Last update: 5 hours agoWorking Animals in Focus: New research ahead of World Animal Day says 1 in 5 adults worldwide wouldn’t feel confident identifying a working animal, even though many communities still rely on donkeys, mules and oxen to move water and supplies over rough terrain.

Whale Protection Setback: At IWC70, a South Atlantic whale sanctuary bid failed again, with Mauritania among the countries voting against the proposal. Mauritania’s Energy Tech Push: Aura Energy named its leadership team to move the Tiris uranium project from study toward construction, with a bankable feasibility study due mid-October and a pilot plant already under way at Bir Moghrein. Health Cooperation: Mauritania and Algeria signed a public health cooperation agreement covering prevention, hospital management, border health surveillance and joint technical follow-up. Education & Research Links: Mauritania signed a Brazil cooperation deal to expand academic mobility and scientific research, and also met Russian and other education partners to deepen higher-education ties.
