Dinosaur Populations Thrived Before Asteroid Impact, Study Suggests
A new study using statistical modeling of the North American fossil record suggests that dinosaurs were thriving before the asteroid impact 66 million years ago, challenging previous theories of pre-existing decline; geological factors, not population changes, likely account for the apparent decreas...

Conservation Actions Successfully Reverse Biodiversity Loss in Some Species
A review of 67,217 animal species shows that targeted conservation actions, such as habitat protection and breeding programs, improved the status of many species, particularly in isolated areas; however, six times more species are declining than recovering, highlighting the need for preventative mea...

Conservation Successes Highlight Urgent Need for Broader Biodiversity Action
A study of 67,217 species on the IUCN Red List reveals that over half have benefited from conservation programs, leading to significant population rebounds in species like the Iberian lynx, but also highlights the urgent need for more widespread and intensive interventions to combat the global biodi...

Maugean Skate Extinction Parallels ALP's Political Decline Amidst Corporate Influence
Fewer than 120 Maugean skate rays face extinction in Tasmania due to pollution from salmon farms, mirroring the Australian Labor Party's (ALP) declining electoral support, potentially its lowest since 1934, attributed to its perceived subservience to corporate interests.

Human Activities Cut North Atlantic Right Whale Lifespan to 22 Years
A study reveals North Atlantic right whales, endangered with only 370 left, live just 22 years due to ship strikes, fishing gear entanglement, and climate change, a fraction of their potential 100+ year lifespan, threatening the species' survival and ocean ecosystem.

Trump Administration Proposes Weakening Endangered Species Act
The Trump administration proposes eliminating habitat modification as "harm" under the Endangered Species Act, a move environmentalists say would endanger species like spotted owls and Florida panthers and is expected to face legal challenges.

Australia's Biodiversity Crisis: Corporate Greed vs. Public Concern
Driven by commercial interests, Australia faces widespread biodiversity loss, exemplified by the Maugean skate's endangerment from fish farming and forest logging threatening koalas and other species; this contrasts with public support for stronger environmental protection.

Human Activities Cause Near 20% Global Species Decline
A synthesis of more than 2,000 studies reveals that human activities have caused an almost 20% decline in average species numbers at impacted sites globally, with reptiles, amphibians, and mammals experiencing the most significant losses due to habitat change, resource exploitation, climate change, ...

Neanderthal Extinction: Blood Group Incompatibility as a Contributing Factor
A new study suggests that blood group incompatibility between Neanderthals and modern humans, specifically a rare Rh factor in Neanderthals causing neonatal hemolytic disease in mixed offspring, may have contributed to Neanderthal extinction.
