In Synch: Char & Salmon Migrations in Warming Waters
In Southeast Alaska, salmon are changing their annual migration patterns due to warming waters. Will one of their main predators -- Dolly Varden char -- adapt to the change?
Better Green Living Through Chemistry
Conservancy NatureNet Fellow Sen Zhang and colleagues announced a process that overcomes a key obstacle to wider adoption of renewable energy fuel cells: their prohibitive cost.
From Theory to Practice: Managing Coral Reefs for Resilience
Scientists and reef managers agree: the key to successful reef management is resilience. But how do you manage for resilient corals? It was hard to know. Until now.
Safe(r) Spaces for Species under Climate Change
Climate change might change everything for conservation. How can we protect biodiversity as species move & adapt? New study says conserve "flexible" landscapes.
Coasts at Risk Report Expands Thinking on Natural Hazards
Nature has an important role in preparing for, and recovering from, natural disasters on coasts around the world. A new report substantiates the link.
