Conservation practitioners and policymakers must organize and prioritize the management of habitats around whether species are more beneficial or harmful to biodiversity.
In some regions, foxes kill at least 1,000 animals per square kilometre every year.
The Earth is losing plants and animals at rates not seen in millions of years. Ecologists explain how protecting habitat on working lands – farms, forests and ranches – can help conserve species.
Wild ponies have lived in Britain for over 4,000 years, but they’re in danger of dying out.
Species counts drive conservation science and policy, yet a major component of biodiversity is excluded from the data: non-native species.
The latest update on the environment highlights that New Zealand has the world’s highest proportion of indigenous wildlife species either threatened or at risk of extinction.
