Mellan 2003 och 2019 har nästan en fjärdedel av Sveriges sista gamla oskyddade naturliga skogar försvunnit. Med nuvarande skövlingstakt kommer dessa ekologiskt värdefulla skogar att vara borta om 50 år. Det visar en studie av bland andra forskare från Lunds och Umeå universitet. En mindre del av Sveriges oskyddade produktiva skogar består av gammal skog som sannolikt aldrig tidigare kalhuggits. De

– Mitt första projekt gick ut på att ge fattiga familjer i Thailand möjlighet att låta sina barn gå i skolan.

Ett fingeravtryck har hittats i den tjära som användes för att bygga den äldsta kända träplankbåten i Skandinavien, vilket ger en direkt koppling till de sjöfarande plundrare som använde båten för över 2 000 år sedan. Genom att analysera själva tjäran är forskare vid Lunds universitet närmare att lösa det långvariga mysteriet om varifrån angriparna kom. Under 300-talet f.Kr. attackerade en armada

Du vet nog hur det är: Trots vidbrända kastruller och sås på hela spisen: foto av en läckert upplagd rätt, med vin oc
