The Greek Ship Manager Delta Tankers Denied Its Involvement in the Crude Oil Spill Off the Coast of Brazil That Has Kept the Country’s Response Agencies Busy for the Last Two Months

Brazilian authorities said on November 1st that the Greek-flagged tanker Bouboulina, which was carrying Venezuelan oil, was responsible for the spill. Delta Tankers denied this, stating that a thorough review of the material from the cameras and sensors that all of its vessels carry as part of their safety and environmental policies revealed no evidence that the Bouboulina could be responsible for the spill.

“There is no evidence that the ship stopped, conducted any type of STS (ship-to-ship) operation, leaked/spilled oil, slowed down, or altered its course during its passage from Venezuela to Melaka, Malaysia”, the company said.

The company added that it would share its materials with Brazilian authorities if they reached out to the company, noting that no contact had been made so far.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

While the world looks at forests, the UN warns that the Earth is also threatened by the silent degradation of natural grasslands and savannas, ecosystems that cover half of the planet, support billions of people, and can exacerbate water, food, and climate crises.
