A community of macaques in Japan has a high rate of disabled individuals who survive with behavioural flexibility and maternal care. Globally, primate disabilities are often related to human causes.
Large parts of Appalachia’s forests, once owned by coal companies, now make money for investors by storing carbon. But the results bring few jobs or sizable investments for residents.
On a small, remote island in the Pacific Ocean, an unlikely predator feasts on the world’s largest albatross colony. Researchers are trying to figure out how to stop these murderous mice.
We’ve brought some species back from the brink – but more and more are being threatened. Here’s why
Historian and complexity scientist, Dan Hoyer, examines why past societies collapsed when faced with crisis, while others founds ways to survive and flourish.
Governments that publicly commit to carbon pricing are compelled to get their own house in order.
Technological approaches could help reduce the carbon impact of artificial intelligence systems.
A hot, dry summer on the heels of a wet winter raises the risk of wildfires.
We’re going to build a lot more solar as we race to clean up the grid. But as the world heats up, solar will degrade faster in hot, humid areas. We need to plan ahead.
Recent research shows how reducing overfishing is both an ecological imperative and a critical means to addressing climate change.
You can donate to environmental charities and even purchase carbon offsets, but not having an additional child typically has a much greater impact.
In the worst-case scenario currently being mapped, Earth’s temperature could increase by 4.3°C before 2100. Southern African rhinos will have no possibility of surviving this unless parks act now.
Critics have described Ghana’s emissions tax as premature.
When we see false information circulating, we might move to debunk it. But prebunking lies and explaining manipulation techniques can work better.
