Humanity can now watch forests change from space, track atmospheric chemistry across the planet and collect billions of records describing where species have been observed. Yet one of the most … Read More
Nature is remarkably capable of recovery. Forests can regenerate after clearing, rivers can improve after pollution is reduced, wildlife populations can rebound after protection, and damaged habitats can regain ecological … Read More
Climate change is redrawing the map of life, but species are not responding to a warming planet in the same way. Some animals and plants are appearing farther toward the … Read More

Walk through a city park, visit a farm, watch birds around a lake, or look at insects gathering around a light, and it can be difficult to believe that biodiversity … Read More
Climate change is often described through temperature records, melting glaciers, rising seas and extreme weather. But another signal is unfolding across the planet in a less visible system: the movement … Read More
For much of modern science, the ground beneath our feet was treated mainly as a place to extract resources, build foundations, bury waste or draw water. That view is changing. … Read More
