    There’s a huge wave rippling through our Galaxy, and scientists have no idea what’s causing it

    Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, has a giant wave rippling through it.

    This wave begins at the centre of the Galaxy and ripples outwards, like a cosmic stone being thrown into a galactic pond.

    Scientists just found real teeth growing on a fish’s head

    When it comes to teeth, most vertebrates share the same basic blueprint. Regardless of their size, shape, or sharpness, teeth typically have the same genetic roots, similar physical makeup, and, almost always, a place in the jaw.

    That assumption,…

  • ZTE reinforces commitment to a green digital future with “One Tree, One Future” program

    ZTE reinforces commitment to a green digital future with “One Tree, One Future” program

     

    Jakarta, Indonesia, October 16, 2025 – ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a leading global provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, today reinforced its commitment to environmental stewardship by launching the “One Tree, One Future” program. In collaboration with Lindungi Hutan, ZTE successfully planted 500 mangrove trees at the Mangrove Ecotourism Area in Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), Jakarta.

     

    The “One Tree, One Future” program underscores ZTE’s unwavering dedication to a sustainable future, directly supporting the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly efforts to protect ecosystems, mitigate climate change, and empower local communities. This initiative aligns with ZTE’s net-zero vision and the “Green Digital Path” strategy, fostering internal growth while also empowering industries to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. More detailed information on the company’s sustainability strategies and achievements can be found in the ZTE Corporation Sustainability Report 2024.

     

    “This program is a tangible manifestation of ZTE’s commitment to protecting the earth and building a sustainable future. Through collaboration with local communities and ecotourism managers, we hope each tree planted will become a symbol of hope and prosperity for the surrounding community. ZTE will continue to pursue initiatives that bring positive impact and align with the principles of sustainability and social responsibility,” said Richard Liang, President Director of ZTE Indonesia.

     

     

    The planting of Rhizophora mangroves took place across a dedicated area of 14,674 m² in the PIK Mangrove Ecotourism Area in Jakarta, a critical site that functions both as a green open space (RTH) and as a natural barrier against seawater intrusion. The 500 mangrove trees planted are estimated to absorb the equivalent of 4,000 kg of CO₂e, providing a real and measurable contribution to local climate change mitigation efforts. The collaboration between ZTE, Lindungi Hutan, ecotourism managers, and local communities will ensure sustainable management and long-term monitoring of the programme.

     

    Mangroves deliver crucial ecological and socio-economic benefits, uncluding fortifying shorelines against erosion and seawater intrusion to protect urban coasts like PIK, revitalizing habitats to support biodiversity, and creating socio-economic opportunities through environmental education, family recreation, and new sources of livelihood for local communities.

     

    The “One Tree, One Future” program is not merely a tree-planting activity, but also a symbol of hope for a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future. In fact, ZTE’s commitment to climate leadership is globally recognized: its near- and long-term targets under the SBTi net-zero criteria were validated, and for its exceptional climate action, the company achieved the prestigious CDP A List recognition in both 2023 and 2024. Moving forward, ZTE will build upon this local success, ensuring the continuous implementation and scaling of its “Tech for Good” mission across the globe.
