SCIENCE MAGAZINE: The latest issue features the last male northern white rhino socializes with a southern white rhino. Since his death in 2018, the northern subspecies is functionally extinct after decades of illegal killing for their horns. A study from the Greater Kruger region of South Africa offers some hope for remaining rhino species, proving that dehorning operations can achieve poaching reductions under certain circumstances and in conjunction with other interventions.

It’s three years since the murders of the journalist Dom Phillips and the Indigenous activist Bruno Pereira, who were both killed on a visit to the remote Javari valley in the Brazilian Amazon.
Dom was a Guardian contributor based in Brazil, whose reporting often appeared in the Guardian Weekly. Last week his widow, Alessandra Sampaio, came to visit our London offices along with Beto Marubo, an Indigenous leader from the Brazilian Amazon.
From the other side of the world it’s easy to feel far removed from the activities of criminal gangs that threaten the Amazon’s Indigenous people and plunder its natural resources. But hearing Beto and Alessandra speak so powerfully about the impact of Dom and Bruno’s work reminded me why we need to stay focused on a region that defies easy scrutiny.
