Science and technology news today spans both urgent risk and long-term stewardship. In Guatemala, authorities have escalated alerts and ordered evacuations around Volcán de Fuego as the eruption intensifies, with lava, ash, road closures and class suspensions underscoring how quickly natural hazards can disrupt entire regions. At the same time, conservation got a major philanthropic boost as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeff Bezos launched the $200 million Phoenix Species Project, one of the largest efforts focused solely on pulling 100 critically endangered species back from the brink. Another emerging fault line is artificial intelligence: actor Mrunal Thakur’s warning over deepfakes using her likeness reflects growing concern about how synthetic media is outpacing legal and social safeguards. Taken together, the day’s stories show science not as abstraction, but as something shaping safety, biodiversity and identity in real time.
