SÃO PAULO, Aug. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (Brasil DNA, a project organized by Global Vision Access) - Known worldwide for its spectacular waterfalls, impressive cascades, and rich biodiversity, Iguassu Falls is one of Brazil’s most iconic nature destinations. While the Iguassu Falls are naturally at the top of most visitors’ itineraries, the region offers another perspective for travelers looking to experience its landscapes, history, and natural beauty: exploring its rivers.

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are widely known as essential pollinators, but researchers using a "One Health" approach have also identified them as biological sentinels of environmental health. Honey bees continuously interact with their surrounding environment through the collection of nectar, pollen and water and can therefore be exposed to contaminants present in agricultural and natural ecosystems. Their health may consequently provide valuable information about environmental pressures affecting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

THE Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Forest Management Bureau (DENR-FMB) is moving to equip Cagayan Valley with a near-real-time forest disturbance alert system aimed at detecting threats to forests and biodiversity faster than current monitoring methods allow.

Science News: In a groundbreaking experiment, US scientists released 12 liters of red dye into Missouri's Big Piney River to visualize the movement of environmental DNA (eDNA) downstream, elucidating how genetic traces travel through flowing water and aiding biodiversity monitoring.

A young boy discovered a previously unknown spider species on a remote Australian island. Scientists later identified the tiny wolf spider as Artoriopsis murphyi. Its reproductive structures helped distinguish it from closely related species. The discovery highlights Australia's rich biodiversity and the challenges involved in documenting new species. Although harmless to humans, the spider was celebrated for its scientific significance and the young boy's contribution to research.

Universities and biodiversity institutes have hidden treasures: their collections of pressed plant specimens. These plants have been flattened, dried and mounted on special cardboard sheets. Some were collected centuries ago. They hold information about where species occur and how ecosystems have changed over time.

Can DNA traces in just two liters (0.5 gallons) of water reveal how a river's biodiversity changes over the course of a year? A study by the University of Duisburg-Essen using the River Lippe as an example shows how biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems can be monitored comprehensively, efficiently and at comparatively low cost. The results have now been published in the journal Ecological Indicators.

Soil is the foundation of our food supply. It stores water, carbon and nutrients and is home to a large share of the world's biodiversity. More than half of global biodiversity is estimated to live below ground. Yet biodiversity, and with it soil health, is declining worldwide, with consequences for agriculture, food security and the functioning of entire ecosystems.
