2. An otter found in a tributary of the Han River… ‘Stool plastic’
An otter, an endangered species and a natural monument, was discovered in the Han River. Yesterday, the Jungnangcheon Environmental Center and two civic groups announced that they had identified several otters in three branches of the Han River. As a result of this survey led by civic groups from November 1, 2020 to early January 2021, it is reported that otters have scars all over the body, and the habitat environment is poor, with styrofoam and desiccant coming out of their excrement. As the number of otters decreases, they are designated as endangered species and are protected. In general, it lives only in grade 1 water, and it is the highest predator in the river and is an indicator species that shows the health of the river ecosystem. The investigation team said, “It is the first time that it has been identified in the tributary,” and appealed that “a close investigation and protection measures should be established.”
3.’Tesla CEO’ Musk… Became’the richest man in the world’
Elon Musk, founder and chief executive officer of Tesla, an American electric vehicle company, has become the richest man in the world. Yesterday in local time, according to Bloomberg News, Musk’s net worth was found to be $1088.5 billion, and about 206 trillion won in our money. Meanwhile, Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos has maintained the No. 1 position with a net worth of 184 billion dollars and our money of about 201 trillion won. However, as the Democratic Party of the United States won the elections and there are expectations that regulations will be tightened, the rise in Amazon stock prices has recently slowed. In the meantime, Tesla’s share price has risen, placing Musk at the top. Until the beginning of last year, Musk was ranked 50th in the world’s richest man rankings. Since then, Tesla’s stock has soared more than seven times, rising to the top. Meanwhile, Musk said, “We want to contribute as much capital as possible to the city of Mars” in relation to the management of the property.
