Dr. Penny Morrill’s latest research project may help detect life on other planets.

The University of Prince Edward Island and the Souris and Area Branch of the PEI Wildlife Federation have received $48,000 from the Atlantic Salmon Conservation Foundation (ASCF) and $7,000 from the PEI Wildlife Conservation Fund for Atlantic salmon research, monitoring, and conservation in three rivers in Eastern PEI.

Discovering the little-known effects chemicals released in our lakes and rivers might have on the surrounding wildlife and ecosystems can give scientists and conservationists powerful insight into the development of better, more efficient environmental guidelines.

Plastic pollution in the world’s oceans is now widely recognised as a major global challenge – but we still know very little about how these plastics are actually reaching the sea.

The more plant species live in grasslands and forests, the more insect species find a habitat there. 

The quest to keep plastic out of landfills and simultaneously satisfy the needs of the food industry is filled with obstacles.

Research led by the University of Southampton has used data collected by volunteer bird watchers to study how the importance of wildlife habitat management depends on changing temperatures for British birds.

A collaboration between astrophysicists, conservationists and ecologists aims to save rare and endangered animals.

With increasingly more pressure from resource development and climate change, protecting the Arctic and its wildlife is more important than ever.

Two isolated mountain lion populations in Southern California’s Santa Ana and Santa Monica Mountains are at risk of local extinction, perhaps as soon as within 50 years, according to a study published in the journal Ecological Applications.
