The carcasses of 18 wolves have been found in an Italian national park within the space of a week in an apparent series of poisonings described by conservationists as the most serious crimes against wildlife in Italy in a decade.

White park cattle are an ancient breed, different to the selectively bred commercial animals usually associated with farmed cattle. Price described them as a semi-wild animal that was partially domesticated.

"Extending the spring crab season with pop-up gear helps support an economically vital fishery while preventing whale entanglements. It's a true 'win-win' for fisheries and wildlife."

The poem opens as the world sleeps, and the moon slides in under the turnstile after dark, moves in a silent arc at an ancient pace, dabs its ointment on the gibbon's paw, nitpicks its way through the troop of gorillas, smooths the silverback's fur.

Fungi are some of the most important things in the world. They feed 90% of terrestrial plants. Without them, there is no life on the Earth.

The Florida scrub jay, listed as 'critically imperiled' by NatureServe, is one of the 15 bird species fully endemic to the United States.

'Our results show that the next 20 years are critical,' lead author Dr Rob Cooke told the Daily Mail. 'By around 2050, we reach a point where the choices we make on emissions and land use will largely determine whether Britain moves towards a much more degraded or a much more nature‑positive future.'

Longnose spurdog sharks, locally known as kalb al-bahr, are sold on Libyan fish markets. Fishermen catch them even though they are carrying eggs, driven by economic necessity.

The Martuwarra Fitzroy River is one of Australia's last-remaining relatively intact, undammed tropical river systems. For now. The river faces many threats, for instance, from water use in agricultural irrigation.

"Not only are acts like that illegal, but it's really harming a very important, like, a biodiversity hotspot that we have right out here," Brent Fish, an aquarist with Birch Aquarium, stated.

Three Falls State Park is centered around three waterfalls, including the 128-foot Frontenac Falls, which cascades down through a wooded gorge before meeting the lake.

Research consistently shows that access to green space can significantly boost wellbeing, with studies linking time spent in gardens and parks to lower cortisol levels, improved mood, and sharper cognitive function.

The population of monarch butterflies in Mexico increased 64% this winter, compared with the same period in 2025, offering a glimmer of hope for an insect considered at risk of extinction.

Among African elephants, "Big Tuskers" refers to bulls that grow tusks so long they sometimes scrape the ground. Each one can weigh well over 100 pounds. These giant, ivory incisors continually grow throughout an elephant's life, and males typically have much larger tusks than females.

When Big Bear's celebrity bald eagle couple's eggs were eaten by ravens in late January, they didn't grieve alone. Thousands had watched Jackie and Shadow on livestream, as they meticulously arranged sticks in their nest high in a Jeffrey pine and nibbled each other's feathers in preparation for laying. All seemed just dandy until both eagles left their nest unattended, and ravens swooped in.

I'm not so sure that I've changed. I do not believe that we're going to go out and wholesale land from the federal government. Federal law says that we can't do that from the BLM itself.

Archaeologists have fought the tides to save a 17th-century shipwreck from a popular nudist beach in Dorset. The remains are believed to be part of the Swash Channel Wreck, a Dutch merchant ship called The Fame of Hoorn that ran aground while approaching Poole Harbour in 1631. The wreck was found on Dorset's Studland Beach at the end of January when Storm Chandra washed away the sand that had kept it hidden for almost 400 years.

Designed by Vi.architectuuratelier, De Zwarte Fles office renovation stands on the village square of Zwijnaarde near Gent, Belgium and brings new working life to a former country house shaped by four centuries of change. The project combines a restoration with a compact office addition fronted by a decorative facade, allowing the historic building to return to a residential presence while supporting a contemporary studio program.
