Fox cub found choking to death in football net
It became trapped at a school in Basildon, Essex, and was unable to breathe properly or escape, said South Essex Wildlife Hospital.
Lead vet Tom Linsel was called to the scene last week and managed to cut it free just in time.
Following treatment, it was released back to its mother in the wild. The school was told to lift its nets when not in use, so wildlife could pass through easily.

What's more American than Big Bear's famous bald eagles? Maybe protecting them from fireworks
There's nothing more American than fireworks, the Fourth of July, and bald eagles. Unfortunately the combination of the first two elements is stressful for all wildlife, including the internet-famous bald eagle family of Big Bear, California: Jackie and Shadow, and their daughters, Sunny and Gizmo. Ahead of the big holiday last week, Friends of the Big Bear Valley (FOBBV), the nonprofit organization behind the live-streamed web cameras that have turned these birds into superstars, attempted to present evidence to the city about the harmful impact that fireworks have on nature. However, the fireworks display went forward nonetheless, to the dismay of many of the eagles' fans. Here's a recap and what to know about the controversy. A pre-show warning about fireworks In 2023, FOBBV created a presentation outlining the many negative impacts of fireworks ahead of a Memorial Day show. The loud noises of the nighttime spectacle cause the eagles to enter fight-or-flight mode and fly off into the night. Eagles do not have great nighttime vision and risk injury when they flee a scene in such a way. In 2019, for instance, Jackie and Shadow left their chick Simba unprotected and without food for the night because they were scared. In 2022, Jackie and Shadow left the area for 6 days. 'We have noticed that Jackie and Shadow fly off each year with the fireworks, we have them on camera,' said Sandy Steers, executive director of FOBBV, according to local station ABC7. Fast Company reached out to FOBBV for further comment. A problem for animal life more broadly Bald Eagles are not the only animals impacted by fireworks. Other local birds become disoriented and some even have heart attacks and die. Mammals have been known to run into busy roadways. Pets such as dogs and cats also suffer, often becoming lost in all the chaos. Beyond their impact on animals, fireworks pollute the environment. Toxic substances such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and strontium negatively impact air quality. Perchlorates, a chemical compound that acts as an oxidizer, are highly water soluble, which means they can contaminate lakes. The soil and plant life are also at risk from debris. For all these reasons and more, FOBBV urged the city to find a creative alternative, such as a block party, drone show, and/or light show. How did Jackie and Shadow react to the fireworks? As anticipated, Jackie and Shadow were not too happy about this year's firework display. They followed their typical nighttime routine, roosting around 8 p.m. local time. They appeared ready for sleep at around 8:30 but were rudely awoken instead around 9 by the bangs of fireworks. One eagle flew away immediately. Jackie made several vocalizations to express her displeasure and warn others about danger. Both eagles were gone by 9:18. The good news is, Jackie and Shadow were spotted on camera the next evening, safe and sound. What about Sunny and Gizmo? Jackie and Shadow's daughters are more of a mystery. They have not been seen since June 27, before the fireworks display. But this is normal behavior as the girls have been testing their limits and trying to decide where to settle down. It is quite possible they were further away from the show, but the organization still worries about the impact the fireworks had on the young birds. What have the organizers of the fireworks said about this? Visit Big Bear, a city-affiliated group that was involved in the fireworks, defended the decision to put on the display, according to the Los Angeles Times, saying it did not believe it would disrupt the eagles' habitat. Fast Company has reached out to the group for additional comment. What have fans of the eagle family said? Many are not happy. A petition calling for the cancellation of the fireworks had attracted more than 40,000 signatures over the course of several days. Even though the petition didn't stop the fireworks from happening, organizers wrote that they were happy to have spread awareness about the issue. However, amid the widespread criticism, some supporters of the eagles are also urging for calm. In a Facebook post on Thursday, FOBBV noted that some critics of the fireworks had been 'aggressive with agencies and their employees' and had taken to cyber-bullying tactics and even posted people's personal information. FOBBV said it condemn such behavior. 'It's time to be kind!' the group wrote.

Gnaw and order: An imperiled Arizona river gets help from relocated beavers
For years, conservationists have been building manmade dams to help restore Arizona's disappearing wetlands. Now, the state's last free-flowing river is undergoing renovations from nature's most efficient construction crew: a pair of recently released beavers. Arizona Game and Fish biologists are testing a new protocol for moving beavers from locations where they can be a nuisance to businesses and homeowners to areas of the state where they can contribute to conservation. 'It's a shift in mindset,' said Angie Stingelin, a senior wildlife specialist with the Arizona Game and Fish Department, in a news release. 'Instead of relocating a nuisance beaver to an area where it might cause less trouble, we're harnessing its natural behaviors to restore vital habitats within the beaver's known range in Arizona.' The first beaver to be released in this project was trapped at Arlington Wildlife Area along the Gila River after causing land management issues, like clogging pipes and disturbing irrigation infrastructure. After undergoing a multi-day quarantine and health check, the beaver was released in January into the Lower San Pedro River Wildlife Area and it quickly began making improvements on manmade analog dams made from logs and willow branches. A second beaver, believed to be the original beaver's mate, was captured and released into the Lower San Pedro in the spring. The two reunited and have been spotted on trail camera images traveling together. Arizona wildlife: It's a thirsty world for desert creatures. How a state agency keeps water basins full Since the 1800s, more than a third of Arizona's wetlands have disappeared, according to the U.S. Wildlife Service. Beaver dams can help restore these wetlands by holding back water to temporarily flood an area and allow more time for the water to permeate into the ground. Over the years, damming projects in the Lower San Pedro River have shown an increased growth of cottonwood and willow trees, which in turn, have led to an improved habitat for endangered species, like the southwestern willow flycatcher. 'The management of one species leading to the conservation value and increase in numbers of another actually listed species, we see that as a win-win,' said Shawn Lowrey, regional supervisor of restoration and mitigation for Arizona Game and Fish. Before release, captured beavers undergo a 72-hour quarantine period to check their health and ensure they won't transport any invasive species to their new homes. The beavers are also given an ear tag and outfitted with a GPS tracker. The data collected through GPS tracking and onsite monitoring will be used to help implement a project with the Bureau of Land Management planned for Cienega Creek, where a family of beavers is planned for release later this year. Relocating nuisance beavers isn't new in western states. In the 1940s, Idaho's wildlife management agency dropped beavers from planes using parachutes and release boxes to translocate them to remote mountain locations. The relocation of the beavers along the San Pedro River is a comprehensive, thoughtful process, said Lowrey. 'We still need to kind of go through the process of identifying where the ideal locations are for the release of beavers, especially in this 20-year drought,' said Lowrey. 'That way they can still do what they do, living out their lives doing ecological engineering for the greater good.' John Leos covers environmental issues for The Arizona Republic and azcentral.
