Aspens and standing dead trees, which are important to forest biodiversity, can be reliably identified from openly available aerial imagery using methods developed by researchers from the University of Helsinki and the University of Eastern Finland.

A new USDA study finds organic corn-soybean systems reduce nitrogen pollution by 50% while matching or exceeding conventional yields. Nitrogen runoff from chemical-intensive agriculture contaminates drinking water, especially burdening small rural communities with high cleanup costs. Organic farming practices build soil health, increase biodiversity and enhance resilience to climate extremes like drought. Decades of research […]

Stadiums across the UK, including Brentford's Gtech Stadium, are replacing beef burgers with wild venison. This shift, part of a wider sustainability initiative by Levy UK, aims to cut carbon emissions by 85%, saving over 1,000 tonnes of CO₂e annually while supporting biodiversity and reducing water contamination.

Researchers from the School of Animal, Plant and Environmental Sciences (APES) have contributed significantly to a major African-led study revealing that sub-Saharan Africa has already lost 24% of its biodiversity since pre-industrial times.
