Many wild animals die when well meaning locals and tourists set them free.
New research shows how these storytelling choices can distort science – and how to move beyond them.
From the last thylacine to Mollie the drinking, smoking orangutan, little Punch the monkey is the latest in a long line of lonely zoo animals.
New research found this approach meant an increase in spawning fish. This is good news for fishers.
This reproductive slow down seems closely linked to climate-driven changes in the remote Southern Ocean.
Studying how much soil herbivores eat shows which species are vulnerable to toxic element exposure from natural or human sources – a useful guide for conservation.
Long-footed potoroos dig up and eat many truffle-like fungi, spreading spores and keeping vital fungi-forest relationships healthy.
Following the death of a young backpacker, the Queensland government has killed dingoes seen near her body. But will this cull protect tourists?
Decades of evidence link foxes and feral cats with extinctions of Australian mammals. Claims these introduced predators aren’t responsible don’t stack up.
Four people have been bitten by sharks in two days in Sydney Harbour and off NSW beaches. Bull sharks may have been involved. Here’s how to stay safe.
Threatened frogs aren’t just found in national parks – citizen scientists are finding them throughout private land too.
Restoring the ability of local communities to act as guardians of nature is a promising approach to both ecological and social recovery.
New research shows how identity-driven assumptions can turn common ground into conflict.
Exposure therapy can help with a fear of nature.
Every new extinction ripples out beyond the affected species, from ecosystems to human knowledge across culture, spirituality and science.
In Tasmania’s remote southwest, dry lightning storms are starting huge conflagrations across treeless plains. Could a return to cultural burning help?
Conflict between baboons and humans won’t change unless human behaviour changes.
Ocmulgee Mounds may soon be redesignated by Congress as America’s 64th national park. But what does this actually mean, and why does it matter?
Adding feral cats to the Predator Free 2050 hit-list may be justified – but it also forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about animal welfare.
