Under pressure from a changing climate, vineyards are finding natural ways to fortify their soil and protect water supplies, showing conservation and farming can thrive together.

A biodiversity crisis is unfolding across the planet, but the deep sea was thought immune and even a refuge for marine life. New research led by Florida International University scientists and published in Nature Communications suggests that assumption may be alarmingly wrong.

Haryana’s Haritima programme will take Classes 6-10 students to Aravalis for nature camps and guided forest learning on biodiversity and conservation in 2026-27.

Researchers at the University of Tartu have shown that everyday cameras can create detailed, explorable 3D models of plants, giving botanical gardens and museums an affordable way to document and preserve living collections. The study, by Toivo Aukusti Ylinampa and Urmas Kõljalg, was published in the Biodiversity Data Journal.

October sees rare migratory birds returning to Tiruchi, boosting biodiversity with 300+ species and highlighting climate-change-driven patterns.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — More than a century’s worth of knowledge and information on tropical forest biodiversity and science from the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM)...

Today, tropical waters typically host a wider range of marine animals than polar waters. This decline in marine biodiversity from the equator toward the North and South poles is known as the latitudinal diversity gradient.

A major salt marsh restoration project at Great Meadows Marsh in Connecticut is showing promising results for coastal wildlife and biodiversity. After a $4.65 million rehabilitation effort, the 34-acre wetland has seen the return of endangered saltmarsh sparrows and the growth of native marsh plants. The project highlights how wetland restoration, coastal conservation and habitat recovery can protect biodiversity, reduce flood risks and create healthier ecosystems amid rising sea levels.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At the recently concluded 17th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP17) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, a special screening event-jointly presented by the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment and Shanghai Media Group-focused on urban ecological governance and prompted deep reflection among the international delegates in attendance. The nature and human-interest documentary My City Neighbours transcends national borders, presenting the world with a 'Shanghai solution'-a model for how a megacity can coexist in harmony with nature. Although the event has concluded, the ripples it stirred on the international stage-centered on the theme of 'cross-disciplinary symbiosis'-continue to spread and evolve.

Five new free-living nematode species discovered in Keralam mangrove sediments highlight hidden coastal biodiversity and conservation needs.

Author summary Iridoviruses are emerging pathogens which cause high mortality rates in the aquaculture industry, and significantly threaten global biodiversity. Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is a pathogenic DNA virus which caused high mortality in juvenile grouper. This study demonstrated that SGIV VP018 hijacked fish specific TRIM (FTR) from grouper (EcFTR86) and acted synergistically to promote viral replication. Mechanistically, lysosome localized EcFTR86 functioned as a pro-viral factor upon SGIV replication and negatively regulated interferon (IFN) response triggered by the STING-TBK1 axis. Moreover, EcFTR86 interacted and degraded STING or TBK1 via Tollip-mediated autophagy-lysosome-dependent pathway. Interestingly, SGIV VP018 was identified to hijack EcFTR86 to accelerate the degradation of STING and TBK1, thereby abrogating the IFN response for efficient replication. Our findings provide the first evidence that fish iridovirus exploited FTR86 to negatively regulate IFN response through Tollip-mediated degradation of the STING-TBK1 axis.

KARACHI - Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab on Wednesday said that various projects are underway to provide recreational facilities to citizens and beautify Karachi

Chennai: Tamil Nadu Climate Change Mission to train 100+ teachers in three-day climate literacy modules on climate impacts, solutions, biodiversity and sustainability.

Nayab Singh Saini said Haryana's crop portal had made fertiliser distribution more transparent and curbed black marketing. He also outlined MSP procurement, diversification incentives, natural farming measures and water conservation plans.

Urban rivers are valuable and should be thought of not as tamed nature, but as dynamic climate and biodiversity lifelines

ZonationR is a new tool that simplifies the use of Zonation to identify priority areas for biodiversity conservation. It brings all stages of the conservation planning analysis together in one automated and reproducible workflow and helps users systematically explore and compare alternative conservation scenarios.

Four years ago, the United Nations Biodiversity Conference in Montreal adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, hailed at the time as the "Paris agreement for nature". But the first assessment of the framework's implementation, released at October's UN Biodiversity Conference (COP17) in Yerevan, makes for sobering reading. The State of Biodiversity Action report finds that while nearly 90% of countries have set targets to protect 30% of land and sea areas, restore 30% of degraded ecosystems, and halt human-caused extinctions, fewer than half of the assessed targets are on track to be met by 2030.

Hundreds of representatives from the world’s most powerful industry bodies representing sectors that harm, or exploit, the natural world were present on the ground at the October nature summit in Armenia, DeSmog can reveal. This year, the UN’s Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) moved to reduce public scrutiny over corporate presence, stripping company affiliations from […]

India’s Samudrayaan mission aims to send three aquanauts 6,000 metres underwater by 2028, opening up new possibilities for deep-sea research, marine biodiversity studies and critical mineral exploration.

Established by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation in 1990, the 78-hectare reserve remains an important site for biodiversity conservation, environmental education and ecotourism in Lagos.
