Global wildlife trafficking: Endangered felines found in Paris apartments 3:13

for 1 day siden3:13

3:13

Wildlife trafficking is one of the most profitable criminal activities in the world, after drug trafficking, human trafficking and arms smuggling. At the end of last year, an international operation uncovered 20,000 live, wild animals, including reptiles, felines, turtles and monkeys. Some 365 people were arrested in connection with six different illegal networks. Here in France, French authorities recently found endangered felines in Parisian apartments, far from their natural habitats. Some of them are now being cared for at an animal shelter in Nogent-le-Phaye, south of Paris.…

Turning unrecyclable trash into heat: French district leads the way 2:34

2:34

In northern France, an entire district is now heated thanks to waste that was previously unrecyclable. Every day, Le Havre converts 300 tons of trash into energy, providing enough heat for more than 37,000 households. This green energy system reduces the local carbon footprint and provides cheaper and cleaner heating to residents. We take a closer look.…

5:11

Jeans are the most popular trousers in the world. Every year, over 2 billion pairs are made. But most travel one and a half times around the planet before reaching your wardrobe. With toxic dyes, chemical pollution and massive water waste, denim’s carbon footprint is anything but small. But change is happening. From cutting-edge tech to natural dyes, ancient weaving to local production, innovators are rethinking jeans for a more sustainable future. The Down to Earth team takes a closer look.…

For the first time ever, fishermen in the Bay of Biscay are testing new high tech fishing gear that "speak dolphin language" to warn them of danger.

Celebrated as a superfood, avocados are so popular in Europe and North America that global production has tripled in two decades.

Could dead leaves turn into green gold? 4:20

for 9 weeks siden4:20

4:20

Imagine a world where we could make paper, cardboard and packaging without cutting down a single tree. Today, that dream is becoming reality. The start-up Releaf Paper turns fallen leaves into value. It was founded by a Ukrainian scientist, who moved to France before Russia's full-scale invasion to set up a pilot factory in the suburbs of Paris. Production only started a few months ago, with promises of greener goods and a circular economy. FRANCE 24's Aurore Cloé Dupuis, Alexandra Renard and Jonathan Walsh report.…

But here in France, the company Bat'Ipac has found an alternative: building with recycled cardboard instead of concrete. FRANCE 24's Alexandra Renard and Aurore Cloé Dupuis report.…

'We're keeping them safe': Scientists build 'Noah's Ark' for endangered corals 3:32

3:32

Coral reefs rank as some of the planet’s most vital ecosystems. Although they cover just 0.2 percent of oceans, reefs are home to a quarter of marine biodiversity. Scientists warn they could vanish in as little as a decade, unless we rapidly slow the rate of global warming. In Monaco, a team of scientists have decided to create a "Noah's Ark" for coral reefs, hoping to collect and preserve all species known to humankind before it's too late.

One year after France’s northern Pas-de-Calais region was hit by record floods, victims are still recovering from the disaster. FRANCE 24 visited the town of Blendecques, where an entire neighbourhood is set to be demolished and transformed into a stormwater basin to prevent future flooding.

Hatching of baby turtles in south of France puzzles scientists 4:58

for 24 weeks siden4:58

4:58

Turtles have inhabited our oceans for over 150 million years, ever since dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Yet today, six out of seven living species are considered endangered. They usually live in tropical waters. However, since the late 2000s, one species – the loggerhead sea turtle – has been coming to lay its eggs in the south of France. Scientists believe that this unprecedented phenomenon could be linked to rising global temperatures. The Down to Earth team reports.…

'They see with their noses': Detector dogs trained to sniff out water leaks 4:31

From crop failures to shrinking lakes, Europe is increasingly suffering from a lack of water. According to the European Environment Agency, around 30 percent of the continent's population is already affected by shortages. Preventing water leaks has become a priority for many cities. In France, a special dog brigade has been trained to locate leaky pipes. As the dogs are able to detect chlorine, they can pinpoint leaks quickly and efficiently. Our team at Down to Earth reports.…

A Swiss NGO wants to protect both sheep and wolves. Its plan? Scaring off the predator 4:53

for 28 weeks siden4:53

4:53

Can man and wolves coexist? Several European countries are grappling with this question, as wolves naturally regain ground across the continent. Switzerland is the latest country that's having to adapt to their return. Wolves were first spotted there in 2012, with their numbers tripling to reach at least 300. Shepherds have since had to face growing attacks, but one NGO has made it its mission to reconcile sheep and wolves, offering a unique service to help. Our Down to Earth team reports.…
