The Florida Wildlife Corridor, which turns 15 this year, connects habitats across the state for panthers, bears, sparrows and other species.
America’s marine protected areas help fish populations thrive. Trump’s plan to open them to industrial fishing may ultimately harm the fishing industry itself.
The causes involve more than just habitat loss, but there are steps you can take to help save these delicate creatures
Managed well, golf courses can bring nature back to our cities. Here’s how to balance the good and bad for urban biodiversity.
Replanting habitat corridors offers wildlife a way to move between isolated habitat – and much of this is done by volunteer groups.
Will protecting monarch butterflies under the Endangered Species Act improve their chance of surviving? Not necessarily, 2 entomologists caution.
Months of hot and dry weather, with only 23mm of rain recorded over seven months, drove some species to seek food and water in the city.
Humans aren’t the only species to consider when constructing new buildings. This course teaches students to take animals into account as well.
From the Arctic to the Himalayas, New Zealand and even Mexico, glaciers worldwide are retreating. But what happens when the ice is gone?
A new report challenges the notion that repairing our continent is a task too big and expensive to tackle.
Trees are better at designing habitat than we are. Can we use machine learning to get some tips?
A coastal scientist explains why marshes, mangroves and other wetlands can’t keep up with the effects of climate change, and how human infrastructure is making it harder for them to survive.
Atlantic halibut are making a strong comeback in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. But how do we know where the fish move throughout their lives?
Artificial reef stars have been added to damaged coral reefs in Sulawesi, Indonesia. A new study shows that within just four years, restored reefs are thriving as much as healthy reefs.
Artificial reefs are structures that humans put in place underwater that create habitat for sea life. A new study shows for the first time how much of the US ocean floor they cover.
