Researchers call on the international community to recognise and start tackling the ‘biodiversity leak’.

Farmers don’t have to choose between lowering environmental impact and improving welfare for their pigs, a new study has found: it is possible to do both. But this is not reflected in the current food labelling schemes relied on by consumers.

A new way to price carbon credits could encourage desperately needed investment in forest preservation and boost vital progress towards net-zero.

Local communities are not incentivised to protect tropical forests that are hugely valuable for global climate regulation, a new study has found. International funding could help smallholder farmers to boost yields on their existing land to incentivise long-term forest protection.

Rewilding, organic farming and the so-called ‘nature friendly farming’ measures included in some government conservation policies may accelerate global biodiversity loss, say two leading researchers.

Cambridge ̽��ֱ�� scientists have come up with a system of measuring animal welfare that enables reliable comparison across different types of pig farming.

Study of farmer preferences shows that turning whole areas of farmland into habitats comes with half the price tag of integrating nature into productive farmland, if biodiversity and carbon targets are to be met.

Scientists evaluate the evidence that intensive livestock farming is causing pandemics, and find that intensive farming could actually reduce the risk of future pandemics compared to 'free-range' farming.

Scientists suggest that some staffing of protected areas should be considered “essential services” in future crises. 

Forest restoration schemes should prioritise restoring native forests for greatest climate and environmental benefits, but these benefits incur a trade-off with wood production in comparison with tree plantations.
