Will reductions in Arctic snow cover make tundra-dwelling wolverines more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought?  That’s a question scientists hope an innovative method described in a new study co-authored by WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) will help answer. Wolverines are the largest land-dwelling members of the weasel family, and use snow-pack for denning, caching…

WCS scientists have discovered a refuge for corals where the environment protects otherwise sensitive species to the increasing severity of climate change. The bad news is that the reefs are showing signs of being overfished and weak compliance with local fisheries laws needs to be reversed to maintain the fish that help to keep reefs…

Less than a month away from the kick-off the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Hawaii, a team of scientists report in the journal Nature that three quarters of the world’s threatened species are imperiled because people are converting their habitat into agricultural lands and overharvesting their populations. The team, from the University of Queensland, Wildlife Conservation Society…
