We are working with conservation charity Space for Giants to protect wildlife at risk from poachers due to the conservation funding crisis caused by Covid-19. Help is desperately needed to support wildlife rangers, local communities and law enforcement personnel to prevent wildlife crime

There is a place in Africa where two ancient predators come face to face - the shark and the crocodile. Usually worlds apart the two are forced to share the waters of a cozy bay and compete for the same prize. For many of the inhabitants this is a dangerous land. For a young crocodile life is particularly challenging. This is his story - a journey into predator bay.

Humans as a species are adept at using numbers, but our mathematical ability is something we share with a surprising array of other creatures.

Scientists have rebuilt the population of Burmese roofed turtles to nearly 1,000 individuals and counting.

The birds found dead in the south-west since August could number in the millions, researchers say.

A researcher fed beetles to frogs. The encounter did not end as expected.

The National Park Service has warned against sacrificing slower friends in a bear attack ‘even if the friendship has run its course’

Photosynthesis in conifer forests is one of the most important carbon sinks on a global scale. Unlike broadleaf trees, conifers are evergreen and retain their photosynthesis structure throughout the year. Especially in late winter, the combination of freezing temperatures and high light intensity exposes the needles to oxidative damage that could lead to the destruction of molecules and cell structures that contribute to photosynthesis. Researchers from the University of Turku have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that enables spruce trees to adapt to winter.

The beloved Morgan Freeman is film director, philanthropist, and one of the greatest actors of our time, and he now has another title being attributed to his name; Beekeeper.

A look at what would happen if humans disappeared from Earth. How would ecology adapt and change to cope with the lack of human beings, and what will the earth look like into a future without humans.

In 2014, Giles Nicholson was battling the growing year from hell. A mild winter followed by a warm, wet spring had turbocharged a ferocious mass of cow parsley, nettles and dense grass along the hundreds of miles of road his team maintains for Dorset council. Austerity meant there was barely enough money to pay for repeated cuttings to hold back the matted swards. Complaints poured in about messy roadsides.

Over the past few months, massive swarms of locusts, one of which occupied an area more than three times the size of New York City, have devoured crops across the Horn of Africa and the Middle East, leaving an estimated 20 million people at risk of famine. The first generation’s eggs are starting to hatch, and now even bigger swarms are forming, threatening countries from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Yemen, Iran, Pakistan and India, “representing an unprecedented threat to food security and livelihoods,” says the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

You’re staying inside, but you can still enjoy the cuddly creatures of the natural world.

The entwined roots of Indian rubber trees form bridges that—unlike steel structures—grow more durable with time.

Scientists say insects are vital and the losses worrying, with accelerating declines in Europe called ‘shocking’

Here are 10 biodiversity stories that provided a glimmer of hope this year

The coronavirus pandemic that has caused the human race largely to retreat inside their homes is creating a new world for animals, both in the wild and in controlled places like zoos. Herds, schools and flocks of animals are making the most of their new-found freedom.

When it comes to moving home, hermit crabs are experts, often swapping shells for the optimal abode. But now researchers have found that exposure to microplastics disrupts this key behaviour. The finds are the latest to suggest such pollution could be having an impact on the world’s marine creatures.

One researcher calls it "botanical sexism."

Not by themselves, but the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive is out to show how they can help.
