a canopy above the coffee shrubs birds call from every direction and the system looks far more natural than a monoculture field for years this kind of agroforestry has been promoted as a win win

are often celebrated as a conservation success story their numbers have increased thanks to long term protection from conservation organisations park authorities and local communities however the remaining two populations live in small environmentally constrained habitats and recent veterinary records have documented cases of severe gastritis associated with strongylid nematodes in virunga

african penguin the african penguin spheniscus demersus population has plummeted by nearly 80 in the past three decades in part due to competition with the local purse seine fishery which targets the penguins key prey of sardines and anchovies to understand the role of fisheries in the penguin decline a fishery closure experiment was conducted between 2008 and 2021 around two pairs continue

what actually works in conservation insights from fifty years of conservation evidence biodiversity is declining fast and with limited funding and resources in conservation it matters that these resources go towards actions that genuinely make a difference so how do we know which actions deliver results and which don t the answer depends on the quality of evidence behind them which is largely
