Vertebrate populations exposed to combinatorial threats—including climate change, disease, pollution, and invasive species—decline significantly faster than those affected by single, widely recognized pressures like habitat loss or exploitation.

"The proposed change to statute would apply only to public land…"

It's a small step forward, but it needs to go a lot further.

The desert is getting too hot for Joshua trees. Can we just … move them?

To protect the southwest’s iconic Joshua trees, scientists are tinkering with their genetics and searching for climate havens in—and sometimes outside of—their existing habitat.

High taxes and costs are leaving timber unsold in Nepal’s community forests, draining funds for conservation and local livelihoods.

Officials warn the surplus could weaken forest management and fuel illegal logging — even as forest cover reaches 44%.

Nepal’s community forests sit on unsold timber

KATHMANDU — The Khorthali Community Forest User Group in Dolakha, central Nepal, produced 1,189 cubic meters (42,000 cubic feet) of timber in 2025 — roughly 18 standard 40-foot shipping containers in volume.

¿Cómo podemos hablar con los animales? Dilemas éticos y un protocolo para estudiar la comunicación animal
  • El PEPP Framework propone principios éticos y legales para investigar la comunicación animal, ante riesgos que van desde el estrés hasta la manipulación de las especies.
  • El proyecto surge de académicos de la Universidad de Nueva York, quienes identificaron una brecha regulatoria frente al uso de tecnologías como IA, robótica o bioacústica.
  • El marco plantea proteger la autonomía animal, prevenir daños y asegurar la participación de comunidades locales e indígenas.
  • Por el momento, la adhesión es voluntaria, pero se espera que así se inicie un tránsito hacia la creación de regulaciones vinculantes.

¿Cómo podemos hablar con los animales? Dilemas éticos y un protocolo para estudiar la comunicación animal

En una ocasión, un grupo de investigadores reprodujo la voz de un elefante frente a una manada. El efecto fue devastador: los animales se alteraron y mostraron señales de profundo estrés porque aquel elefante había muerto tiempo atrás.

Scientists call for ethics rules as AI fuels animal communication research
Researchers have proposed a new ethical framework to regulate emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, used to decode animal communication, Ana Cristina Alvarado reports for Mongabay Latam.

The proposed guidelines, known as the PEPP Framework, which stands for Prepare, Engage, Prevent and Protect, lay out the principles for studying animal communication responsibly. Scientists at the More than Human Life Program (MOTH) at New York University and the Cetacean Translation Initiative (CETI) warn that poorly regulated research can cause harm to animals.

“Even routine recording and playback can cause stress in animals,” CETI founder David Gruber told Alvarado by email.

In one documented case, researchers studying elephant communication played a recorded call from an individual that had already died, causing significant distress to the elephants that heard its call. The elephant family went wild calling and looking around for their dead relative. The dead elephant’s daughter called for days afterward.

If you read ecology books printed in the 70s and 80s, they were absolutely convinced that whales and tigers would not survive the century. There's a whole plot in Star Trek about how whales are extinct actually. Here in Argentina, we were sure that yaguaretés would have gone extinct. It was thought that rainforests would be forever lost, because there was no way that such complex ecosystems would be restored.

Biodiversity Conservation: Agreement Relies on Controversial Financing Approaches

"Relying on failed approaches such as REDD and biodiversity credits or advocating for the financing of forest protection through speculation on the capital market will only aggravate the biodiversity crisis."

"Controversial financing instruments have gained importance in biodiversity conservation efforts since the Global Biodiversity Framework was adopted in 2022. Biodiversity certificates and nature conservation funds primarily generate their income on the capital market. But turning nature into an investment object will not stop the biodiversity crisis." >>

Conservation is frequently mischaracterized in the public consciousness as a sentimental exercise—an aesthetic preference for charismatic megafauna or a romantic desire to preserve untouched wilderness for recreation. However, within the rigorous frameworks of modern biological and physical sciences, conservation is recognized as a fundamental "crisis discipline."

Once hunted for oil and meat, whale sharks are now being rescued by fishers along India’s western Arabian Sea coast.

Since 2001, the Wildlife Trust of India has trained fishing communities in safe disentanglement and compensated damaged nets, helping free more than 1,000 accidentally caught sharks.

Experts say payments remain insufficient and call for stronger support to protect the fishers driving these rescues.

Mines, dams move in as protection slips in a Cambodian wildlife sanctuary

cross-posted from: slrpnk.net/post/33848718


  • Since 2020, at least five companies have been granted mining concessions in an land designated as a community protected area adjoining Cambodia’s Lumphat Wildlife Sanctuary.
  • Satellite analysis and on-the-ground reporting reveal that marble extraction has been underway since 2021, with companies piling up and shipping out thousands of blocks of marble, leaving behind cleared forests and water-filled pits.
  • Government officials and mining companies did not respond to interview requests, but local residents and community chiefs say they have not been consulted, or been given adequate compensation, as quarries tore through land in the community zone.
  • Lumphat sanctuary is also under pressure from industrial agriculture and a planned hydropower development.
