“One in five reptiles(파충류) is threatened with extinction”

One in five reptiles is threatened with extinction, according to the first comprehensive assessment of more than 10,000 species across the world. Scientists say reptiles have long been overlooked for conservation, as the animals are seen as less charismatic than other “furry and feathery” creatures. They hope to publicize the essential role reptiles play the balance of life to reverse the extinction catastrophe.

“Samsung ad featuring woman running alone at 2am receives criticism”

A recent Samsung advertisement has been criticized as “unrealistic” and “tone-deaf.” The ad features a young woman running alone through dark streets and alleyways with earbuds in at 2am. It comes after the death of 23-year-old Ashling Murphy, who was attacked while out running near the west of Dublin earlier this year. Samsung apologized that it was never its intention to be “insensitive to ongoing conversations around women’s safety.”
