Victorian grassland earless dragon was once common west of Melbourne but numbers declined due to habitat loss and predators such as feral cats

Before the colonists came, we managed the land with careful use of cool burns. To stop giant bushfires, we have to learn again how to care for country.

Researchers tracked 2,300 wild mammals during the strict 2020 lockdowns and found they moved 73% further than in the previous year.

Between April and May, the birch pollen season is in full swing. Eyes water, throats sting, noses run: doctors call these immune reactions "allergic rhinitis." In France, nearly one adult in three is said to suffer from a pollen allergy, according to the French National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES).

Data from 123 sites across all continents, including Antarctica, show mosses affect all major soil functions critical for sustaining life on Earth.

Researchers have just calculated the value society gets from a common but hidden underwater resource, and found it's way higher than we ever expected.

The dodo's genome has been sequenced from a DNA sample, but that's just the first hurdle to overcome in bringing a species back from the dead

The population of endangered monarch butterflies wintering in Mexico's Michoacan dropped by 22% in just one year.

Everything in nature—flowering, breeding, migration—lives and dies by a clock that is being recalibrated by climate change. We don’t yet know how severe the consequences may be.

The total weight of Earth’s wild land mammals – from elephants to bisons and from deer to tigers – is now less than 10% of the combined tonnage of men, women and children living on the planet. A study by scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science, published this month, concludes that wild land mammals alive today have a total mass of 22m tonnes. By comparison, humanity now weighs in at a total of around 390m tonnes.

Scientists studying the Permian-Triassic mass extinction find ecosystems can suddenly tip over

The possibility that communication networks of fungi exist connecting forest ecosystems in a 'wood-wide web' has increasingly gained attention among researchers in recent decades.

Thanks to the ESA, at least 227 species have been saved from extinction and 110 species have seen a tremendous recovery including American alligators, bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and humpback whales.

Some species of carnivorous pitcher plant, Nepenthes, have switched from capturing and digesting insects to absorbing animal poop for their daily dose of nutrients – and it's a switch that's proving very beneficial.

Keeping track of the world’s wildlife populations is fundamental to conservation efforts in the face of the continued deterioration of global biodiversity. But some species are harder to study than others. Some aquatic species, for instance, elude detection because they are extremely rare and sparsely distributed.

Nature supports life on Earth. We have a commitment anew to heal her.

The animals were released into Aussie Ark’s 400-hectare Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary

A group of researchers at the University of British Columbia got to work locating, measuring and then evaluating a number of these overpasses to see how different dimensions impact how effective an overpass is at encouraging wildlife to cross.

Experts describe it as a ‘beautiful endemic rainforest species’, one of several that have not been seen for decades

Vanua Levu is being overrun by invasive vines – and the increasing number of natural disasters, brought on by climate change, is only making things worse
