How a forest soundscape installation aims to help people make sense of forests and climate through listening, not screens.
Animals feature in sports club logos and become mascots, but their actual populations are declining. What if we turned this sporting attachment into concrete action?
Medium-density housing has limited green spaces, but even small planted patches can provide enough food and habitat to enhance urban biodiversity.
An ecologist at the IPCC for over 25 years, Camille Parmesan, who is also a refugee scientist, explains how to preserve biodiversity on a warming planet.
A new scientific technique can reveal if an animal has been taken from the wild, exposing the illegal wildlife trade.
Decades of experimentation revealed slow ecological processes and long-term interactions that have international scientific value.
Across Britain, ponds are quietly vanishing. Reviving them is one of the simplest ways to boost biodiversity and climate resilience.
In Borneo’s remote villages, locals earn money by recording wildlife — reshaping conservation and redefining how communities value their forests.
After years of failed attempts, Australia’s environmental laws are finally getting an overhaul. But will they stop the damage done to nature?
Is an organism a sum of its parts, or should they be considered as a whole? New research on ferns shows how the way scientists understand evolution affects how they study life.
Producing food has a climate cost. But it doesn’t have to. Farmers can cut emissions, boost nutrients and restore nature – while making their farms more resilient
The disaster should raise questions about how we fund, manage and protect these vulnerable habitats when climate change is outpacing conservation efforts.
Woody meadows can create green corridors in urban landscapes at much less cost than traditional methods. Now keen gardeners can plant their own.

The choices made in Brazil, where the COP30 UN climate conference takes place this month, have consequences for the entire planet.
Australia is among many countries working to protect and restore nature at scale. But long-awaited environmental law reforms won’t help much as they stand.
Natural spiderwebs are good at capturing DNA from the environment, but artificial webs are cheap and provide better control – without harm to spiders.
