The hunting territories of wolves in the northern boreal forests are changing, in part due to the convenience of trails built for logging. This has placed caribou at an even greater risk.

To many of us trophy hunting is repellent. But here’s a look at why killing wild animals might be pleasurable to some.
While species are and will be affected everywhere by climate change, those already living in a warm climate will reach their tolerance threshold faster.
Rhino horn consumers have a strong preference for wild rhino horn.
Forests around the world will need to shift their ranges to adapt to climate change. But many trees and plants rely on animals to spread their seeds widely, and those partners are declining.
It’s usually good news when a once-scarce species starts to recover – unless it starts getting in humans’ way. An ecologist explains how science can help predict unwelcome encounters.
A fundamental change in how North American zoos and aquariums are accredited supports their animal conservation and species survival work.
What if we could help threatened marsupials evolve to survive foxes and feral cats?
No country has a higher diversity of sharks than Australia. That means we have a special responsibility to protect them.
The paradise parrot was rediscovered by Cyril Jerrard, a Queensland grazier, in December 1921. But its return was fleeting.
There’s enormous value in citizen science projects that encourage urban-dwellers to learn about what is often, quite literally, on their doorsteps.
Swifts, house martins and greenfinches are the newest arrivals to the UK red list.
Without changes, many birds will continue to decline or be lost altogether. But when conservation action is well resourced and implemented, we can turn the trend around.
The presence of a vulnerable species in Ekor Waterfalls, Nigeria, is a signal that the area could support other rare or threatened species.
There are so few wild ocelots in the US that the cats are becoming inbred, with a bad prognosis for their ultimate survival. But researchers are perfecting ways to get new genes into the population.
It’s been 80 years since the last undisputed sighting of the striking black-and-white bird. The U.S. government believes the ivory-billed woodpecker is extinct — but many will keep searching for it.
If we all collect and understand scientific data as citizens, we’ll be a step closer to a society able to make better collaborative decisions.
Nearly all species of sharks and rays are captured in fishing operations. But research shows that fishing quotas and closing some areas to fishing can help rebuild threatened populations.
We analysed the legal systems regulating the wildlife trade in China. Here’s what we found.
The Biden administration is restoring full protection to three national monuments that President Trump sought to cut down drastically.
