Endangered Species Act listing is linked with greater research effort for U.S. butterflies
Conservation strategies for at-risk species can be aided significantly by research on topics such as ecology, life history, and threats, yet research effort is lacking for many species facing elevated extinction risk. Here we investigated whether listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) was associated with research effort for U.S. butterflies, and whether that effort was higher before or after ESA listing. We found that ESA-listed species had significantly more peer-reviewed...
Hawai'i's last false killer whales threatened by nutritional stress and warming seas
Hawai'i's last false killer whales threatened by nutritional stress and warming seas Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A seven-year collaborative study has revealed alarming fluctuations in the health of Hawaii's endangered insular false killer whales, with some individuals losing nearly a quarter of their body weight in just a few months. Published in Endangered Species Research, the findings provide the first quantitative evidence that nutritional stress and...
Rainfall and landslides last year in Indonesia killed 7% of world’s rarest great apes – study
Critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan population falls after extreme weather – fuelled by climate crisis – in North SumatraExtreme rainfall and landslides fuelled by the climate crisis killed 7% of the remaining population of the world’s rarest great ape, a study has found, prompting fears for the species’ survival. The research suggests 58 out of the remaining 800 critically endangered Tapanuli orangutans (Pongo tapanuliensis) were killed after more than 1,000mm (39in) of rain fell over...

Moms' learned fear of snakes gets inherited by offspring in a critically endangered mouse, biologists discover
Moms' learned fear of snakes gets inherited by offspring in a critically endangered mouse, biologists discover Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Conservationists often raise the young of endangered species in captivity before releasing them into suitable habitats as adults. The benefits are obvious: survival to adulthood is typically high, as captive animals are safe from predators and food scarcity. Unfortunately, a lack of exposure to enemies in early life may...
Critically endangered Chinese pangolin found in Nepal's sacred forest
June 8, 2026 report Critically endangered Chinese pangolin found in Nepal's sacred forest Paul Arnold Author Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The rare Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) has been spotted for the first time in Sunsari District in eastern Nepal. This brings the total number of districts in the country where the critically endangered species has been documented to 28. Chinese pangolins are small, solitary, nocturnal mammals native to South and...
New tech enables scientists to see emperor penguins in darkness
New tech enables scientists to see emperor penguins in darkness Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Research led by Professor Michelle LaRue from the School of Earth and Environment at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury (UC) published in Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation shows that high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery can track emperor penguins through the Antarctic winter, opening a new way to monitor an endangered species...
Great White Sharks Have Been in the Mediterranean Sea for Millions of Years—but Sightings Are Incredibly Rare
An encounter with a great white shark is undoubtedly a “thrilling” experience, considered especially rare in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The latest sighting, which has attracted media attention and made headlines around the world, occurred during a dive in the Strait of Sicily carried out by volunteers from Ghost Diving and Healthy Seas, organizations dedicated to protecting marine ecosystems. The encounter was documented by diver Derk Remmers, who told the BBC that he struggled to...
Scientists race to collect the last seeds from a critically endangered tree before it goes extinct
Scientists race to collect the last seeds from a critically endangered tree before it goes extinct Seeds from the last surviving wild Dendroseris neriifolia tree are now stored in Kew Gardens' Millennium Seed Bank as researchers work to find ways to reintroduce the species into the wild. One of the world's rarest trees, a cliffside plant with just one known individual left in the wild, may have a new chance at survival after scientists collected hundreds of seeds from the lone survivor's...
