June 20, 2024 ISLAMABAD – Climate change can minimise yields in some places, block the transportation of food, and drive down the nutritional value of staple grains. It may not be obvious in grocery stores and wholesale food markets, but behind the stacks of bread and bags of rice we purchase are hundreds of thousands of farmers and agriculturists who are scrambling to keep up with the impact of climate change.

April 8, 2024 KARACHI – Today marks six months to Oct 7, the day Hamas fighters launched the deadliest attack on Israel in its history. It is again time to count the losses. They begin with the dead; over 33,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis. The toll in Gaza is likely to change within just a few hours as Israel continues its unyielding bombing of the enclave. The tally of suffering does not end here though.

March 26, 2024 KARACHI – Rising temperatures, rapid glacial melts and warming oceans are triggering a host of climate-related events. When Mohammad Hasan returned to his hometown in Gilgit-Baltistan last month, he was welcomed by a parched Skardu gasping for precipitation. The peaks encircling the town, usually hidden under a blanket of snow, looked livid with thirst. In neighbouring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, ‘hotspots’ Malam Jabba, Swat and Kalam also failed to transition from brown to white.

March 10, 2023 ISLAMABAD – In a barren and secluded enclosure at the Karachi Zoo, an elephant is fighting for her life. The endangered African elephant has developed problems with her hind legs that have left her limping and in physical distress. Experts say she needs to be immediately relocated from the zoo to Safari Park. Noor Jehan, 17, is one of the two elephants who have been caged at the zoo for years now. The animal, who underwent a major tusk surgery last year, is once again in pain.
