Many seabird colonies around UK coastlines struggle to breed because the sandeels they feed on have been overfished. The upcoming closure of sandeel fisheries will be good news for marine wildlife.
In California, El Niño helped fuel a wet 2023 and early 2024.

Australia’s clean energy transition cannot succeed unless the government opens debate and decision-making to many more voices.
The combined impact of increasing temperatures (2 to 8°C by 2100) and forest development in the mixed boreal forest could modify the growth and distribution of temperate species.

Research shows that the distribution of temperate hardwoods (sugar maple, red maple and yellow birch) could be shifting northward, which would have serious consequences for the boreal forest.
One set of ideas runs counter to the mainstream consensus that technology will save us from climate change. Can degrowth ever win enough converts to persuade humanity to change course?

Ancient texts are still teaching us new things about the prevalence of wildlife.
A better understanding of the interactions between snow cover and forest will help improve hydrological models and thus ensure public protection against flooding.
