Imagine getting a text message from an elephant. What would it say? Perhaps, “Stop calling me Dumbo, and, no, I can’t fly.”? Well, it appears that we might find out pretty soon.
In the last two years alone, the Kenyan Wildlife Service has killed five African elephants from the Ol Pejeta Conservancy because they were trampling through human settlements and cropland. It’s a problem that will only get worse as humans encroach on elephant’s territory.

European soils that have long been sniffed out by pigs in search of a fantastically expensive fungus are starting to lie still as an invasive breed takes over the continent. This dangerous threat? The Chinese black truffle, which is chasing the delicacy of the perigord black out of Europe and replacing it with an almost identical, but tasteless, fungus.
It would be great if biofuels provided a magic method for us to combat carbon emissions without changing our lifestyles, but sadly they don’t.
