The giant sea bass fishery collapsed long ago in the US, but that didn’t mean the species was endangered. New research shows these iconic fish have been thriving south of the border.
Raising monarch butterflies is a popular hobby, but concerns have been raised about its contribution to population decline. Research shows that monarchs raised in captivity are still able to join the migration.
Even in small, densely populated countries, reintroducing large wildlife is possible.
White-nose syndrome has wiped out millions of bats in North America, pushing researchers to look at alternative roosts like bat boxes. But the U.S. bat box designs may not suit Canadian bats.
The Convention on Biological Diversity aims to achieve a world “living in harmony with nature”. This won’t happen if the plan goes ahead in its current form.
Outdoor recreation is booming across the US, but research shows that the presence of humans – or the trails they hike and ski on – can have harmful effects on wildlife at less-than-close range.
Most of Madagascar’s conservation and research projects are conceptualised and funded from abroad.
In the past, wildlife vigilantes have illegally moved Tasmanian devils off the island — an illegal practice known as “covert rewilding”. They may well might try again.
Sat-navs could one day warn motorists when they drive through high-risk areas.
Warm-blooded fish can swim 1.6 times faster than their cold-blooded relatives.
Given the scale of the problem, five years was never enough time to turn things around. Clearly, we must reflect honestly on our successes and failures so far.
Oil spills, cracked buildings and pollution. Just some of the environmental effects of Kenya’s massive railway project.
Determining the age of fish has been historically difficult, primarily involving lethal methods. A new DNA test solves this problem.
A bewildering array of laws and regulations cover species and ecosystems in Canada, making their protection inadequate.
Studying how elephants move can give clues into how they can be better managed to conserve their populations.
Research suggests our names for birds reflect our changing relationship with the natural world: here’s why that matters
Tassie devils are notorious scavengers, eating everything from echidnas to stranded whales. Understanding how their teeth wear down can help us feed and protect captive populations.
The bacteria which causes the infection in yellow-eyed penguins is closely related to a human pathogen.
Ancient climate change doomed the monk seals that lived in Australian waters millions of years ago.
