New Zealand puts cap on offshore oil and gas exploration - no new permits granted
(quote)
New Zealand bans all new offshore oil exploration as part of 'carbon-neutral future'
The New Zealand government will grant no new offshore oil exploration permits. The ban will apply to new permits and won’t affect the existing 22, some of which have decades left on their exploration rights and cover an area of 100,000 sq km.
The prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, said her government "has a plan to transition towards a carbon-neutral future, one that looks 30 years in advance”"
The Labour coalition government was elected last year and made tackling climate change one of the cornerstones of its policies, committing to transition to 100% of electricity generation from renewable sources by 2035 and making the economy carbon neutral by 2050.
Last month Ardern accepted a 50,000-strong Greenpeace petition calling for an end to offshore oil and gas exploration.

World's last male white rhino dies: Sudan was born in 1972 when ~1,000 still roamed wild. Another species driven into grave

Sudan, the world's last male northern white rhino, has died, putting his species on the brink of extinction
Sudan was born in 1972, in what is now South Sudan, when there were still about 1,000 northern white rhinos roaming wild. But their habitat was then, as it remains today, riven by human conflict. As The Washington Post's Kevin Sieff wrote in a profile of Sudan in 2015: “They were concentrated in countries plagued by war: Sudan, Congo, the Central African Republic. When fighting broke out, the rhinos were also victims, killed for their meat or their horns, or sometimes exchanged for money or arms.”
The world's last remaining male northern white rhino has died in Kenya at age 45, the conservationists who looked after him said Tuesday. There are now just two female members of the subspecies left.
