A new report led by the British Ecological Society (BES) and National Trust (NT) calls for an ecosystem approach to nature recovery.

A new study argues that habituation - the process of people or animals becoming used to something, so that they no longer find it unpleasant or think it is a threat - is a much more complex two-way process than scientists have assumed.

At an event co-hosted by YESI and LCAB, researchers and stakeholders shared experiences in managing and working with diverse National Parks in Brazil and the UK.

Human activity may be triggering the greatest extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs, according to scientists.

Following the European Parliament’s historic vote to move wolves from the strictly protected to protected category, experts are calling on policymakers to ensure the change becomes a catalyst for fairer, more adaptive and transparent wildlife management to meet the challenges of successful species recovery.

Researchers have suggested appointing practitioners or stewards to bring together local knowledge and conservation practices to inform policies on coexistence with large carnivores such as wolves, bears and lynx.

The need for information on long-term change throughout the Holocene provides an interface for sustainability science and palaeoecology.

LCAB PhD student Andrew Gibson shares his experience of the American Geophysical Union annual conference

On a crisp autumn afternoon, Charlie Le Marquand peered nervously through the windows of Central Hall and watched as a cluster of 12 and 13 year olds approached the building. This was to be her first go at secondary school outreach.

Molly Bown visits a York primary school to talk about the topic of her PhD research.

Molly Brown shares her highlights of coordinating a project which brought together academics, NGO practitioners and government officials.

A growing number of people across Europe are facing the challenge of living with large carnivores. Hanna Pettersson explores its socio-economic implications through a case study in Northern Sweden.

Hong Jiang discusses the future view of protected area and other effective area-based conservation measures expansion, and the difficulty of achieving these goals.

By mid-century climate change is set to become the primary cause of biodiversity loss, but there is still time to reduce the impact on global ecosystems and species, scientists say.

The boreal forest, covering much of Canada and Alaska, and the treeless shrublands to the north of the forest region, may be among the worst impacted by climate change over the next 500 years, according to a new study.

As researchers, we spend a lot of time communicating our work. Why is it important? What did we do? What have we learnt? Where could we take this next?

Bakeries in Nigeria which use traditional open ovens fuelled by hardwood cut from local forests are contributing to rapid deforestation and climate change, according to a study from academics working in Nigeria and from the University of York and UCL.

In July, LCAB’s Katie Noble and I climbed into some metal and carbon fibre tubes and travelled through the sky and the future to The Land Down Under. Apparently, the hippie trail is rewilded, and gassy, fried-out Kombis are harder to come by, so aeroplanes it was.

Professor Chris Thomas has reproduced the following article from the conference booklet of a New Networks for Nature meeting. He reflects on being both a scientist and a naturalist and on how we need to change our food production system to sustain our increasing human population.

PhD student Megan Tarrant recently returned from the 2022 Earth Systems Governance Conference in Toronto. In this article she considers the topic of “transformation” and how it links to justice, which featured heavily in the conference proceedings.

The in vitro production of real meat from animal cells, known as ‘cultured meat’ (CM), makes it possible to make meat without slaughtering animals. Katie Noble explores this emerging industry.

Many of the UK’s protected areas are not delivering for nature and are in poor ecological condition, a new report has found.

PhD Student Megan Tarrant looks at what the upcoming Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework means for human rights in conservation.

Theo Tomking considers issues concerning the role of local knowledge and the opportunities new technologies present for agriculture in discussions of how we can produce food for a ‘better’ Anthropocene.

PhD student Katie Noble considers the environmentally sustainable alternatives to Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.
