The SUPERB project, part of the EU’s Horizon programme, aims to restore thousands of hectares of forest landscape across Europe.
Scientists have been debating the start of the Anthropocene Epoch for 15 years. I was part of those discussions, and I agree with the vote rejecting it.
Translocation may have been the key to survival for the eastern barred bandicoot but it might not be the golden ticket for every species.
The nutritional needs of bees are complex and monoculture crops aren’t providing a diverse diet. Introducing more diverse wildflower meadows and green spaces could benefit wild pollinators.
For years, Australia and New Zealand have been united in working for sustainable fishing in the South Pacific. That just changed.
Effective use of genomic identification could revolutionize the control of the illegal timber trade.
From sacrificial bark to fire-germinating gumnuts to stealthy buds the eucalyptus has evolved an arsenal of protective measures.
We’ve brought some species back from the brink – but more and more are being threatened. Here’s why
The ‘20°C effect’ could give us new insights into how temperature controls ecosystems and influences evolution – as well as how species might adapt to climate change.
Recent research shows how reducing overfishing is both an ecological imperative and a critical means to addressing climate change.
England’s new ‘biodiversity net gain’ policy is ambitious, but researchers have identified flaws and loopholes.
Australia has already lost so many wonderful mammal species. Do we want the southern greater glider to suffer the same fate?
Integrating local and Indigenous knowledge into conservation can help to support diverse diets without compromising biodiversity goals.
Survey respondents overwhelmingly prioritised saving a human life – even if that person had been repeatedly told to evacuate and even if, as a consequence, a snail or shrub species became extinct.
Wildebeest herds churning dust. Sturgeon seeking spawning grounds. Shorebirds flying from Siberia. These iconic animal migrations could soon be a memory.
A Harry Potter nightwalk experience at a wildlife sanctuary on the Mornington Peninsula has raised concern for wildlife. Evidence suggests the fears are well-founded.
Canada is wasting resources, and legitimacy, conserving species that are not endangered elsewhere. Transparent cross-border considerations should inform all new conservation laws.
The six-year-late UK national action plan for the sustainable use of pesticides is finally due but experts doubt it will be radical enough.
Trophy fishing is a big threat to some of the most threatened species of fish, but there are ways to adapt the sport with marine conservation in mind.
