A British company, Ambrey, has been hired to salvage the grounded Russian tanker Caroline Bezengi off Oman's coast and stop an oil spill threatening a marine protected area. The vessel was grounded near Qabiliyah Island following an explosion of unclear cause, and satellite images show the oil has spread exponentially over hundreds of square kilometers. Authorities confirmed the spill has reached Ras Madrakah and may continue spreading toward Masirah Island.

Due to climate change causing glacial retreat and unreliable snowfall, the Adelboden-Lenk resort plans to adapt its existing snowmaking infrastructure for fighting summer forest fires. The underground water pipes and reservoirs can be used to create wet buffer areas, helping slow the advance of flames. Authorities assess wildfire risk as high across Switzerland, prompting preparation in mountain areas like the Bernese Oberland.

A satellite image from Copernicus Sentinel Data 2026 shows an oil spill off Oman's coast, likely from a stranded Russian tanker. Explosions affected the ship, but their cause remains unclear. Greenpeace warns of a potential environmental disaster, with experts highlighting risks from Russia's sanctioned shadow fleet.

Brazil is using forensic techniques like X-ray fluorescence and mass spectrometry to trace gold’s origin and combat illegal mining in the Amazon. The National Institute of Criminalistics in Brasilia established a 'gold lab' to analyze samples and determine if gold was illegally sourced from protected areas. Satellite data indicates significant rainforest destruction for mining since 2023.

Brazil is using forensic 'gold fingerprinting' at a specialized lab in Brasilia to trace the origin of gold samples and combat illegal mining in the Amazon, which threatens the rainforest and Indigenous communities. The method analyzes trace elements in gold to determine if it was illegally extracted from protected areas, aiding police in building cases against environmental crimes.

Brazil uses forensic science, including gold fingerprinting at the National Institute of Criminalistics in Brasilia, to trace gold's origin and combat illegal mining in the Amazon. The method analyzes trace elements like silver and copper to determine if gold was illegally mined in protected areas, aiding law enforcement in building cases against environmental crimes.

Greenpeace petitions Dutch courts to order JBS, the world’s biggest meat company, to disclose how its $6bn global expansion plan aligns with climate, nature, and human rights responsibilities. Courts will assess the petition to determine if JBS complies with Dutch 'duty of care' laws and its own public commitments.

Data center opposition has intensified in 2026, with construction setbacks in the first quarter exceeding 2025's total. At least 75 projects worth over $130 billion were delayed or canceled, driven by community protests and new state moratoriums. Active opposition groups grew from 396 to 833 across 49 states, supported by national organizations like Greenpeace and the NAACP.

Activists from organizations like Greenpeace and Amnesty International climbed Mexico City’s Estela de Luz monument to protest human rights issues, displaying banners with messages on migration, environmental justice, and gun control. The protest criticized the government’s focus on the World Cup over social and environmental problems, citing over 133,000 missing persons and 190,000 deportations between 2025 and March 2026.

Annie Leonard and André Carothers, co-authors of 'Protest: Respect It, Defend It, Use It,' highlight the importance of protest as a foundational American principle and warn against anti-protest laws and corporate legal tactics like SLAPP lawsuits. They cite examples such as the 2015 Seattle 'kayaktivist' protests against Shell's Arctic drilling and the $345 million lawsuit against Greenpeace over Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

A report by Greenpeace found that traditional English roast dinner ingredients may have been treated with over 100 pesticides, including seven banned in the EU. The pesticides were used on seven categories of vegetables and soft fruit. This discovery was based on data from the Fera pesticide usage survey for 2024.

Greenpeace lost its case in US courts, with the outcome being unfavorable to the organization. The loss is seen as a significant setback. Further actions are planned to address the issue.
