Invasive Bee Species Spotted for First Time in Malta

Aug 22 2024

A new bee species has been spotted in Malta, marking a significant event for local biodiversity. The Breeds of Origin Conservancy recently announced the discovery of the first established colony of the red dwarf honeybee, Apis florea, on the island. This is the first time this species has been recorded in Malta, raising concerns among experts and conservationists.

Local beekeeper and Breeds of Origin Conservancy Administrator, Thomas Galea, made the groundbreaking discovery. Galea, who is widely recognised for his efforts to conserve the endangered Maltese honeybee, identified the colony and reported it to the relevant authorities. His expertise has been instrumental in highlighting the potential risks associated with the presence of Apis florea in Malta.

The Breeds of Origin Conservancy has issued a formal alert to all competent authorities and the beekeeping community about the potential threat posed by this alien invasive species. The red dwarf honeybee, native to Southeast Asia, could disrupt local ecosystems and compete with native bee species for resources. The discovery underscores the importance of vigilance in monitoring and protecting Malta’s unique biodiversity. Further studies and actions are expected to assess the impact of this new species on the local environment.

South Africa’s Last Zoo Elephant Freed After 40 Years

Aug 21 2024

South Africa’s last remaining zoo elephant, Charlie, has been released into the wild after 40 years in captivity. Captured from Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park in 1984, Charlie spent decades performing in the Boswell Wilkie Circus before being moved to South Africa’s only national zoo in the early 2000s. Over recent years, animal welfare groups raised concerns about his health, citing signs of distress common in captive elephants. After years of negotiations and scientific evidence proving the negative impact of zoos on elephants, Charlie was transferred to the Shambala Private Reserve in Limpopo province on Tuesday.

The EMS Foundation and animal welfare group Four Paws, who campaigned for Charlie’s freedom, celebrated the move as a “milestone for better animal welfare in South Africa.” His new home is a 10,000-hectare reserve with a thriving elephant population, where he will be closely monitored as he reintegrates into the wild. The organisations hope Charlie will eventually join the reserve’s elephant community, living freely as intended. South Africa’s wild elephant population exceeds 25,000, though the species remains threatened by poaching and habitat loss.
