All the evidence – colonial accounts and records, First Peoples’ testimony and scientific data – points to the existence of widespread tall, dense forests 250 years ago.
The Himalayas are a beautiful and fragile ecosystem that both humans and non-humans have relied upon for millennia. Protecting them will require careful conservation efforts.
Overall, coastal habitat restoration greatly increases animal numbers and diversity. But not all projects deliver the goods and we need to find out why.
We think of laughing kookaburras as common in Australia and their call certainly lets us know when they’re about. But several factors are driving down their numbers.
The scarcity of bat fossils is more than a palaeontological puzzle: it has implications for bat conservation strategies today.
As climate change threatens their food supply, migratory birds may find help in an unlikely place.
Whether people are hunters can have a big effect.
Young sharks are gathering at a popular beach. Here’s why we should skip our fear response and go for wonder – and protection
