The UN IPBES report demonstrates there are currently one million species at risk of extinction so it couldn’t be a more important time to focus on island restoration. The UN IPBES report laments a frightening statistic: there are one million species on Earth currently at risk of extinction in the coming decades. It has long […]
UN report finds one million species worldwide are at risk of extinction, but conservation efforts provide hope for island wildlife. A recent UN report, the IPBES Global Assessment, provides further evidence that we are currently on the verge of Earth’s sixth mass extinction and it is occurring at a more rapid rate than any other mass extinction in human […]
Confusion over terms “non-native” and “invasive” species puts wildlife at risk. As our planet approaches a potential sixth mass extinction, accurate information about environmental issues is more important than ever. Misinformation, such as that surrounding the meaning of “invasive” species, inhibits progress in biodiversity and habitat conservation. Utmost care and diligence must be taken in […]
Study shows bat biodiversity in the Caribbean will take 8 million years to recover. Once biodiversity is lost, can it be recovered? A paper published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, “Recent Extinctions Disturb Path to Equilibrium Diversity in Caribbean Bats,” by Luis Valente, Rampal S. Etienne, and Liliana M.
