A major new study has identified 20 species whose reintroduction would ensure that an additional 54 per cent of the planet's land area regains its full complement of large mammals – but how practical is such an idea?
With a growing number of studies demonstrating the importance of large mammals to healthy ecosystems, scientists are proposing concrete plans to reintroduce these animals to the wild. The return of just 20 species to native habitats, they say, could be a boon to biodiversity.
An international team of researchers has revealed that many types of trees are significantly under pressure and poorly secured in new global research of more than 46,000 types of trees
Over 50 percent of plant species rely on animals for seed dispersal. According to a study published in the journal Science, the ability of animal-dispersed plants to adapt to changing conditions [.]
