Dear Supporter, There's been a lot going on around the world over the last month. Here's your summary of everything we thought you might like to know.  Yesterday was Earth Overshoot Day  Find out more If nature was run like a bank account, we'd all expect to be told when there was nothing left to take. 2 August is when we, humanity, get that 'official' warning from the 'Bank of Nature'. It's called Earth Overshoot Day. The Earth provides us with vital things like freshwater, food and air — and, up to a certain point, it has an amazing capacity to regenerate.But we can't keep taking and expect the Earth to cope. Earth Overshoot Day marks the moment when we have taken as much as the planet can sustain in the current calendar year.

Finding this tiger was no easy task. Filmmaker and photojournalist Emmanuel Rondeau spent four weeks in the wildlife corridors of this mountainous country with a camera trap poised to capture an image of the elusive tiger. After weeks of waiting, a tiger appeared on the final day of the expedition. The result? The first high-resolution camera trap image of a wild tiger in Bhutan captured at an altitude above 11,000 feet.

Over a million people's livelihoods and the Selous' wildlife face a reduced threat, following latest discussions.
