It’s not as well-known as the Hills Hoist clothesline, but here’s another Aussie invention worth celebrating: Glide poles are reconnecting severed landscapes for a special group of marsupials.
The Kenyan state has historically viewed forests in terms of production and economic development – not biodiversity and conservation.
In California, surfers say an otter is hassling them and stealing their surfboards. But does she really deserve recapture and life in captivity?
I have spent five years tracking down more than 10,000 accounts of wildlife by naturalists, travellers, historians and even poets, all written between 1529 and 1772
Drone use has increased dramatically, but what effect will this have on our endangered shorebirds? New research shows the eastern curlew is easily startled, prompting others to take flight.
Humans must kill animals in many cases, but they can still modify their behaviours to improve the welfare of animals while they are alive.
Great crested newts cause expensive delays to construction – trained sniffer dogs may offer a solution.
Zoos have the potential to do more for growing conservation science and practice.
A new survey finds Australians care deeply about the environment but many are not aware of the full extent of biodiversity loss.
Our experiments with the critically endangered Bail myna showed some birds are bolder than others.
A public survey found 86% of people want more space for nature in the city. The city council is already taking steps to add green space and increase biodiversity, which should boost public wellbeing.
Behavior-based interventions could boost conservation efforts, but raise their own set of tricky ethical issues.
Woylies bred in wildlife havens were smaller and less flighty than their counterparts in the wild. This could jeopardise the success of repopulation programs.

Take a moment to consider the natural beauty of mosses – and their history as some of the most intrepid explorers in Earth’s history.
The remoteness and small size of old-growth boreal trees should not make us forget their high ecological importance and the many threats they face.
Butterflies are sentinel species – their interactions with landscapes help scientists understand other insects better.
And you thought you were just going out for a beer.
