Just two years ago the Earth was already in the ICU, when scientists confirmed that six critical thresholds for life on our planet had been crossed. These are nine indicators that make Earth a habitable place, like the vital signs examined during a medical checkup, from climate to freshwater use to the destruction of the ozone layer. For each of these nine indicators, limits have been established that should not be exceeded so that our planet remains a "safe" place for life. Well, in 2025, we have still exceeded the critical limit for another of the indicators, so that seven of the nine are now in the red, according to a new report from the Planetary Boundaries Science Lab at the Potsdam Institute for Research.

The hermit ibis is a bird with a very distinctive appearance, but it is not easy to observe. In fact, it completely disappeared from Catalonia and the rest of the Mediterranean territories more than 300 years ago. However, in 1990, numerous recovery plans were launched to reintroduce it to Europe; today, it is estimated that there are 2,000 specimens.
