Conservation Areas Help Birdlife Adapt to Climate Change
A warming climate is pushing organisms towards the circumpolar areas and mountain peaks. A recently conducted Finnish study on changes in bird populations reveals that protected areas slow down the north-bound retreat of species.
Pollution in Cities Damaging Insects and Ecosystems

How Much Debris is Lying on Glaciers?
A warming Earth causes the volume of mountain glaciers and their extent to decline globally for decades. At the same time, the cover of many glaciers with debris changes.
