To give native species their best chance of survival, we have to embrace ecosystem-based conservation – rather than trying to rescue individual species in isolation.

Protecting old and mature trees is the simplest and least expensive way to pull carbon out of the atmosphere – but proposed logging projects threaten mature stands across the US.
Recent advancements in the ways organizations measure sustainability performance could lead to a truly authentic approach to sustainability in the business sector.
Children and teenagers can add to our knowledge of the natural world through citizen science projects.
Victoria’s critically endangered Leadbeater’s possum is just hanging on, despite new plans and reserves aimed at protection. Plans to log some of its remaining habitat will not help
The findings suggest cold-blooded animals will be even hotter and hungrier in a warmer world than previously thought. This may increase their extinction risk.
Researchers encourage citizen scientists to contribute to datasets on animal deaths caused by infrastructure. This will inform efforts to reduce the human impact on biodiversity.
The largest birds that ever lived on Earth, elephant birds have a spotty fossil record. But understanding them could help protect Madagascar’s biodiversity.
Dozens of threatened Australian species are back from the brink. But many are reliant on fenced-off safe havens and could not survive the feral predators of the wild. True safety is harder
Conservation practitioners and policymakers must organize and prioritize the management of habitats around whether species are more beneficial or harmful to biodiversity.
Offering ‘carrots’ like biodiversity credits to landholders won’t stop natural collapse. Banning land clearing and stronger environmental laws are much more likely to work.
Dozens of species have been coaxed back from oblivion, with fenced havens, conserved habitat, islands and feral predator control vital.
From pine trees to camphor laurel and even the Cootamundra wattle, trees can be weeds too.
New research from China shows how the loss of insects is destabilising food webs.
Critically endangered grasslands and productive farmland in NSW would be cleared to lay the Hunter Gas Pipeline.
The swamp has not yet been drained everywhere.
More than 60% of global intact forest loss is unrelated to farming, our research shows
To guard against extinction, we must advocate for common species.
Tinkering around the margins of English farms won’t benefit biodiversity, research suggests.
Your super is likely exposed to major nature-based risks. How big a risk? We don’t know - because to date, banks and super funds haven’t looked into it. But that’s likely to change
