Staatsbosbeheer besloot vorige week dat zijn buitencentra – met de vele publieksactiviteiten – per 2027 dicht moeten. Ze lijden allemaal verlies, aldus Staatsbosbeheer. „De natuur is niet rendabel.”

LONDEN (ANP/BLOOMBERG) - Shell heeft in het tweede kwartaal opnieuw sterke handelsresultaten behaald door de onrust op de olie- en gasmarkt vanwege de Iranoorlog. Dat meldt Shell in een voorlopige update over de afgelopen drie maanden. Wel is de gasproductie van Shell flink gedaald door de schade aan een groot gascomplex van het bedrijf in Qatar door een Iraanse aanval in maart.
Shell zegt dat de resultaten uit de gashandel significant hoger zullen liggen dan in het eerste kwartaal toen die ook sterk waren. Bij de oliehandel wordt een vergelijkbaar resultaat verwacht als in de eerste drie maanden, toen die eveneens aanzienlijk hoger uitvielen dan in de voorgaande periode.
De totale productie van vloeibaar gemaakte gasproducten lag volgens Shell in het afgelopen kwartaal tussen de 610.000 en 650.000 vaten olie-equivalent per dag. Dat waren 909.000 vaten per dag in het eerste kwartaal. Die daling geeft volgens Shell de impact weer van de oorlog op de Qatarese productievolumes.

It may contain a brief moment of actual tree-hugging but this bracing solo show by Bryony Kimmings finds fresh and compelling perspectives on the horribly familiar plight of our planet. Season through season, she recounts a year of upheaval after moving to a regenerative permaculture homestead with her son, her partner and his daughter. It’s a thrill to see Kimmings back, in a climate reckoning of both cosmic and quotidian proportions – and a theatrical time capsule of the way we live now. Chris Wiegand Read the review. Traverse, 8-30 August

Imagine standing in your garden. A bumblebee whizzes overhead too quickly to follow, a sparrow darts from the fence to the trees, and a snail lugs itself across the garden stones. Assume for a moment that each of these animals has a stream of experience – that the world for them unfolds over time. How does the world appear from their perspective? In short, do they experience time in a similar way to us?
Scientific studies have already shown that humans, bees, sparrows and snails all differ in sensitivity to wavelengths of light and frequencies of sound – that is, we see and hear differently. But in a recent review, our research group asked whether time, that stream of experience, unfolds in the same way for us as it does for the bee, the sparrow, or the snail?

Mexico City, Guadalajara, Miami, Kansas City – Colombia’s World Cup journey has gradually been heading north for three weeks. Thousands of their supporters now descend on Vancouver looking to see Néstor Lorenzo’s side try to reach their first quarter-final in 12 years when they face Switzerland on Tuesday. After Mexico and the United States, “yellow fever” is about to hit Canada.
This sort of fan migration, which has filled host cities with vibrant colour and joy, has not been seen since that last quarter-final in 2014, when Colombia supporters travelled in massive numbers to Brazil, not only owing to its proximity but also to the fact that the selección had not qualified for a World Cup for almost a generation before. James Rodríguez, the breakout star of that tournament, addressed the fans before travelling to North America as captain this year as there had been trouble when Colombia were in the US for the 2024 Copa América.

The death toll from devastating storms in parts of China rose to 15 on Tuesday, with hundreds more injured and tens of thousands evacuated, state media reported, as the country’s leader, Xi Jinping, urged “all out” efforts to rescue people affected by the weather.
Thunderstorms and gale-force winds killed at least 11 people and injured 331 in the central province of Hubei, where “severe convective weather” hit cities, while tornadoes were reported elsewhere late Monday, state news agency Xinhua said.
