In Borneo’s remote villages, locals earn money by recording wildlife — reshaping conservation and redefining how communities value their forests.
Paleoanthropologists have thought that Homo habilis was the first stone-tool maker and meat-eater in our genus. But new research suggests H. habilis might not have been so advanced.
A 25-year-old local scientist captured rare footage showing how one of the world’s deadliest viruses could jump from bats to humans.
A census of carnivores in Uganda painted a grim picture in some areas, but marked hope for others.
Studying carnivore ‘kill rates’ – typically the number of prey killed over time – can help us better understand the role of apex predators in ecosystems across the globe.
Many of the endangered mammal species are solitary. Understanding this way of life may help to protect them.

As humans and wildlife come into closer contact, it is crucial to ensure that there's a relationship that benefits both people and animals.
Recent sighting of a leopard in the Campo-Ma’an National Park area of Southern Cameroon shows the importance of conservation efforts.
We studied the genomes of African and Asian leopards using specimens from natural history museums.
If left unregulated, the unsustainable exploitation of leopards will have severe ecological and evolutionary costs.
A new way for leopard biologists to monitor this elusive and iconic species has been developed.
Wild leopards that live in an Indian city park like to dine on stray dogs, which new research says may help reduce the number of potentially deadly dog bites on people.
Instead of causing problems for farmers, carnivores could actually be beneficial by controlling rodent pests.
Sound wildlife management is incredibly important, and could enhance the conservation status of large carnivores like the leopard, which has recently been listed as a vulnerable species.
