Rich Pillans/CSIRO Around the world, ocean warming is causing fish to move polewards in search of cooler water. But what if you’re a tiny prawn, barramundi or rare sawfish in a northern Australian gulf and your exit southwards is blocked by land? To date, there’s been a global gap in understanding how shallow tropical gulfs and bays are responding to climate change. These marine environments are vital for nature, fisheries and coastal communities. However, their conditions are becoming more ex

In a study published Thursday, a consortium of researchers confirms that the most ambitious threshold of the Paris Agreement on climate change, signed in 2015, is likely to be exceeded within the next four years.

Last December, field testing by Nigeria’s National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) recorded methane concentrations at an oil site in Bille, a coastal community in Rivers State, at levels 10,000 times higher than normal. Amnesty International reported that the spike had consequences for community health, with residents falling ill and some forced to […] The post Weak methane enforcement: Costing Nigeria billions and worsening public health risks, By Tengi George-Ikoli & Charles G

JAKARTA, June 10 (Reuters) - Deadly floods and landslides in Indonesia’s Sumatra last year have wiped out at least 7% of the total population of the critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan, a new report released on Wednesday showed.

Climate change-induced weather events are pushing orangutan populations to extinction, says a study.

Critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan population falls after heavy rain and landslides, fuelled by climate crisis, in North Sumatra Extreme rainfall and landslides fuelled by the climate crisis killed 7% of the remaining population of the world’s rarest great ape, a study has found, prompting fears for the species’ survival. The research suggests 58 out of the remaining 800 critically endangered Tapanuli orangutans (Pongo tapanuliensis) were killed after more than 1,000mm (39in) of rain fell

Our relationships with wildlife are dynamic. They can change rapidly and unexpectedly. In South Africa, these changes are visible in tourists searching kelp forests in Cape Town for octopuses and communities contesting baboon management in suburbs. Similar changes are playing out worldwide as people and wildlife increasingly share space and as wildlife communities, human practices, rules, values and perspectives shift, changing how people relate to wildlife. Managing conflict between baboons and

Callananphoto/Shutterstock Ireland’s native woodland scheme, which was introduced by the government in 2001, is successfully bringing back biodiversity. But the country still struggles to meet its tree-planting targets. The reason? Policy doesn’t always match the economic realities farmers face. Ireland should be a forestry success story. The climate is mild, the soil is fertile and trees grow faster here than almost anywhere else in Europe. Yet despite ambitious government targets and generous

by-studio/Getty If you’ve ever stood on a Victorian beach and felt the wind from the Southern Ocean, you’ll know this is not a gentle force. Whipped up across thousands of kilometres of cold ocean, these winds are relentless and powerful. More than that – they’re one of Australia’s most valuable untapped sources of energy. Australia has many windfarms, but all of them have been built on land. The stronger, more reliable winds blowing over oceans now turn truly enormous turbines in nations from

Summer heatwaves are currently receiving a lot of attention in Europe because they now cause more deaths than floods or storms. But winters are also warming. While they are generally less deadly, they influence and disrupt human and natural systems in many subtle ways. Aotearoa New Zealand has experienced a particularly warm start to this winter, with record high June temperatures in the capital and warm conditions across the country. Many will welcome the unseasonably warm weather, but milder

Some farms are looking at how best to use their lights at night. MillaF/Shutterstock Growing evidence suggests that excessive outdoor lighting at night may be harming wildlife. For generations, rural communities worked to the rhythms of daylight and darkness. Today, the amount of harsh light switched on at nightime is having profound consequences for many living things. Agricultural properties are often remote and vulnerable to equipment or livestock theft. In response, many landowners have now

He promised something few leaders of fossil fuel-producing countries have seriously attempted: to reduce his country’s dependence on oil, gas and coal. Together with his vice-president Francia Márquez, a former environmental activist, Petro put together an ambitious plan to make Colombia less dependent on resource extraction. Instead, the fo
