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.

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.

Lebanese Volunteers Battle Conflict and Odds to Save Endangered Sea Turtles
Despite the ongoing conflict near the Lebanese-Israeli border, volunteers are working to protect endangered green sea turtles by relocating thousands of newly hatched turtles to the Mediterranean Sea to improve their chances of survival, which are currently less than 1 in 1,000.

Snow Leopard Evolution: Eurasian Fossils Reveal Dispersal from Qinghai-Xizang Plateau
An international team used Eurasian snow leopard fossils to reveal multiple dispersals from the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau during the Middle Pleistocene, driven by mountainous terrain and prey availability, not solely high-altitude adaptation, impacting current conservation efforts.
