Rather than just a small change here or there, taking real action on climate change and biodiversity requires a fundamental, system-wide reorganisation.
The new report on alien invasive species doesn’t just concentrate on problems. It also offers solutions.
Modern ecosystems are very different to how they were just a few centuries ago.
Not all alien species are a significant hazard to people and ecosystems.
To conserve wildlife, we must end human supremacy, say researchers.
The big climate and biodiversity assessment reports are too few and far between. The world needs much more regular reporting for action and adaptation to keep pace.
We analysed the legal systems regulating the wildlife trade in China. Here’s what we found.
What are the visions that reflect the diverse values that nature holds for people?
To reverse the current climate and ecological crises, governments must put an end to the damaging forms of technology, innovation, investments and incentives that contribute to it.
Ecosystem deterioration, along with climate change, is now becoming a controversial political question.
The Global Assessment of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services has some sobering news.
Some scientists want to replace ‘ecosystem services’ with ‘Nature’s Contributions to People’.
A new international report makes for bleak reading on the state of the world’s soils. It predicts that land degradation will displace up to 700 million people worldwide by mid-century.
Biodiversity keeps declining despite lots of accumulated knowledge and numerous international and national commitments to act.
