'Unique' mammal's population took a nosedive. Now CA zoo hopes to help breed 'puggles'

The world's first platypus conservation center is open, aiming to crack the code on platypus breeding and improve conservation efforts for the declining species.

Opinion | Bird Flu Is Already Here. Just Look at the Millions Killed.

Humans impact bird flu spread significantly through activities like factory farming and habitat destruction.

What is biodiversity and why does it matter? DW 05/22/2024

Biodiversity is crucial for healthy ecosystems, providing key services for all life forms on Earth.

Why are great animal migrations collapsing? DW 02/12/2024

Animal migrations are remarkable feats of nature, with species traveling thousands of kilometers to find food, avoid cold winters, and reach breeding grounds.
Migratory animals face increasing threats, including habitat destruction, climate change, and illegal hunting, highlighting the need for conservation efforts.

Western monarch butterflies overwintering in California dropped by 30% last year, researchers say

The number of western monarch butterflies overwintering in California dropped by 30% last year, likely due to heavy rainfall.
The destruction of milkweed habitat, increased pesticide use, and climate change are all contributing to the decline of western monarch butterfly populations.

One in five migratory species faces extinction, UN report warns

One in five migratory species is threatened with extinction and 44% are seeing their populations decline.
Humans are the main cause of the threats to migratory species, through habitat destruction, hunting, pollution, and climate change.

Biodiversity: Can extinctions be stopped? DW 03/05/2024

Humans are driving the sixth mass extinction by significantly increasing the extinction rate of species through activities like deforestation and pollution.
Conservation measures have been able to reverse declines in some species, but efforts may fail if the approach is not correct.

Biodiversity: Can extinctions be stopped? DW 03/05/2024

Humans are driving the sixth mass extinction with an extinction rate pushed to around 27,000 annually.
Conservation measures, including breeding programs, environmental laws, and reserves, have helped reverse declines in some species, but are insufficient to compensate for rapid global extinction rates.
