A two-year study compared seven landraces with three modern varieties across ten environments in Chile’s Metropolitan and Ñuble regions. Modern cultivars averaged more grain, while heritage wheats showed greater stability, biomass and intrinsic water-use efficiency.
INTA San Luis and the provincial Ministry of Productive Development trained more than 30 professionals and students on soils, phosphorus, zinc, nitrogen and the agronomic use of residues. The approach replaces general recipes with decisions tailored to each field, season and water supply.
Three bison arrived at El Santuario Reserve in August 2025 and another 44 in November after more than a century of absence. Grazing, trampling, dung and seed transport are already reshaping the landscape, although full recovery requires long-term monitoring.
The transfer sends fifteen animals to Lionsrock in South Africa and fifteen to a Colorado sanctuary. The operation began after years of rehabilitation, but more than twenty other big cats are still awaiting permanent homes.
A Buenos Aires Province Environment Ministry report identified flora, fauna, bluff, natural levee and riverbank values in the area proposed for a multipurpose port. Lawyer Fabián Maggi says it strengthens civil and criminal proceedings, although the courts will determine its legal effect.
The 2026 National Reforestation Day began in the state with 300 native plants in the El Rosario ejido. The announced target is 125,559 plants in La Paz and Comondú, but impact will depend on survival, maintenance and follow-up.
The Galápagos Life Fund detailed its 2025 investment: $6 million for interagency enforcement across two marine reserves, $3.8 million for 18 community projects and $2.6 million to help artisanal fishing adapt through training, technology and satellite monitoring.
A study compared three previously trawled seamounts with Solito, where no evidence of trawling was found. Live corals, sponges and biodiversity have not recovered even after more than a quarter-century without bottom trawling.
The 58,069-hectare Peruvian reserve holds white-sand forests, Nanay River floodplain habitats and hundreds of species. Its proximity to Iquitos supports research and tourism but also exposes highly specialized habitats to logging and urban expansion.
Podocnemis sextuberculata lost more than half its population over 36 years in the Brazilian Amazon and moved from near threatened to endangered on the national list. The decision calls for nest protection, trafficking controls and management with river communities.
University of the Free State researchers tested a non-invasive genetic method to estimate greater kudu populations in a South African reserve. The result closely matched existing counts and can also provide data on sex, diet, parasites and the health of elusive species.
Keene is preparing New Hampshire's first amphibian underpasses, an ecological infrastructure project shaped by community science to reduce road mortality and keep breeding wetlands connected.
