A critically endangered black rhino calf was born in the wild in Kenya
In the spring, rangers first suspected a new eastern black rhino calf may have been born after seeing what appeared to be baby tracks behind a mother’s tracks — and their suspicions were confirmed.
Camera traps caught a glimpse of the mother and baby in a remote mountain range in southeastern Kenya. It’s the mother’s first calf, and researchers believe it’s about six months old. It brings the total number in the region to nine.
So far, rangers have observed that the calf is healthy and “acting like you would think a cute little baby rhino would,” though they cautioned that young rhino calves are still “very vulnerable” to natural and human-caused dangers.
Why is this good news? Eastern black rhinos are critically endangered, and this particular birth happened in a tiny subgroup, the Chyulu population, which is of “critical value” to rhino conservation because of its genetic independence — bringing it back could strengthen the entire black rhino gene pool.
An analysis found that China’s emissions have been flat or falling for the past 18 months
China is the world’s largest polluter, but a new analysis found that it may have hit hits target for peak carbon dioxide emissions well ahead of schedule. Its emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months.
Rapid deployment of solar and wind power generation led the country’s energy sector emissions to remain flat, even while demand for electricity increased.
In the first nine months of 2025, China added 240 gigawatts of solar capacity and 61 gigawatts of wind capacity — putting it on track for yet another record year. Last year alone, it installed 333 gigawatts of solar power, which was more than the rest of the world combined.
