Cuckoos travelling to the UK are out of sync with their victims’ nesting clocks due to global warming which is bringing spring earlier. Scientific American reported last year that spring in the UK arrived a month earlier than in the 1980s and that the trend was revealed in 250 years of records. They also state …

NEWS AND VIEWS: This genuinely irritates me to my core. The UK government is trying to pass a law which bans the importation of hunting trophies as trophy hunting is cruel and an activity which is of a bygone age. It negatively impacts conservation in my view. There is no place for it in 20th …

The blowing up of part of the Nova Kakhovka dam during the Ukraine war, which formed the Kakhovskyi reservoir – one of the largest in Europe – was an act of ecocide. The Sunday Times reports on it in their article, “The drowned earth strategy is ancient but it has a modern name – ecocide”. …
The title tell us this: we are discovering for the first time ever new species of plants and animals but at the same time we’ve decided that these new species (to humans) are going extinct because of human behavior. It is a bit sick that. There must be species on the planet that we have …

The giant panda is, in my words, edging away from the possibility of extinction thanks to captive breeding programs by the Chinese and overall efforts in terms of their conservation.

The current plans to de-extinct and re-wild the dodo calls into question the motivation. And there are ethical issues as well. I always think that if humankind wants to de-extinct species such as the dodo or the Tasmanian tiger or indeed the woolly mammoth, it is because we are guilty. The guilt of hunting these …

The media, today, is expressing an exasperation at the inability of humans to change the course that they are on which is a long-term acute mismanagement and misuse of the planet leading to what is described as the sixth mass extinction and which is happening faster than expected.

Here are 2 books recommended by Chris Packham which he says will save lives. If he says so I believe him. He means the lives of animals as well as human lives.
Mexico is endangering the survival of the most species (compared to other countries) because of their uncontrolled human population growth. We have a list of the top ten countries containing the most endangered species. For me, it means that these countries either contain the most diverse species of animal and there is some endangerment by …

No words are needed. What have we done? What are we doing? When will we stop? Why are we destroying the planet we depend on for our lives? Despair, really. Just despair. We must hate ourselves.
I’m referring to the schoolchildren’s strike to force the adults of this world, by which I mean the politicians and senior businessmen, to do something tangible and quickly about climate change. I’m sure a lot of people will dismiss what they say because adults know best? Well they don’t sometimes and Sir David Attenborough has …

A lecturer of Korean at Oxford, Dr. Young-hae Chi, believes that aliens are on the planet already and they are breeding with humans to create a hybrid species. He believes that they will save the planet because they are of an incredibly high intelligence. They want to solve climate change because it will save them …

The killer whales of the Salish Sea, which lies between mainland Washington state and Vancouver Island, are sometimes skinny. They are undernourished, underfed and starving. They have “peanut heads” and they suffer an increased chance of dying. And they are disappearing. The whale spotters in that area such as Jeanne Hyde are noticing that they …
A teacher in Germany, Verena Brunschweiger, has vowed to never have a son or daughter in order to save the planet (and, for me, to thereby protect animals). She argues that it’s time to break free of conventional thinking and decide positively whether a mother should have babies or not. The lady is a teacher …
