There are no more ivory-billed woodpeckers or Bachman’s Warblers on Earth, but they’ve left an echo behind.
Compassionate conservationists believe all animals have a right to be here, even introduced species like wild horses. Their vocal critics are avoiding vital ethical questions around conservation.
We showed for the first time that social disruption and trauma - such as culling of older elephants - has a lasting impact on the behaviour of African elephants.
Southern Tasmania’s cool climate was thought to be a climate refuge for tall forests. But that may no longer be true.
Artificial habitats are becoming more advanced, but they’re not a silver bullet.
A new study reveals the major players and routes involved.
Badgers are shy and nocturnal animals. It’s time to challenge false perceptions and end the cruelty towards this iconic mammal.
Threatened species don’t just live in national parks. Almost half of their distributions are on private land.
Conservation efforts can result in conflict between different interest groups, but outcomes could improve if we allowed a greater degree of public participation, beyond mere consultation.
The premise of ‘eco-friendly’ non-fungible tokens is shaky at best.
It’s only fair to expect results from vast sums of public money spent on koala conservation. But continued land clearing badly undermines the investment.
The numbat is one of the Tasmanian tiger’s closest surviving relatives. And its newly sequenced genome raises the possibility of piecing together the genetic code of its extinct fellow marsupial.
The hunting territories of wolves in the northern boreal forests are changing, in part due to the convenience of trails built for logging. This has placed caribou at an even greater risk.
New research finds the last 250 years has seen more than 100 million hectares of bird habitat destroyed on mainland Australia – that’s 15% of Australia’s landmass.
These wetland birds were eradicated in the 17th century, but breeding pairs returned in 1979.
New research finds Queensland’s laws fail to protect private conservation areas from the hidden impacts of mining on groundwater.
These iconic honeyeaters once ruled the flowering gum trees in massive numbers. But habitat loss means they’re on the edge of extinction.
The social, ecological and governance objectives of marine protected areas need to be understood to enhance benefits to both people and the environment.
A fundamental change in how North American zoos and aquariums are accredited supports their animal conservation and species survival work.
