The Independent highlights critical issues like reproductive rights and climate change while also reporting on the successful reintroduction of the New Forest cicada to the UK. After going extinct in the 1990s due to land management changes, conservationists from the Species Recovery Trust released 11 cicadas back into their native habitat. The project, which involved capturing the cicadas in France, underscores the importance of concerted efforts in biodiversity recovery and reflects a commitment to restoring species lost to human impact.
Conservationists believe changes to land management led to their extinction in the UK, and the recent reintroduction of cicadas marks a significant effort in species recovery.
The Species Recovery Trust released 11 New Forest cicadas into a habitat at Paultons Park, marking their first confirmed presence in the UK since the 1990s.
