Our purpose-built “frog saunas” allow amphibians to warm up in winter and bake off chytrid infections. You can even DIY and build a frog sauna for your own backyard with our step-by-step guide.
A new algorithm could reduce the amount of time it takes for ecologists to find bat roosts.
Indigenous knowledge is a boon to environmentally responsible efforts, but only if the data — and its holders — are treated with respect.
