The air pollution was so bad in Harbin, in China, on October 21 that the city was forced to close roads and schools, and to cancel hundreds of flights from its airport.

Story- Scientists have discovered 60 species of previously unknown plants and animals living in a remote rainforest in southeastern Suriname. Suriname is a small country on the northeastern coast of South America, just north of Brazil. It is located in a geographic area called the Guiana Shield, which contains more than one-quarter of the world’s rainforest. An expedition of 16 field biologists spent three weeks in Suriname in 2012, exploring the remote, mountainous rainforest region. Thirty indigenous men helped transport their food and equipment by boat and guided team through the forest. There has been very little human activity in the region the scientists were exploring, so plants and animals have been able to flourish. As a result, there is a high level of biodiversity there. (Biodiversity – which is short for “biological diversity” – means the variety of plant and animal species living in an area.)The scientists found 1,378 different species of plants, insects, birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals in the region, including 60 that they believe have not been identified before. The new species include six frogs, one snake, 11 types of fish, and many insects. One of the newly discovered insects is the tiny Lilliputian dung beetle. Measuring only 2.3 mm, it is believed to be the second smallest dung beetle in South America. Dung beetles play a vital role in the ecosystem. By burying dung (animal poop) they help to control parasites and disease. They also help to scatter seeds around, and to return nutrients to the soil so plants can grow. One new type of frog is the cocoa frog – a chocolate-brown frog that lives in trees. Another new species – the snouted tree frog – was discovered when it landed on the scientists’ camp table during dinner one night.
