344 (Audio): Fungi. Flu. Candyfloss. Kites.

What's the opposite of desertification?

This is the full audio edition of Fix The News, Edition 344.

31 minutes, from start to finish, and not just the newsletter read verbatim. We’ve removed all the source names and photo captions and rewritten it for listening: shorter sentences, spoken transitions, numbers said the way you'd say them out loud.

This week: a philanthropic bet on ending the common cold, Peru protecting a slice of Amazon headwaters after a 13-year campaign, Brazil's adolescent birth rate down 58% since 1996, the legal argument a French court just won against TotalEnergies, and the fungal network holding four to six times more carbon than every human on Earth combined.

Thanks to our paid subscribers for making this possible. This wouldn't exist without you.
