Wars don't just affect people, the long term effects can destroy the environment as easily as they destroy lives.

It's not just what is in our diets that determines our food footprint, where the crops are grown matters too.

We haven't discovered all of the tree species on the planet yet, but will we drive them to extinction before we do?

These two resins have been thought of as valuable for thousands of years, but now the trees that produce them are in danger.

An experiment at daycares in Finland shows simple environmental changes can actually affect us in biological ways.

Planting coastal vegetation to prevent erosion and reduce flood risk is a lower carbon solution than building concrete breakwater blocks.

The world's largest living thing is being slowly eaten by deer (but climate change is playing a part).

A 150-year-old note from Charles Darwin is inspiring a change in the way forests are planted today.

We write a lot about the problems with our oceans, but there are also reasons to have a little hope for the future.

Twenty three more species are declared extinct with man-made climate change and habitat destruction are largely to blame.

Romanian forests are disappearing at an alarming rate due to illegal logging which corrupt state institutions have been unable to curb.

As the climate changes, so do warm-blooded animals. Warmer temperatures are causing numerous species to try and stay cooler through various evolutionary adaptations.

We don't pay enough attention to what is happening under our feet. Prof. Claire Chenu, a soil expert, explains why it matters.

Should we reforest or rewild, and just how does rewilding work anyway? Monks Wood shows a unique 60 year old example

Planting trees can have a real effect on climate both locally and globally, including a big effect on rainfall levels.

The oceans are our greatest shared resource, and sustainable development can never really happen if they are not healthy.

What would happen if all the farmland in the tropics, from Brazil to Congo and Indonesia, was abandoned and turned back into forests?

Planting trees is great, but it is not enough. We need to stop deforestation and to restore existing forests worldwide.

Cathy Watson, Chief of Partnerships at World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), explains why it is time to 'go big' on agroforestry.

Spiders are misunderstood, but they need our help, and we may need to overcome our biases and fears to make that happen.

Last week the European Court of Justice upheld a ban on neonicotinoid insecticides that have been linked with killing bees.

Climate change threatens everything on our planet, including our morning cup of coffee, but a forgotten wild species could save it.

A lot of good happened to the natural world during a year of less human interference, but it's not all just sunshine.

Dying coral reefs are far too quiet, but using artificial healthy reef sounds can bring fish species back and kickstart a revival.

'The Year Earth Changed' shows just how well the world starts to recover when humans get out of the way.

With our unstable climate, we think that anything being 'stable' should be good, but in the case of the ocean that's not the case.

A new report shows that the number of oceanic sharks and rays worldwide has decreased by 71% since 1970.

We all know that they store carbon and stop soil erosion, here are a few more amazing and less known things about trees.

Everyone respects a bee but flies get a lot less love, despite the reality that they are hugely important pollinators.

Planting new trees is great, but they aren't nearly as good for us as preserving the mature street trees we already have.

Nearly one-third of all oak species (31%) are considered threatened with extinction, according to a new Red List report.
