As Chile’s central mountain region warms, guanacos are wandering into trouble.
Most of Kenya’s biodiversity needs protecting outside protected areas in human‐dominated landscapes that are undergoing rapid change.
As the ultimate custodians, it is urgent that African countries with elephants take
ownership of the processes at CITES.
Once hunted into corners of North America, black bears have expanded across the continent since the early 1900s. But bears that end up living near people aren’t seeking close encounters.
Research on crocodile attacks can provide insights into when and where they attack, and who they attack.
Wolves are not bad – they’re just trying to survive in a world where they are unwelcome.
In Rwanda gorillas have been leaving protected areas to raid sodium rich crops.
Intense and extensive changes mean that the Serengeti-Mara area’s wildlife has an unsure future.
Polar bears ‘invading’ a Russian village have renewed concern over climate change in the Arctic, but human-wildlife conflicts are flaring up everywhere.
Conservation surveillance can generate fear and anger among local people.

Many mammals depend on large areas and trans-boundary conservation for their survival. When this is obstructed it can have a catastrophic impact on animal populations.
Elephants feeding on crops poses a challenge to their coexistence with humans. Farmers must introduce strategies to reduce losses and avoid lethal action against the endangered species.
