There are very few rivers across the globe that remain undamaged by humanity, according to a new study published in journal Science.
The study states that biodiversity of more than half of rivers had been profoundly affected and a lot of the big fish species have been replaced.
Rising temperatures due to the climate crisis, pollution, overfishing and farm irrigation are some factors causing damage to the rivers.
The study adds that rivers in western Europe and North America are worst hit. Many rivers are now unrecognisable from how they looked before the industrial revolution.&nbsp;

Dolphins have developed several personality traits that are similar to humans, including curiosity and sociability, according to a new study by researchers from the&nbsp;University of Hull.
The study states that despite evolving in very different environments, there is a convergence of personality traits between humans and dolphins.
It further states that dolphins have brains that are larger than what their body requires for bodily functions. This makes them highly intelligent and curious creatures.
The research however concluded by saying that it must not be assumed that these personality traits between humans and dolphins are identical.

UN secretary-general, Ant&oacute;nio Guterres&nbsp;has warned that humanity is waging a 'suicidal and senseless' war on nature, accelerating destruction of life on Earth.
The secretary-general's warning came at the launch of a UN report that enlisted the triple emergency. This includes the pollution and climate crisis and the devastation of wildlife.
The key to a sustainable future is making peace with nature, he shared.
Certain measures like taxing carbon emissions and diverting destructive farming to green energy, must be inculcated.

Increased exposure to air pollution increases the risk of infertility, according to a new study by Peking University Third hospital in China.
The study found that those living with small particles of pollution had a 20% greater risk of infertility, which the researchers defined as 'not becoming pregnant within a year of trying'.
According to a Guardian report,&nbsp; while the scientists did not state how pollution poses a risk to fertility, it is believed that pollution particles cause inflammation in the body which could damage sperm and egg production.
It further added that weight, age and smoking also risk factors.&nbsp;

In a surprising find, scientists have discovered immobile life forms under a 900 metre thick&nbsp;Antarctic ice shelf and say it is life that shouldn't be there. The discovery comes after a team led by the British Antarctic Survey drilled through the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf and dropped a camera down the hole to search for mud on the seabad. To their surprise, they found a boulder with nearly 16 sponges, 22 unidentified animals including some that appear to be barnacles. The creatures found, scientists said, likely survive on photosynthetic organisms that need sunlight which is missing beneath the ice shelf and that's the reason they shouldn't be here. The findings suggest that life in Antarctica's harshest environment is more diverse and adaptable than previously thought.&nbsp;

Scientists from the&nbsp;National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and&nbsp;British Antarctic Survey, have deployed a robot at the remnants of the A68A in Antarctica, which was once the world's biggest iceberg.
The robotic glider will help investigate the impact of these remnants of the iceberg, on the environment.
The glider will measure&nbsp;seawater salinity, temperature and chlorophyll close to the ice.
The iceberg has spent several months drifting towards the&nbsp;South Atlantic island of South Georgia, where it could pose a major risk to marine life.

Rising sea levels could wipe out Mumbai by 2050, reveals study

India's financial capital, Mumbai is at risk of being wiped out due to the rising sea levels, reveals a new study by Climate Central, a New Jersey-based organisation. The study also found that by 2050, the rising seas could affect triple the population than previously thought. While this comes as a threat to everyone, some of the greatest coastal cities are at a larger risk. For the research, scientists looked at satellite readings to calculate&nbsp;land elevations. Almost 150 million people are currently living on land that could be submerged by 2050 due to high tides. From Vietnam to Thailand and Shanghai, the report estimated the dangers of these regions and calls for action and preparations for internal relocation.
