More national, provincial, and state parks and protected marine areas are urgently needed to protect biodiversity and arrest an ongoing extinction crisis. But conservationists need to find better ways to link or tie these zones […]
Haosu Tang, University of Sheffield In the middle of the Antarctic winter, during months of darkness when temperatures often dip below −30°C, the continent warmed dramatically. In July and August 2024, temperatures in parts of […]
New research shows that small steps toward mangrove restoration can go a long way. Mangrove forests are among nature’s most critical habitats. The buttresses formed by the trees’ unique root systems serve as nurseries for […]
When life feels overwhelming, many people instinctively turn to nature. A walk in a park. Sitting by the ocean. Watching a sunset. Is this just a pleasant feeling, or is there something deeper at work? […]
By identifying and protecting the places where species can survive the longest, we can buy crucial decades for ecosystems –Guest article– The idea began in California’s Sierra Nevada, a towering spine of rock and ice […]
Tech companies want to scoop up key metals from the ocean floor to bypass China’s near monopoly. Conservationists fear the next environmental crisis. The tech industry needs critical minerals to survive and thrive. Some hard-to-find […]
The network of marine protected areas (MPAs) the world has created throughout the years is just as vulnerable to global warming as unprotected ocean zones, an Australian scientist is now warning. Though these MPAs are […]
The fastest retreat of an Antarctic glacier ever recorded spells trouble for the southernmost continent’s ice shelves. In a new paper, researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder reveal that a glacier in the […]
The world lost one of its greatest champions for conservation and wildlife habitat protection last week. Renowned primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall passed away naturally in Los Angeles, California, while traveling for public appearances. She […]
From unique wildlife to resilient microbes, world-changing climate dynamics to untapped biotechnological potential – four UNSW scientists outline what makes Antarctica a laboratory like no other. –Guest column– Earlier this year, UNSW Sydney PhD candidate […]
The infamous hole in the ozone layer is gradually healing up and closing and is on track to eventually be restored completely. That’s the update the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) put out earlier this week. […]
Rising temperatures threaten irreversible changes in Antarctica, threatening everyone. That’s the warning that scientists recently put out in a report published in Nature. In it, they lay out the case for why rising greenhouse gas concentrations in the […]
