Around 300 students, youth advocates, educators, and environmental partners joined the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in promoting

deep inside the forests of sironcha in gadchiroli district, scientists have uncovered a striking explosion of butterfly life that is now altering the biodiversity map of vidarbha. a year-long scientific survey in the sironcha forest division documented 137 butterfly species, including 15 species never before recorded in the region. the discovery has drawn attention to the dense tropical landscapes of sironcha near the maharashtra-telangana border, where moist and dry deciduous forests continue to shelter fr

A new study of the British Isles' coastal ecosystems has revealed that nitrogen enrichment is significantly reducing the abundance and variety of marine life. The research, published by scientists at Swansea University and the charity Project Seagrass, warns that increasing nutrient flows are overriding local habitat conditions to restructure and deplete coastal biodiversity. The work is published in the journal Global Ecology and Conservation.

A new study led by UBC researchers has found that lands managed by Indigenous Peoples consistently protect forests, biodiversity and carbon stores at levels equal to or greater than government-designated protected areas—yet most of these lands remain inadequately recognized or resourced.

Environmental groups and volunteers will organise a mangrove cleanup drive in Kamothe on May 10 as part of the “Mangrove Soldiers” initiative. The weekly campaign aims to protect coastal ecosystems and raise awareness. The drive, coinciding with World Migratory Bird Day, will see participation from residents across Navi Mumbai.

India News: As India prepares to host the first International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA) Summit, it urges unjoined big cat range countries to participate, highlighting a collective mission for big cat conservation and global biodiversity goals.

Biodiversity loss is directly threatening human health and welfare, according to new research led by the University of Bristol. The study, published in Nature reveals, for the first time, how the decline of insect pollinators undermines essential ecosystem services that support human nutrition and livelihoods. Biodiversity also plays a vital role in supporting people's everyday health and resilience, too.

In central Seoul, South Korea, a motorway once covered a buried urban stream. Today, that same stretch has been uncovered—a process known as daylighting—and this river is home to plants, fish and insects. This flowing water cools the city in summer and attracts tens of thousands of people every day. What used to be concrete now boosts biodiversity, the local economy and community well-being.

Too many white-tailed deer are damaging forests in the U.S. by eating young plants before they can grow, limiting forest regeneration and damaging biodiversity. To mitigate this challenge, the Pennsylvania Game Commission implemented an initiative called the Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) that helps landowners manage deer populations by allowing hunters to harvest more female deer where they are overabundant. While hunters largely value and enjoy hunting in DMAP areas, they have some sentiments that may help inform wildlife management, according to a new study by Penn State researchers.

Madagascar, the world's oldest island, boasts unparalleled biodiversity due to millions of years of isolation. This unique evolutionary journey, stemming from its separation from Africa and India, has resulted in over 90% endemic wildlife, including diverse lemur species and unique reptiles. The island's distinct landscapes further shape its extraordinary ecosystems.

A Curtin University-led study has revealed the extraordinary biodiversity hidden in deep underwater canyons off Western Australia's Nyinggulu (Ningaloo) coast, ranging from species previously undetected in the area, such as the elusive giant squid, to others thought to be new to science.

The Ismaili community’s ‘Roots for Change’ initiative has planted one million trees worldwide within a year, including drives in Mumbai and Thane. Backed by AKDN’s sustainability goals, the campaign mobilises volunteers across 20 countries to boost biodiversity and climate resilience.

South America is one of the most beautiful and underexplored continents where nature exists in its most dramatic form. For those who have visited and explored the continent swear by its natural beauty. Not many must be aware of the fact that the continent is home to the world’s largest rainforest, some of the highest waterfalls, and older-than-time kind of glaciers. Absolutely unreal! The national parks here nurture and protect some of the richest biodiversity on the planet, making them a dream destination for adventurers and wildlife enthusiasts. It’s also a dream destination for photographers.On this note, let’s have a look at five national parks in South America which offer experiences like nowhere else.

Increases in global trade and travel are causing animal and plant species to be more frequently introduced to regions of the world where they do not naturally occur. In these new regions, these species are often referred to as "alien species." The process through which they are introduced is known as a "biological invasion." Much research has been carried out to identify the biodiversity impacts of biological invasions—these are impacts that affect the survival of native species.

Fidelity International and CATCH Foundation are creating a Miyawaki forest at Dhankot pond in Gurugram, India. The initiative involves planting 15,000 native saplings using the Miyawaki method to develop a self-sustaining urban forest ecosystem, aiming to enhance biodiversity, climate resilience, and community well-being within three years.
