Subglacial landscape reveal potential future glacial lakes in the Southern Andes

This study presents the first regional reconstruction of subglacial topography in the Southern Andes, revealing that the region's retreating glaciers will leave behind over 3,900 potential future lakes capable of storing nearly 300 km³ of water, with significant implications for future freshwater resources and outburst flood hazards.

Socioeconomic Impacts of Human–Wildlife Conflict and Conservation Challenges in and Around Ambessa Chaka Protected Area, Bambasi District, Beni Shangul Gumuz Reginal State, Ethiopia

This mixed-methods study in Ethiopia's Ambessa Chaka Protected Area reveals that proximity to forest boundaries significantly intensifies human-wildlife conflict, causing substantial crop and livestock losses primarily from olive baboons and lions, while identifying education as a key driver of positive conservation attitudes and recommending species-specific deterrents, habitat restoration, and alternative livelihoods to mitigate these challenges.
