Sometimes, sound tells a story. And what it says can be used to educate and improve environmental well-being. The “croaks, purrs, and grunts” of a thriving coral reef and the “underground rave concert of bubbles and clicks” of healthy soil have both been recorded by scientists to boost ecosystem health.

Construction has started in the UK on two of four new bison bridges that will enable the animals to cross through forested areas while allowing human visitors to observe the wildlife from the bridges above. The project, totaling £1 million (about $1.33 million), includes four bridges that people can use to safely observe the UK’s […]

A new map from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reveals the areas of the country that are at biggest risk from landslides. “This new national landslide susceptibility map addresses an important but difficult question: which areas across the entire U.S. are prone to landslides?” Ben Mirus, USGS research geologist, said in a statement. “We are […]
As the oceans heat up, sharks are leaving their coral reef habitats, putting both sharks and entire ecosystems at risk, scientists have found. In a new study, published in the journal Communications Biology, scientists used satellites and underwater acoustic receivers to monitor more than 120 grey reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) in coral reefs of the […]
A new World Meteorological Organization (WMO) report has found that African countries are losing a disproportionate amount — an average of two to five percent — of their annual gross domestic product (GDP) due to climate change. Many of these countries are using as much as nine percent of their national budgets to respond to […]
In a landmark ruling on Thursday, South Korea’s top court stated that the country’s climate change law does not safeguard basic human rights or contain targets to protect future generations.

A devastating typhoon that led to at least 90 combined deaths across the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam and China was supercharged by human-caused climate change, a new study has found. Gaemi, which strengthened into a typhoon on July 22, reached a peak wind speed of around 145 miles per hour, as fast as a category 4 […]
