examined over three hundred sites where African apes live and noted temperature increases across all of them, then used projections of both 2C and 3C above pre-industrial levels scenarios. In these cases, some ape populations would be more exposed to extreme climate events like wildfires, drought, cyclones and heat waves. The greatest danger to apes is being physically broken up. Isolation and the loss of older members breaks down the entire group\u2019s resilience, leading to potential generational trauma the longer extreme climate events last.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A call for action: <\/strong>To mitigate these risks, the study\u2019s authors advocate for increased research on ape sensitivity and adaptability to climate change and emphasize that protecting apes requires addressing the root causes of poverty and food insecurity that lead to habitat encroachment.

batteries, which are used to power EVs, safer and more energy-dense. This <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anthroenergy.com\/anthro-advanced-battery-cells\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, which is non-flammable and mechanically robust, could prevent battery fires and improve cycle life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why is this important?<\/strong> Lithium-ion batteries pose a significant fire risk because they contain <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dfes.wa.gov.au\/hazard-information\/fire-in-the-home\/lithium-ion-batteries\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">highly flammable materials<\/a> and are energy-dense. The batteries can cause fires and explosions, and they are a radiation, heat, chemical and electrical hazard. A number of triggers, such as overcharging or overheating can lead to a lithium-ion battery fire. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Fire risks are a challenge for the EV market:<\/strong> Despite EVs posing no more of a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2023\/nov\/20\/do-electric-cars-pose-a-greater-fire-risk-than-petrol-or-diesel-vehicles\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">fire hazard threat<\/a> than internal combustion engine vehicles, EV battery fires are more dangerous as they burn nearly 3x hotter and are more likely to reignite, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.evfiresafe.com\/risks-ev-fires\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">EV FireSafe<\/a>. The batteries are also capable of producing their own oxygen, meaning fires do not need external oxygen to sustain them. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Plans for large-scale operations are underway: <\/strong>The company aims to use the USD 20 mn it recently raised in a series A financing round to expand its tech by building a pilot facility in California to produce electrolytes for large-scale battery manufacturers. Operations are expected to begin by the end of 2024 and product shipments will start in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div
