RSPCA Recommends Meaty Pet Food for Hedgehogs
x/royal-society-for-the-prevention-of-cruelty-to-animals
— Sep 17, 2026
Experts say you can attract hedgehogs to your garden this autumn by leaving out a small amount of tinned meaty cat or dog food (and crushed biscuits), while avoiding milk and bread; place it in shallow bowls and refresh daily. For bees and other beneficial insects, let fallen leaves and some dead stems remain through fall and winter to provide natural nesting and overwintering habitat, reducing the need for heavy autumn cleanup.

The PC hollow sunsheets provide impact resistance, light transmission, and thermal insulation to boost year-round yield while reducing winter energy use by two- to three-fold, especially in cold northern, hail-prone, and high-altitude regions.

Arctic Winter Sea Ice Decline Resumes After Pause
Environment
— Jul 20, 2026
New studies show that the Arctic winter sea ice slowdown seen in the early 2020s was temporary, with 2025 and 2026 winters posting record lows that restore a significant downward trend in winter ice extent. The 5.8% drop from 2024 to 2025 was the largest year-to-year decline on record, and researchers say the recent data indicate winter ice loss is continuing and may accelerate again in the next decade due to ongoing global warming, despite the earlier pause being brought to an end by natural oceanic variations.
