  • Fade to grey: as forests are cut down, butterflies are losing their colours

    The insects’ brilliant hues evolved in lush ecosystems to help them survive. Now they are becoming more muted to adapt to degraded landscapes – and they are not the only things dulling down

    • Photographs by Roberto García-Roa

    The world is becoming less colourful. For butterflies, bold and bright wings once meant survival, helping them attract mates and hide from prey. But a new research project suggests that as humans replace rich tropical forests with monochrome, the colour of other creatures is leaching away.

    “The colours on a butterfly’s wings are not trivial – they have been designed over millions of years,” says researcher and photographer Roberto García-Roa, who is part of a project in Brazil documenting how habitat loss is bleaching the natural world of colour.

    Amiga arnaca found in a eucalyptus plantation, where scientists observed butterflies were less colourful than in native forests

  • Going extinct ‘right under our noses’: the quiet plight of Australia’s rarest bird of prey

    Restricted now to the tropical north, the mysterious red goshawk is fast disappearing as a result of climate change and habitat loss

    Setting up a base in the tallest tree, usually around a creek somewhere, the red goshawk will hunt beneath the canopy – chasing down speed demons such as the rainbow lorikeet and plucking them out of the air.

    The soft thrum of their deep, powerful, metre-wide wings can be heard from the ground as they accelerate, before they silently swoop and bank like some feathered fighter jet.

  • Weather tracker: Typhoon Matmo batters southern China

    About 350,000 flee homes as heavy rain and winds sweep region, while Hurricane Priscilla forms near Mexico

    Typhoon Matmo made landfall on the southern coast of China on Sunday afternoon, shortly after sweeping across the island province of Hainan. The powerful storm forced the evacuation of about 350,000 people, bringing torrential rain and damaging winds, especially between Wuchuan in Guangdong and Wenchang in Hainan. Ferry services were suspended and flights cancelled at Haikou Meilan airport.

    Matmo, the 21st typhoon of the year, had sustained wind speeds of 94mph (151km/h) and dumped more than 50mm of rainfall in six hours in Chongzou and Qinzhou. The city of Nanning also had high rainfall totals.

  • Country diary: Where the Herdwicks are the star of the show | Andrea Meanwell

    Eskdale, Lake District: In a traditional event that includes hound trials and wrestling, there’s also a ‘world champion’ title at stake

    The familiar clink of the metal hurdles as they open and close tells me I’m “home”: at a shepherds’ meet. Since 1866, on the last Saturday in September, the shepherds of the Lake District have met in Eskdale to celebrate local livestock, crafts and produce. That may sound old, but it started as an additional show to the May Tup Fair, which dates to the 1700s.

    I’m here representing one of the show sponsors, the National Trust, which provides the trophy and sash for the main prize – the world champion Herdwick sheep, the breed being native to this area. The trust owns more than 20,000 sheep in the Lake District, mainlyHerdwicks, and they are an important cultural collection. The sheep are hefted to the fells, where they live without boundaries and are taught the territories by their mothers. The permanence of a landlord’s flock of sheep ensures continued management of the farms, and makes it easier to take on a farm without having to buy livestock. Each flock also carries genes that adapt the animal to this landscape: a double layer of fleece, and extra long eyelashes to cope with the rain on west-facing fellsides.

  • Foreign staff have ‘changed our lives’: Scottish farmers fear for future after changes to skilled worker visas

    Locals say staff from the Philippines and elsewhere have made life better, and plan to take their case to a government body

    A group of dairy cows are grazing on a grassy slope overlooking the Irish sea, a picture-postcard scene that wouldn’t be out of place on a VisitScotland advert.

    These are just some of the 1,200 Holstein-Jersey cross cows kept at Dourie Farm, perched on the hill above Port William in Dumfries and Galloway in the south-west of Scotland. The area is known for its mild, moist climate, thanks to the warm air brought across the Atlantic by the Gulf Stream.

  • ‘I think it’s selfish’: William and Kate face backlash over Windsor Great Park no-go zone

    Royal couple’s desire for more privacy means 2.3-mile perimeter exclusion zone and less public land for walkers

    For almost two decades Tina has enjoyed early morning walks through Windsor Great Park’s ancient-oak studded open fields with the freedom to let her dog off the lead.

    In recent weeks, however, she has noticed disturbing changes: fencing appearing around her regular route near Cranbourne Gate, trenches being dug, hedges planted and CCTV cameras erected.

  • This Patagonian village has glacier-fed rivers and majestic scenery. The only problem? Sewage

    El Chaltén is a paradise for hikers. But the seasonal influx of tourists stretches the sanitation infrastructure to breaking point – and even a legal victory has not provided a solution

    When people in the Patagonian village of El Chaltén saw untreated waste flowing into waterways and found the sewage plant was faulty, they grew increasingly concerned about the health risks from pollution in two glacier-fed rivers, the Fitz Roy and Las Vueltas.

    The incident in 2016 led Marie Anière Martínez, a conservationist with the Patagonian environmental organisation Boana, and Lorena Martínez, a Los Glaciares national park official, to form a group to investigate water contamination at the Unesco world heritage site.

  • Outcry as Trump plots more roads and logging in US forests: ‘You can almost hear the chainsaws’

    Critics say move to axe Bill Clinton’s ‘roadless rule’ that protected key old-growth forests will be devastating to environment

    In 1999, Bill Clinton ascended one of the highest summits in Virginia to announce that “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads, drilling and other disturbances within America’s most prized forests.

    But today, this site in George Washington national forest, along with other near-pristine forests across the US that amount to 58m acres, equivalent to the size of the UK, could soon see chainsaws whir and logging trucks rumble through them amid a push by Donald Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.
