Two stories this week:

Three pipelines were shut down or abandoned this week. The Dakota Access Pipeline and Keystone XL Pipeline have been shut down or stalled due to insufficient environmental impact reports. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline shut down due to political pressure and rising costs.

Wild bison are projected to be re-introduced to the UK in the Spring of 2022. As a keystone species, the bison is anticipated to help engineer the ecosystem to increase biodiversity.
