London Tree Ring project aims to create corridors of plant and animal life around the city to strengthen its biodiversity

Marine researcher Robert Panipilla had launched a separate community-based project to record marine biodiversity found along Thiruvananthapuram’s coastline.

The invasive Vilayati Kikar trees must go. But not by supplanting local biodiversity with more non-native species and themed parks and forests.

Tackling human poverty can enhance forest conservation and biodiversity in an inclusive, sustainable approach.

An international research team, which included University of Tartu visiting doctoral student Wen-Gang Zhang and Professor of Botany Meelis Pärtel, has found a new solution to one of ecology's long-standing controversies—Darwin's naturalization conundrum, which addresses the question of why some species successfully establish in a new habitat while others do not. The research is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

A study carried out by scientists from Ifremer, IRD, the universities of Western Brittany (UBO) and Bordeaux, CNRS, and the University of Tartu (Estonia) reveals the impact of nickel mining on the coastal ecosystems of New Caledonia. Published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, this research shows that starting in the 1950s, the mechanization of mining operations led to a sharp increase in sediment inputs into the Thio Lagoon and a disruption of microbial communities that persists to this day.

Scientists who study plant physiology and evolution have a new tool in their toolkit: a machine learning algorithm that can scan digital plant specimen collections and quickly measure leaf size and thickness.

Will serve as a dedicated institutional mechanism for wildlife conservation, scientific biodiversity management and community-led environmental stewardship.

Most of my ecology and evolution undergraduates have never held a pair of binoculars or looked at a bug through a magnifying glass. They don't know how to use a key to identify a plant or insect, let alone why they should bother. They struggle to name common garden birds. They expect to learn about biodiversity from behind the safety of a computer screen. Fieldwork is considered a luxury or an inconvenience, depending on your tolerance for rain.

India faces its weakest monsoon in 11 years. Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has instructed states to prepare contingency plans for districts likely to experience low or uneven rainfall this kharif season. The government is focusing on water conservation and alternative cropping patterns. Efforts are also underway to boost cotton production through scientific farming.

Forget the internet, there's a hidden superhighway under your feet, and it's almost a billion Sun trips long and scientists have now mapped this underground fungal network for the first time. The study shows that these fungal networks stretch about 110 quadrillion kilometers across Earth. They help plants obtain nutrients and water, move around 4 billion tons of carbon dioxide into soils each year, and support ecosystems. Researchers say the findings could help conservation efforts, climate planning, and future studies of underground biodiversity.

CM Hemant Soren urges water conservation and climate-resilient farming at Jharkhand Krishi Vyapar Mela 2026; portal, support for progressive farmers announced.

Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has directed states vulnerable to El Niño impacts to prepare district-level contingency plans for the Kharif 2026 season. The Centre urged water conservation, alternative cropping strategies, and scientific farming practices while pushing higher cotton and pulses cultivation.

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren urges farmers to conserve water, adopt modern farming and organic practices to combat climate change. At Krishi Vyapar Mela 2026, he highlights looming water scarcity, afforestation, digital farmer support and initiatives to boost sustainable, profitable agriculture in the state.

GOOD ECONOMIE. Basées sur les principes de l'agroécologie, ces petites forêts nourricières se développent un peu partout en France.

Choosing in-season vegetables rejects profit-driven industrial food systems, prioritizing freshness, nutrition, and self-reliance over mass-produced, nutrient-depleted alternatives. Vegetables like zucchini, tomatoes, and bell peppers offer unmatched vitamins, antioxidants, and health benefits (e.g., lycopene for heart health) that challenge processed food agendas. Seasonal produce supports local economies, preserves biodiversity, and resists corporate monopolies by embracing natural […]

Experts have long established that climate and biodiversity are interconnected. Hence, it becomes very important to preserve the biodiversity of a place. A fact that Kerala State Biodiversity Board (KSBB) has been trying to instil among the people.

At first glance, it looks like a simple calculation. The state offers compensation. The climate demands action. Low-lying soils must be restored as wetlands. Yet landowners hesitate. According to anthropologist and Ph.D. student Kasper Krabbe from the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University, that is exactly where the misunderstanding begins.

James Plenderleith, whose parents are buried in the graveyard, says there is 'no respect for the dead'

The newly built terminal has been praised for a design that reflects the identity of the Northeast. Inspired by the Bamboo Orchid, a symbol of the region's biodiversity, the structure blends modern architecture with local cultural influences.
