Train kills elephant in Sri Lanka's latest wildlife-railway accident
Colombo — A Sri Lankan express train killed an elephant and was derailed on Tuesday despite safety measures introduced after the country's worst wildlife railway accident three months ago on the same route. Local officials said the young wild elephant crossing the track near Habarana was run over by the same train involved in the February 20 accident that killed seven elephants. After that crash, officials imposed speed limits on trains passing through elephant habitats. No passengers were injured in the accident, which occurred some 110 miles by road east of the capital Colombo. Railway authorities said an investigation was underway, and engineers were trying to put the Colombo-Batticaloa train back on the track after the pre-dawn crash. The authorities had earlier announced changes to train timetables and efforts to clear shrubs from either side of the track to improve visibility for drivers, to give them more time to avoid hitting elephants. Wildlife officials have said that 139 elephants have been killed by trains over the past 17 years, since authorities began collecting such data. The government has also announced that 1,195 people and 3,484 elephants have been killed in the past decade due to the worsening human-elephant conflict on the island. Killing or harming elephants is a criminal offense in Sri Lanka, which has an estimated 7,000 wild elephants — considered a national treasure, partly due to their significance in Buddhist culture. However, the killings continue, as desperate farmers struggle with elephants raiding their crops and destroying livelihoods. Many elephants have been electrocuted, shot, or poisoned. Sometimes, explosive-laden fruits are used to maim the animals, often resulting in painful deaths. India, which has a wild elephant population more than twice as large as Sri Lanka, also deals with regular train-pachyderm collisions. India has lost about 200 elephants over the last decade to train accidents alone, and that's in addition to high number of deaths from poaching and accidental electrocutions. The Indian government has introduced measures to limit train speeds in dedicated elephant corridors, but campaigners say the rules are often poorly enforced. Earlier this year the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu became the first to launch an artificial intelligence and machine learning-enabled surveillance system to help prevent elephant deaths on railways.

Newark airport experiences another air traffic control outage
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a brief radio system outage at the Philadelphia air traffic control center responsible for handling flights at Newark Liberty International Airport. The FAA said the control center lost radio frequencies for two seconds at around 11:35 a.m. local time Monday. Despite the outage, all aircraft "remained safely separated," the FAA said in a statement to CBS News. The brief outage is the fourth such incident to take place at Newark Airport since April 28 amid persistent equipment and staffing issues. After the April incident, a second outage on May 9 lasting 90 seconds resulted in 450 flights in and out of Newark being delayed. Another 141 flights were canceled, although heavy rain was also partially responsible for the delays and cancellations. A third outage on May 11 also caused widespread delays. The Philadelphia air traffic control facility that handles flights at Newark is also experiencing a staffing shortage. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said earlier this month that upgrades to the nation's air traffic control system are underway. They include updating the system with new software and equipment in a revamp that will cost "tens of billions of dollars," according to Duffy. The White House has already allocated $12.5 billion toward modernizing the system.

Grizzly killed in Yellowstone after seeking food, flipping dumpsters
A 400-pound grizzly bear was trapped and killed by park staff in Yellowstone last week because it posed a risk to public safety in one of the Wyoming park's busiest areas, according to the National Park Service. The bear, an 11-year-old male grizzly, overturned bear-resistant dumpsters — some weighing 800 pounds — and pulled trash cans from their concrete bases in search of human garbage. It was able to access food and trash near Old Faithful, as well as near the Nez Perce Picnic Area and the Midway Geyser Basin parking lot, park officials said. "It's unfortunate that this bear began regularly seeking out garbage and was able to defeat the park's bear-resistant infrastructure," Kerry Gunther, Yellowstone bear management biologist, said. "We go to great lengths to protect bears and prevent them from becoming conditioned to human food. But occasionally, a bear outsmarts us or overcomes our defenses. When that happens, we sometimes have to remove the bear from the population to protect visitors and property." The park noted that Yellowstone provides "bear-resistant" food storage lockers at all campgrounds, as well as food storage devices at backcountry campsites, and "bear-resistant dumpsters and garbage cans." Officials also said the last time a bear was killed by park staff in "a management action" was in 2017, when it "removed" a grizzly bear after it damaged tents and got access to food at Heart Lake campsites. In 2023, another grizzly in the region was killed, after fatally mauling a woman on a forest trail west of Yellowstone and attacking a person in Idaho three years before that. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks shot that bear, a 10-year-old female grizzly, with approval from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Grizzly bears are protected in the U.S. as a threatened species and it is illegal to harm or kill them except in cases of self-defense or the defense of others, according to the fish and wildlife service. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, with Yellowstone National Park at its core, has been identified by the government agency as a "recovery zone" for grizzly populations.
