Volunteers flock to Key Largo to go underwater and help restore one of the world’s most important ecosystems.

What persuades people to help protect threatened species and ecosystems? Most scientists think facts alone will change minds. They’re wrong.

Scientists “tromp out there into far-away places” to learn how to help recover three elusive, high-mountain predators: wolverines, Canada lynx and Cascade red foxes. 

We followed a wandering wolverine for weeks in the Arctic and found a frozen mystery.

How a study of so-called “trash birds” revealed conservation clues for urban species.

…and it did a halfway decent job. But algorithms alone can’t save endangered species. For that you need people who care and who act.

New research argues that most animals enjoy positive experiences throughout their lives, and that can help their conservation.

New research shows when human actions started to fragment elephant habitat in Asia and how that could help conservation efforts.

Regions that have been lucky so far may be less well prepared for an unprecedented heatwaves in the future.

As new technologies supercharge the field of bioacoustics, researchers can better listen to environmental changes — and use the information to guide conservation efforts.
