Diminishing forests reduces the capacity of the Amazon and Cerrado to regulate rainfall patterns. That’s bad for communities, but also bad for business and global food security.
Carbon farming has its problems, but we shouldn’t write it off. After all, good projects can store carbon – and bring back habitat.
The waters of the St. Lawrence are running out of breath and bottom-dwelling organisms are already feeling the effects. Here’s how ecosystems are reacting.
Daily global temperature records keep breaking. It’s a sign we’re on a rapidly warming planet.
Climate denial is passe. But why do so many of us know the climate crisis is upon us – and live like it isn’t?
Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.
It’s been five years since school students first went on strike for climate action. Much has changed.
The production, use and end-of-life of clothing all have an impact on our health. But greater ecological awareness could turn the tide.
It’s still possible for Australia to cut emissions in line with holding climate change to 1.5°C. Here’s how.
Every living thing leaves traces in its environment. By sampling water or even air for this environmental DNA, we can know which species live where.

Wars are multiplying – and the damage these conflicts do isn’t just immediate. They leave long-term environmental damage
For a decade, debate has raged over Dark Emu’s account of Aboriginal agriculture. But ancient food production in Australia is more complex than labels like farming or hunter-gathering suggest.

‘Living materials’ made with genetically engineered bacteria and Jell-O-like gel could make pollutants in water bodies nontoxic.
One barrier to climate action has been our own psychology and reluctance to take action. But as the crisis intensifies, some of these barriers have evaporated.
Controlling invasive sea urchins is expensive. Why not make it profitable by fishing for them and selling their roe as a delicacy?
Giant eddy currents in the sea spread heat. But if trapped in place, they can cause marine heatwaves deadly to sea life. And there’s a big one shaping up off Sydney right now.
