“This is a structural issue in society,” a Spanish firefighter said, about worsening wildfires across Europe. “We’ve turned our backs on the mountains, on nature—and cities have never been so affected by it.”

When psychological researchers investigate binary outcomes, they routinely report odds ratios to quantify the strength of an effect or an association. This is quite understandable given that psycholog...

There could be fewer leopards living across sub-Saharan Africa than previously believed, according to a new study which has analysed suitable habitat and conditions.

By integrating density modelling with habitat suitability, we provide a decision-support framework for leopard conservation across sub-Saharan Africa. The results identify where conservation investme...

New research from Costa Rica shows canopy bridges become more effective over time and animals prefer rope bridges over ladder bridges.

The population increase reflects years of conservation measures and local community efforts to protect the markhor, which is indigenous to mountain regions in

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-026-00173-xBiodiversity indicators are essential for tracking progress towards international biodiversity goals, but existing indicators have important shortcomings and are not based on animal movement data. This Perspective outlines why incorporating movement data into biodiversity indicators can help to address these shortcomings, improve monitoring and inform effective conservation actions.
