Beavers in our landscapes have great potential to provide small-scale adaptations to climate change – if humans can figure out how to live with them.
It’s usually good news when a once-scarce species starts to recover – unless it starts getting in humans’ way. An ecologist explains how science can help predict unwelcome encounters.
A farming community in north-west Spain may hold the answer to coexistence with wild carnivores.
Crop raiding is happening more often in the Masai Mara, in different places and at different times of the year.
India’s last cheetah was killed 70 years ago. Should the country import a different subspecies from Namibia?
