A student puts her mobile phone in her locker after switching it off, as it is a mandatory in the Auguste Brizeux highschool in Lorient, western France, on September 5, 2024. The Auguste Brizeux school in Lorient has since 2022 implemented a "digital break", when student enter must switch off and put their mobile phones in their lockers before going to class and then collect them at the end of class. Headmaster Gregory Charbonnier wanted to implement this ban for two reasons: the well-being and health of the child, and the fight against the harassment that is all too often amplified by telephone via social networks, in Lorient, western France, on September 6, 2024.

This undated photo courtesy of the US Fish & Wildlife Service shows the little brown bat hanging at Greeley Mine in Stockbridge, Vermont affected by white-nose syndrome. A collapse in North America's bat population led to a surge in pesticide use by farmers as an alternative way to protect their crops -- in turn triggering a rise in infant mortalities, a study revealed on September 5, 2024. The paper, published in Science, provides evidence supporting predictions that global biodiversity decline will have severe consequences for humans."Ecologists have been warning us that we're losing species left and right, and that extinction rates are orders of magnitude higher than what they think they should be, and that that will potentially have catastrophic impacts on humanity," author Eyal Frank, of the University of Chicago, told AFP.
