With the growing severity of marine heatwaves, mass coral bleaching and mortality have become widespread. A new study led by researchers at Florida Tech recommends multinational networks of protected reefs as the best chance corals have to persist through climate change.

Protected areas—such as nature reserves, national parks, and wilderness areas—are essential to conserving biodiversity. New research published in Environmental Research Letters provides insights for developing climate-smart conservation strategies.

A natural habitat's ability to withstand and recover from damage can be empirically monitored from space—and the method may prove important during upcoming decades of climate and land-use change.

The world’s best-known coral reefs could be extinct by the end of the century unless we do more to make them resilient to our warming oceans. That’s the stark message from UNESCO, which is behind an emergency bid to protect these natural marine wonders, 29 of which are on the agency’s p

Half of the planet’s non-human species are already on the move in response to climate change impacts on temperature, precipitation or the movement of other species...Traditional forms of species conservation have focused on well-defined, immovable boundaries to create national park

A new study performed has shown that coral reefs present in remote or protected regions can rapidly recover following mass coral bleaching events...To gain better insight into the effects of climate change on reef functions, the researchers analyzed around 12 reefs in the remote Chagos Islands in

Earlier this month, the Intergovernmental Report on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group II (WGII) released a report that consisted of the impacts, adaptation and vulnerability. This report has shown that with all these climate crises, women are at the very forefront of climate change and it

To deal with climate change and biodiversity loss effectively and equitably, conservation needs to adopt a human rights-based approach, according to a new report co-authored by Indigenous and community organizations across Asia.
