Mangroves support a significant amount of biodiversity and their soils can capture a great deal of carbon.
Governments, industrial and development companies and scientists need to take a leading role in finding strategic solutions to the cumulative threats impacting our freshwater ecosystems.
Carbon offsetting is often met with scepticism, but a new report suggests that if correctly designed it can be an important part of the net zero transition.
Dams prevent platypus movements, which restricts the exchange of genes essential to maintaining healthy populations.
To address the climate and biodiversity crises, we must stop criminalizing Indigenous Peoples for exercising their treaty rights and start upholding them instead.
Journals, museum collections and other historical sources can provide valuable data for modern ecological studies. But just because a source is old doesn’t make it useful.

The findings will help us better understand how biodiversity responds to a changing climate over time.
The role of beavers in safeguarding against our heating climate has become an interesting point of discussion. But just how important remains subject to debate.
The pet trade threatens to decimate some species – and dull nature’s colour palette.
