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 […]

PMC revives Pune’s Peshwe Park–Parvati ropeway plan; citizens cite traffic, parking and biodiversity concerns as consultant prepares DPR and feasibility report.

Dietary biodiversity measures the range of species consumed and is associated with better micronutrient adequacy and, in some observational studies, lower mortality and gastrointestinal cancer risk. Researchers are investigating whether greater plant variety provides health benefits independently of food quantity and overall diet quality.

BIODIVERSITY is easy to overlook until the systems it supports begin to fail. The food on our tables, the water we depend on, the livelihoods built around farms and fisheries, and even industries such as tourism are all connected to it.

A proud moment for Odisha’s biodiversity, researchers have discovered a rare new species of scorpion in the famous Similipal National Park and Tiger Reserve. The species has been named Liocheles similipalensis after the forest where it was found.

At the Siswan dam in Punjab, a desiltation project underway since December 2024 has not only augmented water flows into the dam’s eastern flank, but, by design or otherwise, altered the habitat in favour of biodiversity

Tropical ecosystems are famous for their teeming, exuberant diversity. In fact, the dramatic increase in biodiversity from the poles to the tropics—known as the latitudinal diversity gradient—is pervasive across branches of the tree of life, and fossil evidence suggests it has existed for millennia.

Armed with dozens of motion-sensing cameras, William Grooms spent this past summer documenting wildlife across Carson National Forest in northern New Mexico. It was his first field season collecting photos for a two-year study to understand how forest structure influences biodiversity in the Southern Rocky Mountains.
