Many of the functional traits that mediate extinction risk across the range of biodiversity relate indirectly to a species’ ability to persist in a changing world, yet certain traits such as colorati...

The use and trade of biodiversity involve tens of thousands of species that are exploited at a range of scales, intensities, and degrees of sustainability. As a result, some are highly threatened. Ke....

A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persist...

Brewdog has announced it has sold its “Lost Forest” after 250,000 of the trees it planted on the Scottish estate died ...

Today, we pay tribute to conservation hero Dame Jane Goodall (1934-2025).

Many countries aim to protect 30% of their land and seas by 2030 using a mix of traditional protected areas and “other effective area-based conservation measures” (OECMs), which often prioritize local...

Flamingos actively hunt prey using swirling water vortices created by their feet, necks and beaks, new research shows. By stirring sediment and 'chattering' their beaks, they concentrate and capture live prey such as brine shrimp. This challenges their image as passive feeders and could inspire technologies for water filtration, microplastic removal and mud-walking robots.

Species classified as Critically Endangered are at greatest risk of extinction, and their preservation and recovery are crucial to meeting global biodiversity aims. This Review assesses the geographic...

“This is the first time we’ve had fine-scale information on population changes across such broad spatial extents and across entire ranges of species. And that provides us a better lens to understand t...

Toxic metal pollution is ubiquitous in soils, yet its worldwide distribution is unknown. We analyzed a global database of soil pollution by arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, nickel, and lead...

Satellite data show declining global forest recovery from tree mortality since the 1990s, driven by warming and water scarcity. Canopy water recovers slower than greenness, stressing the need for a mu...
