanism ( MagR–Cry2 ). Yeast two-hybrid and BiFc assays confirmed an interactio...

“Global honey crisis”: Testing technology and local sourcing soars amid fraud and tampering concerns

“Global honey crisis”: Testing technology and local sourcing soars amid fraud and tampering concerns The World Beekeeping Awards will not grant a prize for honey next year due to the “inability” to thoroughly test honey for adulteration. The announcement comes amid the rise of honey fraud in the EU, where a 2023 investigation found that 46% of 147 honey samples tested were likely contaminated with low-cost plant syrups. Apimondia, the International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations, organizes the event at its Congress, whose 49th edition will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in September 2025. The conference brings together beekeepers, scientists and other stakeholders. “We will celebrate honey in many ways at the Congress, but honey will no longer be a category, and thus, there will be no honey judging in the World Beekeeping Awards. The lessons learned from Canada 2019 and Chile 2023 were that adequate testing was impossible if we are to award winning honey at the Con...

New Report – Interlocked: Midwives and the Climate Crisis

New Report – Interlocked: Midwives and the Climate Crisis Earlier this year, midwives from 41 countries shared their experiences of working in communities affected by climate change through our survey, Midwives’ Experiences and Perspectives on Climate Change. Their voices shaped our new report, Interlocked: Midwives and the Climate Crisis , which highlights how midwives are already responding to the health impacts of climate disasters like floods, wildfires, and extreme heat—and why they must be included in climate action plans. What did we learn?Climate change is damaging community health: 75% of midwives reported that climate change is harming the communities they serve, with rising rates of preterm births, food insecurity, and restricted access to care during disasters like floods. Midwives are critical first responders: Midwives are often the first and only healthcare providers on the ground in crises, delivering care during wildfires, floods, and extreme heat. Midwives face signi...

Bee attack claims life of newspaper distributor

Bee attack claims life of newspaper distributor Newspaper distributor Pushparaja Shetty (45), who sustained severe injuries in a bee attack, succumbed to his injuries on Thursday at a hospital in Mangaluru. Pushparaja was attacked by a swarm of bees on Wednesday morning while walking at Kenjaru Taangadi under Bajpe town panchayat limits. He was immediately admitted to a hospital for treatment but could not survive the ordeal. Fondly known as ‘Boggu’ in the Porkodi area, Pushparaja was well-known for his dedication to delivering newspapers on foot to every household. He was admired for his generosity, as he often distributed sweets to schoolchildren on Independence Day using his own earnings and contributed part of his income to the betterment of society. Pushparaja was unmarried and is survived by three brothers and one sister.

Start the New Year Humming Like a Bee

Start the New Year Humming Like a Bee There are lots of opportunities to be as busy as a bee during these winter holidays. As we hustle toward the dawn of the New Year, it can be hard to notice that the natural world is actually suggesting something different for us right now. We’re past the solstice, but the winter still stretches ahead, the days are still short and the nights long. We’re being invited into a quieter, more inner-focused time. The ancient yogis were all about this inner focus. In India, for example, the Upanishads, the Sanskrit writings that accompanied the development of Hinduism — and alongside it, yoga — beginning around 800 B.C.E., went deeper than earlier texts had into philosophy and questions of being. With the goals of increased inner awareness and higher consciousness, yoga was at that time not yet as focused on the body or on asanas, as it now can tend to be. But the yogis did develop many practices to try to open the way to those goals. They discovered...

The largest “killer hornets” in the world were exterminated in the US

The largest “killer hornets” in the world were exterminated in the US The US informed that it had exterminated the worldʼs largest hornets, nicknamed "killer hornets" — they are capable of occupying a hive of honey bees in just 90 minutes, decapitating all its inhabitants and feeding their offspring to their own. This was reported by the Department of Agriculture in Washington. The hornets, which can reach five centimeters in length, were previously called Asian giant hornets, but in 2019 they were also spotted in Washington state near the Canadian border. In China, these insects killed 42 people and seriously injured 1,675. A dead northern giant hornet (below) next to a native bald hornet. According to experts, the hornets could have entered North America in plant pots or shipping containers. The hornet can sting through most beekeeper suits because it produces nearly seven times more venom than a honeybee and stings multiple times. Thatʼs why the Washington Departme...

They gather together to learn the process and safety procedures of making honey from scratch with locally-sourced honey bees. In class, students research pollination, foods that contain honey, where to purchase hive equipment, types of bees, etc., according to N...

The Unexpected Surge: America's Honeybees Buzz Back to Record Numbers

The Unexpected Surge: America's Honeybees Buzz Back to Record Numbers In an age where environmental narratives often lean towards loss and decline, the story of the American honeybee offers a glimmer of hope and a puzzle to solve. Recent data from the Census of Agriculture reveals an astonishing rebound in the honeybee population, now soaring to an all-time high of 3.8 million colonies. This revelation comes as a surprise against the backdrop of two decades marked by fears of colony collapse and the potential ramifications for ecosystems and agriculture. The surge in bee populations brings to light a series of questions and insights into the intertwined worlds of agriculture, conservation, and legislation. Central to this narrative is the state of Texas, where legislative changes have catalyzed a beekeeping boom by offering agricultural tax breaks to landowners cultivating honeybees. This policy shift, coupled with the entrepreneurial spirit of Texans and the essential role of bees...
