UN biodiversity chief Elizabeth Maruma Mrema says laws must be implemented to curb biodiversity loss.
A Nova Scotia MP unveiled an online tool Monday to help small and medium-size municipalities across Canada develop plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The government is expected to announce a legally-binding target for 2030 to halt nature loss.
At least 50 billion individual wild birds are on the planet, including 1.6 billion house sparrows, scientists say.
Cultural diversity -- indicated by linguistic diversity -- and biodiversity are linked, and their connection may be another way to preserve both natural environments and Indigenous populations in Africa and perhaps worldwide, according to an international team of researchers.
Intact rainforests across tropical Africa continued to remove carbon from the atmosphere before and during the 2015-2016 El Niño, despite the extreme heat and drought. Theyl removed 1.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year from the atmosphere during the El Niño monitoring period. This rate is equivalent to three times the carbon dioxide emissions of the UK in 2019. Scientists were surprised...
There are roughly 50 billion individual birds in the world, a new big data study suggests - about six birds for every human on the planet.
A branch of artificial intelligence (AI), called machine learning, can accurately predict the risk of an out of hospital cardiac arrest -- when the heart suddenly stops beating -- using a combination of timing and weather data.
Microdiamonds with nitrogen vacancy centers are increasingly used as biological tracers thanks to the optical fluorescence of NV centers. But the NV centers also can be spin-polarized by low-power lasers, and the polarized centers then polarize nearby carbon-13 atoms occurring naturally in the diamonds. These hyperpolarized C-13 atoms can be detected by NMR imaging. Chemists now demonstrate...
RCMP are investigating after recent vandalism against nesting swallows turned deadly.
