CANNES, France—Anti-piracy authorities say they have cracked down on illegal streaming of films and TV programs, but data suggests the practice is booming, reaching 215 billion illegal site visits last year. That figure from Britain-based MUSO, which claims the most comprehensive data on piracy websites, shows an 18-percent increase between 2021 and 2022, covering 480,000 films and TV shows. 'It's as easy as it ever was to get illegal content,' said CEO Andy Chatterley. The entertainment industry is not giving up.

Climate impacts on people and ecosystems are more widespread and severe than expected, and future risks will escalate rapidly with every fraction of a degree of warming.

Canine trainees and their handlers from Conservation Dogs of Hawaiʻi, boarded the docked University of Hawaiʻi research vessel Kilo Moana at the UH Marine Center recently to test and hone their skills to aid conservation and biosecurity missions.

The teams simulated search efforts to ensure incoming cargo is free from invasive species, such as rodents or insects. In the small spaces and steep stairways of the R/V Kilo Moana, the teams were challenged in an environment unlike other training locations.
