It’s usually good news when a once-scarce species starts to recover – unless it starts getting in humans’ way. An ecologist explains how science can help predict unwelcome encounters.
A farming community in north-west Spain may hold the answer to coexistence with wild carnivores.
Outdoor recreation is booming across the US, but research shows that the presence of humans – or the trails they hike and ski on – can have harmful effects on wildlife at less-than-close range.

Many carnivores are ambush predators. Being seen by their prey can lead to them abandoning the hunt.
Pandas have done more to raise awareness of biodiversity loss than any other species. But they may not be good at stopping it themselves.
The poisoning incident in Guinea-Bissau represents a loss of around 5% of the estimated national population of Hooded Vultures, which makes up 22% of the entire global population.
In the villages of central Gujurat, humans and wildlife are forced to share the same spaces – with varying consequences.
As Chile’s central mountain region warms, guanacos are wandering into trouble.
Most of Kenya’s biodiversity needs protecting outside protected areas in human‐dominated landscapes that are undergoing rapid change.
