Wildlife trafficking has not substantially reduced over the past two decades, despite positive signs in reducing trafficking of iconic species like elephant and rhino, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reported in Vienna on Monday.

During the six-year period, around 13 million individual animals and plants had been s...

Glacier National Park (United States) (AFP) - Glacier National Park's ice fortress is crumbling. The giant trees of Sequoia National Park are ablaze. And even the tenacious cacti of Saguaro National Park are struggling to endure a decades-long drought. Since their creation, national parks have embodied the pioneering spirit of America in their vast expanses and breathtaking landscapes. But today, the climate crisis imperils the very symbols of many parks, leaving them facing a future where their names could be cruel ironies. Deep within Montana's Glacier National Park, the once majestic Grinn...

By Levi FERNANDES Aljustrel (Portugal) (AFP) - Oiseau migrateur, la cigogne ? Pas si sûr. Ces oiseaux blancs peuplent désormais par dizaines les pylônes électriques au Portugal, trouvant de quoi se nourrir dans les décharges et s'épargnant les aller-retours avec l'Afrique, en raison également du changement climatique selon certaines hypothèses. Alors que ces échassiers figuraient parmi les espèces menacées du pays ibérique jusqu'au tournant du siècle, leur nombre a quasiment doublé au cours de la dernière décennie, en passant de quelque 12.000 couples à environ 20.000, selon les estimations de...

Most of us today are familiar with rewilding - the concept of bringing nature back in certain areas, restoring lost ecosystems and biodiversity to a healthier state. It’s conservation work that’s often attached to the idea of “letting nature take care of itself”, with minimal human interference. But is less human intervention always better? Or the most realistic approach on a 21st-century planet, home to 8.1 billion people? Not necessarily. In some cases, a human touch can not only be helpful in designing rewilded ecosystems but also remain a vital part of them. Perhaps because we’re so used t...

The felling of the Sycamore Gap tree along Hadrian’s Wall in northern England last year caused an outpouring of grief and outrage in the UK and beyond.

Growing up, Teresa Vicente spent long days in Spain's Mar Menor swimming in transparent waters, cupping seahorses in her hands and partying under the moonlit sky. Out there, she recalled, time stood still. But over the decades, chronic contamination from mining, development and agricultural runoff turned the once crystal-clear waters of Europe's largest saltwater lagoon into a graveyard. A mass fish die-off in 2019 prompted the professor of philosophy of law at the University of Murcia to take action. Over the next several years, Vicente, now 61, led a grassroots campaign to save the region's ...

Bordeaux (AFP) - Reconnaissables à leur long bec fin courbé, trois Courlis cendré, une espèce d'oiseaux en fort déclin, ont été aperçus sur des secteurs de la forêt des Landes de Gascogne ravagés par les gigantesques incendies de l'été 2022 en Gironde. Ce petit échassier au plumage marron grisâtre, "n'avait pas été observé sur le secteur depuis des décennies", indiquent vendredi dans un communiqué le Parc naturel régional des Landes de Gascogne (PNRLG) et la Ligue pour la protection des oiseaux (LPO) d'Aquitaine. En 2023, alors que "les traces des incendies de Landiras 1 et 2", qui ont ravagé ...

Small shampoo bottles, light grocery bags and other single-use plastics may soon be disappearing from the European Union after lawmakers in the world's largest trading bloc took a step closer to further bans on certain plastics. Other items facing prohibition include single-use packaging for fruit, vegetables and condiments in restaurants, where staff will be required to allow customers to bring their own reusable cups and containers with them when they dine in. The latest proposed restrictions come after the EU in 2021 banned plastic items such as straws and cutlery - and after the European P...
