A herd of water buffalo has been released on Exmoor, southwest England, as part of a pioneering rewilding project aimed at restoring wetlands and enhancing biodiversity. Managed by the National Trust and Exmoor National Park Authority, the initiative brings in six Asian water buffalo to naturally manage vegetation, create ponds, and reopen water channels. Their […]

In Japan’s remote coastal waters, a centuries-old tradition continues as fishers carefully harvest funori and umibudo, two of the country’s rarest and most prized seaweeds. Found mainly along the northern coasts of Hokkaido and the Noto Peninsula, these delicate marine plants grow only in pristine, cold-water habitats that are free from pollution. Funori, a red

China is rapidly advancing its national park system as part of an ambitious strategy to protect biodiversity and restore degraded ecosystems. Since launching the system in 2021, the country has established 10 national parks covering over 230,000 square kilometers—an area larger than the United Kingdom. These parks safeguard nearly 30% of China’s key terrestrial wildlife

In a major conservation victory, Indigenous guardians in Ecuador’s Amazon have successfully prevented new oil and mining operations from entering their ancestral forests. Led by communities such as the Waorani, Kichwa, and Sapara nations, these Indigenous groups monitor and patrol millions of hectares of rainforest—home to over 10% of the world’s known species. Their efforts

India is undergoing one of the world’s fastest clean energy transformations, driven by an ambitious push toward solar power. As of 2025, the country has installed over 82 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity—up from just 2.6 GW in 2014—making it the fifth-largest solar market globally. Massive projects such as the Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan,

The world’s largest mangrove delta, the Sundarbans, is under increasing environmental and human pressure, according to several recent studies. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) downgraded the site’s conservation outlook from “Good with Some Concerns” to “Significant Concerns,” citing rising sea levels, salinity intrusion, and disease outbreaks among mangroves. Over the past three

Despite pledges to halt deforestation by 2030, the 2025 Forest Declaration Assessment reveals a troubling paradox: while the rate of deforestation has slowed in some regions, global forest loss still exceeds restoration gains. The report finds that 6.1 million hectares of forest were destroyed in 2024, largely in Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and

Florida’s coral reefs, once vibrant ecosystems teeming with marine life, are now facing a devastating collapse. Scientists have confirmed that several iconic coral species, including elkhorn and staghorn corals, are functionally extinct in parts of the Florida Keys after experiencing the hottest ocean temperatures ever recorded in 2024, exceeding 32°C (90°F) for weeks. The extreme
