From discovering hidden populations of vulnerable newts to dropping “seed bombs”, two new research papers show how genomics and drones help restore threatened ecosystems.
Solar panels and electric cars come with their own environmental trade-offs like increased mining and extraction.
The world is facing one of the century’s biggest challenges: How to nutritiously feed the growing population, address climate change and not destroy the ecosystems on which we all depend for life.

Fire season is getting longer, and the result is transforming iconic desert ecosystems. The start to 2022 has been so dire, one governor called for a federal disaster declaration.
Climate change is modifying the timing of recurrent life-cycle events with critical consequences on ecological and economic levels.
Nigeria should urgently protect three freshwater ecosystems as these undisturbed environments are becoming rare globally.
The growing season on the tundra is starting earlier as the planet warms, but the plants aren’t sequestering more carbon, a new study finds.
As climate change pressures intensify, ecosystems may lose their ability to bounce back from disasters.
Plants communicate with the fungi on their roots, but the effects on the ecosystem of deliberately adding fungi as a fertilizer are unknown — and might be harmful.
Reforestation programmes should consider the parasitic relationship between mistletoes and their hosts and their ecological benefits for bird diversity.
Ecosystems thrive in places where human connections with nature go back generations.
The insecticide Bti kills target organisms like mosquitoes and blackflies, but new research shows it may also have negative effects on non-target species like frogs.
Urban ecosystem services sustain life but aren’t well protected.
The progressively earlier flowering places the daisies at greater risk of failed flowering seasons. This would be a blow to biodiversity and tourism.
The social, ecological and governance objectives of marine protected areas need to be understood to enhance benefits to both people and the environment.
A staggering 85% of the world’s chalk streams are found in England.
Cave-specific conservation and protection actions are essential to protect cave habitats for the continued survival of bats, and ultimately, the well-being of humans.
