Without insect pollination, many plant species – including crops – cannot reproduce. Bumble bees are of particular importance, but as new research shows, their livelihood could be affected by malnutrition. Bees are an important...
As forest areas shrink and become fragmented, many tree species face problems. They often rely on animals that can no longer disperse their seeds effectively. Biodiversity loss is the biggest environmental problem we face...
Arctic researchers want you to know that each metric ton of CO2 causes a loss of 3 m2 of September sea-ice area. We all know we should fly less as a way to reduce...
Botanists from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that evergreen species such as Christmas favourites, holly and ivy, are more climate-ready in the face of warming temperatures than deciduous trees like birch and oak. Theory...
A researcher in Switzerland has developed an intelligent algorithm that uses satellite and drone images of rainforests to predict where the next sites of deforestation will occur. He presented his research at the climate...
An international team of researchers have assessed the effects of polar warming. They warn that the consequences are expected to reach far beyond the polar regions. With 2019 on pace as one of the...
An alliance of conservationists and researchers is converting oil palm plantations into near-natural rainforests on Borneo. The conversion will restore the high biodiversity of the tropical rainforests on Borneo in Malaysia by establishing a...
Climate change is reorganizing the life in our oceans in a big way: as waters warm, cold-loving species, from plankton to fish, leave the area and warm water species become more successful. So say...
A new study has confirmed that trees, parks and gardens near residential homes in cities can prevent premature deaths. Researchers from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) have conducted the largest ever study...
Scientists have found a link between melting Arctic sea ice and the emergency of a virus that is deadly to sea lions, ice seals, sea otters and other marine mammals in the North Pacific....
Filmmaker Erwin Wagenhofer doesn’t make it easy for himself. In his latest film But Beautiful, he seeks the beautiful and the good, and shows people breaking new ground. What could a satisfying life look...
3D-printed artificial corals could help the animals that live in coral reefs withstand or recover from bleaching caused by warmer water temperatures, finds a new study. Warmer water temperatures are leading to a rise...
The 15th Zürich Film Festival was not only green because of its carpet. The green theme kicked off with the film Bruno Manser – Voice of the Rainforest, followed by another gala premiere Watson...
New research from Australia shows that bolder actions to protect coral reefs from the effects of global warming will benefit all ecosystems, including those on land. According to two researchers from the ARC Centre...
Acting to reduce climate change now will cost much less than the damage otherwise inflicted by climate change in the future, argue an internationally respected group of scientists. Scientists from around the world published...
Commonly used plastics can affect earthworms, plant growth and the pH of soil, finds a new study. New research from Anglia Ruskin University has found that the presence of microplastics can stunt the growth...
The Brazilian Amazon is experiencing its worst forest fires in over a decade. President Bolsonaro is to blame for his loosening of forest protection and encouragement of slash and burn practices, clearing land for...
The Asian city-state is proof that integrated urban planning is the key to creating sustainable, attractive and liveable cities, says Xiao Wu from the World Bank. Xiao Wu, who works in the Social, Urban,...
Marine heatwaves are a much bigger threat to coral reefs than previously thought, as new research reveals a previously unrecognized impact of climate change on coral reefs. A new study by a team of...
Playing a Pokémon-like card game about ecology and biodiversity can result in a better understanding of ecosystems than traditional teaching methods, according to new research from the University of British Columbia. The Phylo Trading...
