Climate Change Alters Migratory Patterns of Spoonbills in the Netherlands
Milder winters in the Netherlands, with no icy days in 2023 and 2024, are causing some spoonbills to overwinter in the Zeeland delta instead of migrating to Africa; this change in migratory behavior reflects broader trends in avian migration due to climate change, impacting various species different...

Global Study Reveals Widespread Genetic Diversity Loss in Species
A study analyzing 628 species from 1985–2019 found that two-thirds experienced genetic diversity loss, primarily due to habitat reduction; population supplementation proved the most effective conservation measure, though risks remain.

Widespread Genetic Diversity Decline Threatens Species Survival
A Nature study analyzed 628 species (1985-2019), finding that two-thirds experienced genetic diversity decline, impacting resilience and increasing extinction risk, even in widespread species. Conservation strategies must focus on maintaining genetic diversity beyond population size.

Western Monarch Butterfly Population Plummets 96%
The western monarch butterfly population has dropped to 9,119 in 2024, a 96% decrease from 2023, primarily due to pesticides, habitat loss, and extreme heat; the US Fish and Wildlife Service is considering listing them as threatened, while a petition requests pesticide testing.

Global Genetic Diversity Decline in Two-Thirds of Species
A global study of 628 species across 141 countries found a two-thirds decline in genetic diversity between 1985 and 2019, primarily due to habitat loss, climate change, invasive species, and human activity; however, successful conservation projects show that this loss can be reversed.
