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.
Outdoor recreation is booming across the US, but research shows that the presence of humans – or the trails they hike and ski on – can have harmful effects on wildlife at less-than-close range.
