The Desperate Gambit That Could Save A Tiny Porpoise From Extinction ... Or Kill It
In 2016, scientists made a distressing announcement: There were fewer than 30 vaquitas ― a tiny porpoise that dwells in Mexico’s Gulf of California ― left in the wild. With carcasses continuing to wash up, researchers worry the vaquita could be extinct by 2018, becoming yet another mammal forced off the face of the Earth.
Losing the porpoise would be a tragedy for Mexico, the World Wildlife Fund said this week ― akin to “losing a piece” of the country, according to Maria Jose Villanueva, a project coordinator for WWF Mexico.
But the demise of the vaquita would be a blow to more than...

Under Trumpcare, Pregnancy Could Be 425% More Expensive
Much of the criticism levied against the GOP health bill that narrowly passed the House last week is that it will strip away protections for people with pre-existing conditions, putting affordable health insurance out of their reach.
And one of those conditions? Pregnancy, which would be up to 425 percent more expensive under the new plan, according to estimates from liberal think tank the Center for American Progress.
Premiums for women with uncomplicated pregnancies could jump by more than $17,000, CAP estimates.
That’s because under Trumpcare, states would be able to apply for a waiver from the so-called...

Study Warns Cotton Swabs Are Sending Thousands Of Kids To The ER
COLUMBUS, Ohio (CBS) – There’s a new study out showing just how many children are visiting hospital emergency rooms because of cotton swabs causing ear injuries.
Researchers with Nationwide Children’s Hospital shows that 263,000 children went to the ER between 1990 and 2010 for “cotton tip applicator related ear injuries.” That breaks down to 12,500 each year, or around 34 injuries every day, the organization says.
Doctors associated with the study say the idea that ear canals need to be cleaned with cotton swabs is a dangerous misconception.

These Travel Posters Depict A Dystopian Future If The U.S. Ignores Climate Change
Rising sea levels have overtaken some of America’s most iconic landmarks in a series of mock travel posters released by a Boulder, Colorado-based marketing agency this week.

This article is part of HuffPost’s Project Zero campaign, a yearlong series on neglected tropical diseases and efforts to fight them.
CHERANGAN, KENYA ― Walking home from a party in the evening light, Cheposait Adomo was unaware of the 6.5-foot black mamba snake in her path until it had coiled around her ankles and sunk in its teeth.
