Nerd this week's news takes some critical thinking so put your nuance hats on! A new national park in Chile has all the good feels on paper but when we struggle to hear how indigenous people of the area feel, it gives us a bit of an ick. Africa's Elephant populations are all over the place from Botswana to Sudan, so how do we manage their conservation? And finally a story that shocked both Ryan & Nadia, stolen Peregrine falcons...

This week on Nature News we are all about fuel......of the fossil kind. Nadia starts with a story from Demark, which is one of capturing carbon to store back where they found it but, is this truly the solution? Next Ryan shares some news from Columbia about some fossil fuel bans which sound a bit more of a way forward.

To play or not to play? That is rarely the question but in this week's Nature News.....it actually is. After an experiment involving sharks & human toys took place during a controlled study, a question was raised asking "do sharks play?".
It's also that magical time of year where we have.....AN AVIAN FLU UPDATE. Okay, so not quite the festive feels but nevertheless, an important look into what this virus is doing.
