E Zoos also play a key role in research. If we are to save wild species and restore and repair ecosystems we need to know about how key species live, act and react. Being able to undertake research on animals in zoos where there is less risk and fewer variables means real changes can ...
Reintroductions are an important tool for re-establishing or reinforcing populations of threatened species, and thus to restore ecosystems. However, predicting how reintroduced populations will spread is difficult, and past reintroductions often lacked a thorough assessment of habitat availability and ...
People suffered a lot from powerful natural forces.People often think of forests as natural ecosystems that store huge amounts of C. People harmed the climate by digging up grasses.carbon (碳), Lark says. But grasslands store significant amounts as well, out of D. People have been long ...

It requires cooperation and collaboration on a global scale to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to renewable energy, and protect and restore ecosystems. By caring about climate change, we can contribute to a collective effort to address this urgent issue and work towards a more ...
sustaining functional forest ecosystems in urban environments—so called ‘microforests.’ The architectural ridge formation is designed to shield the park and the waterfront from the busy expressway, and the presence of a forest ecosystem will significantly clean the air and restore the health of ...
” Hurteau says. “These are flammable landscapes. A lot of the species evolved with fire as a disturbance process, and we’ve been intervening in that with fire suppression for a long time. It’s critical that we actually begin to restore fire to these ecosystems in an ecologically ...
By eliminating universal “old friends” we end up with "depleted biomes", a fancy phrase for intestinal tracts that define impoverished ecosystems, all due to excessive "hygiene" and the result is poorly educated immune systems. Immune systems that because they do not get much practice are ...
They’re “gross and slimy and flaccid and wiggling.” But parasites can be just as important as more charismatic animals—and many may be on the verge of disappearing.
