In Myanmar’s Limestone Hills, People and Bats Are Often Too Close for Comfort
Bats are natural reservoirs for many viruses, researchers say, which means managing the ways humans interact with them is vital to managing potential disease spillover, researchers say.

As Nepal Votes, Climate Change Is an Elephant in the Room for Sherpa Community
Sherpa communities are witnessing retreating glaciers, erratic snowfall, avalanches and flooding, consistent with IPCC reports on elevation-dependent warming, changing snow and monsoon patterns and downstream water risks.

After Logging Bans, Australia Turns to ‘Forest Thinning’. Does It Reduce Fire Risk?
Research shows thinning can lower fire severity under some conditions, especially when paired with prescribed burning, but its effectiveness often diminishes during extreme fire weather — the very conditions driving the most destructive fires.

In Thailand, a Coral Cryobank Tries to Buy Time for Dying Reefs
Researchers describe coral cryobanks as a form of “genetic insurance” and ex-situ conservation, but stress they can’t replace in-water protection and must be integrated into broader restoration and marine management strategies.

A Hundred-Year Vision: Gary Tabor on the Rise of Large Landscape Conservation
Informed by his early years in the Adirondacks and a decade in East Africa, Tabor’s work emphasizes that wildlife survival depends on the “connective tissue” between protected areas.
