For the Kamilaroi of north-western New South Wales, the brolga and bittern are vital to culture. But conservation often doesn’t account for cultural knowledge or significance.
Conservative, socialist or nationalist, what’s best for biodiversity? The results may surprise you. We studied 165 nations, examining threatened species numbers and the extent of protected areas.
There is ample evidence showing Indigenous Peoples and their territories are essential to the world’s biodiversity. We don’t need an unsupported statistic to prove it.
A torrid few years of widespread disease have pushed several species closer to extinction.
With 88% of its native fauna gone, the Mediterranean took 1.7 million years to recover from the worst extinction event in its history.
Wherever humans set foot, they bring with them invasive exotic species. Some animals and plants that are particularly useful to humans are now found all around the globe.
The two leading supporters of the ‘inclusive wealth’ metric, the UNEP and World Bank, can’t agree on how it should be measured.
Engaging and scientifically accurate children’s books on Australian animals are sorely lacking. Fostering more collaboration between authors and scientists can enrich children’s literature.
Canadians are no strangers to cold winters, when everything in nature appears to be frozen solid. However, under the ice cover of lakes, many animals remain active during the winter.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Convention on Biological Diversity are separate platforms, but climate change and biodiversity loss urgently require a joint approach.
Three years ago, Australia pledged to end deforestation by decade’s end. But land clearing continues due to legal exemptions and a lack of enforcement
Nature can provide solutions to problems such as biodiversity loss and climate change. But the best nature-based solutions are resilient to disturbance such as fire or drought and future change.
Spotlight on Australia’s ‘nature positive’ environmental reforms: last chance for this parliament to get serious about halting the decline of nature.
By listening to the “heartbeat” or soundscape of soil, we can learn more about its condition. Think of poor soil as a lifeless party. Healthy soil is where you’ll find the good vibes and chatter.
Rewilding is helping to save species from the brink of extinction. But reintroducing species to islands or fenced havens have limitations. What if we could use flat topped mesas as well?
New research shows that solar farms can boost biodiversity and benefit nature under the right policies and appropriate management.
Australia’s largest oil and gas company wants to drill for gas under a pristine coral reef.
One of the most serious marine heatwaves on record hit the Great Barrier Reef last summer. Now a new report shows that coral cover was high before the impacts of cyclones and mass bleaching.
In Canada, groundwater is generally abundant and lakes are ubiquitous. But the exchanges between groundwater and lakes are complex and often invisible.
