Cashmere goats graze on foliage as they wander through a compartment above the beach, on January 09, 2023 in Bournemouth, England. Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council began their goat grazing scheme in 2020 on the East Cliff, overlooking Bournemouth beach. The aim is to encourage British feral goats to manage vegetation along the cliff tops naturally. Grazing by livestock is seen as the only long-term and viable solution for cliff management. Goats are very effective at controlling the growth of holm oak, the most harmful of the invasive exotic shrubs and trees on the cliffs and there has also been an increase in butterflies, lizards and native grassland cover.

An elephant seal in the early morning of 25 December, 2022 on the Kerguelen Islands, also known as the Desolation Islands. Located in the sub-Antarctic more than 2,000 miles from Madagascar, they are among the most isolated places on Earth. There are no indigenous inhabitants, but France maintains a presence of 45 to 100 soldiers, scientists, engineers and researchers at the Port-aux-Français scientific base. Facilities include research buildings, a satellite tracking station, hospital, library, gymnasium and pub and the chapel of Notre-Dame des Vents. (Photo by Patrick Hertzog/AFP Photo)

This photograph shows a fur seal, in the Amsterdam Island, part of the five administrative districts of the French Southern and Antarctic Territories, on December 29, 2022. The research station at Martin-de-Vivies, is the only settlement on the island and is the seasonal home to about thirty researchers and staff studying biology, meteorology, and geomagnetics. The island is home to the endemic Amsterdam albatross. Purest air on earth. Amsterdam is a world benchmark for atmospheric analysis. The site has exceptional qualities: distance of more than 3,000 km from any continent and any human activity. In this area of the southern hemisphere, the air masses are particularly pure and mixed because depressions can easily circumnavigate the island without being stopped.
