Could moths be the secret to understanding climate change?
By Josh PoyserFirst, let’s dispel a myth. Not all moths are brown and boring. Some species are colorful and just as beautiful as their butterfly cousins. But, their numbers are falling — which will have a knock-on effect on the environment and humankind.There have been significant changes to moth populations in the UK over the last 50 years.The Atlas of Britain and Ireland’s Larger Moths, based on 25.6 million moth records submitted over 275 years, presents the most recent information on species distribution (where they are found) and abundance (numbers of each species).The study looked at patterns of change from 1970-2016 and showed that 31 percent of the 390 species had declined in distribution, while 38 percent of species increased.What's more, 34 percent showed a significant...

Hugely talented singer, guitarist and composer Sama Shoufani returns to the limelight with new single
Sama Shoufani reaches new heights with her latest single ‘Badi Ellak’ 
DUBAI — Hugely talented singer, guitarist and composer Sama Shoufani returns to the limelight with new single "Badi Ellak".Sama’s latest release is out on Oct. 1, 2020, on Levantine Records in the United States.

Egypt’s fight to preserve coral reefs in the Red Sea
CAIRO — Off the coast of Egypt, the waters of the Red Sea are home to some of the most productive and diverse coral reefs in the world.Year-round sunshine attracts millions of snorkelers, divers, and other visitors to the coastal resorts.
