# Klimaatverandering is tans, naas ooruitbuiting en habitat verswakking, die derde-grootste bedreiging vir die aarde se natuurlewe. Dis volgens ‘n nuwe studie wat in die joernaal BioScience, gepubliseer is nadat meer as 70-duisend spesies wilde diere ontleed is. Klimaatverandering bedreig sowat vyf-persent van die spesies wat ontleed is. Daar is gevind dat klimaatverandering toenemend ongewerwelde […]
# ‘n Koalisie van 13 internasionale voorstanders van natuurlewebewaring bly verbind tot die bewaring van biodiversiteit en die bevordering van volhoubare ontwikkeling. Die Samewerkende Vennootskap oor Volhoubare Natuurlewebestuur steun lande en ander deelnemers om die Kunming-Montreal Wêreld-diversiteitsraamwerk in werking te stel. Die raamwerk bied ‘n wêreldstrategie om verlies aan biodiversiteit te stop en om te […]
# Die Wetenskaplike en Nywerheidsnavorsingsraad sê dringende optrede is nodig om grond-vernietiging in Suid-Afrika te vermy, te verminder en om te keer. Volgens die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Biodiversiteitsinstituut se nasionale biodiversiteit-assessering word ongeveer 50-persent van die land se ekostelsels as bedreig geklassifiseer. Die bedreigde ekostelsels sluit in die fynbos-bioom in die Wes- en Oos-Kaap, en KwaZulu-Natal […]

# Climate change is now the third-greatest threat to the planet’s wildlife, following overexploitation and habitat degradation. This is according to a new study, published in the journal BioScience, which analysed more than 70-thousand wild animal species. Nearly five-percent of the assessed species are threatened by climate change. The study found that marine invertebrates, such as […]
# A coalition of 13 global champions for wildlife remains committed to the conservation of biodiversity and the advancement of sustainable development. The Collaborative Partnership on Sustainable Wildlife Management works to support countries and partners to implement the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The framework sets a global strategy to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. The […]
# Die Wits-universiteit se Klimaatsrisiko-modelleringsprojek het ʼn toelaag van die Bezos Earth Fund se AI Grand Challenge for Climate and Nature ontvang. Die fase een-toelaag van sowat 925-duisend-rand sal die grensverskuiwende projek lei wat daarop gemik is om weervoorspelling reg oor Afrika te hervorm. Die projek is gekies vir sy moontlikhede om ʼn groot klimaat- […]
# The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research says urgent action is needed to avoid, reduce and reverse land degradation in South Africa.
