Many animals and plants are losing their genetic diversity, making them more vulnerable
A study reveals that two-thirds of animal and plant populations are losing genetic diversity, hindering their ability to adapt to environmental changes. The decline affects even non-endangered species, with significant losses in birds and mammals. Conservation efforts, such as connecting isolated populations, can help restore genetic diversity and improve species survival, as demonstrated by the recovery of Florida panthers.

Potential presence of primitive lunar mantle materials on Chandrayaan-3 landing site: Study
Chandrayaan-3's landing site revealed high sulphur levels, suggesting presence of primitive lunar mantle materials from the South Pole-Aitken basin's formation 4.3 billion years ago, offering insights into early lunar evolution and composition.
