Global biodiversity declined between two and eleven per cent during the 20th century due to land-use change alone, according to a large multi-model study published in Science. Projections show that climate change could…
Natural forest regeneration is hailed as a cost-effective way to restore biodiversity and sequester carbon. However, the fragmentation of tropical forests has restricted the movement of large birds limiting their…
Seven new UN World Restoration Flagships include ecosystems at the tipping point of outright degradation resulting from wildfires, drought, deforestation and pollution. They are now eligible for technical and financial…
An international research team has examined the links between extreme drought, biodiversity and production losses at global level. With the aid of a world-wide experiment in 100 locations on six continents, they have…
Governments across the Global South invest heavily in agricultural development to combat poverty and hunger. But while crucial for improving the livelihoods of millions, agricultural development can undermine…
Biodiversity is critical for life on Earth. But human activity is damaging essential habitats. Our author looks at how invasive woody weeds are harming biodiversity in East Africa and how sustainable weed control…
A new study estimates that natural forest recovery could capture approximately 226 gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon, but only if we also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving these results requires community-driven efforts…
In a survey on the impacts of rainforest clearing on mosquitos and their viruses, scientists have demonstrated that the destruction of tropical rainforests reduces the diversity of mosquito species. At the same time,…
The establishment and preservation of protected areas is a key measure for achieving the goals set during the World Conference on Nature in December 2022. Since available land and funds for conservation are limited,…
