Blue sea thinking: The power of seaweed
The UK’s marine environment is a powerful ally in tackling climate change. You’re helping us to restore and protect this critical life-support system and to unlock the potential of ‘blue carbon’ through regenerative ocean farming
Video: Behind the scenes at Câr-y-Môr ocean farm
Seaweed isn’t just a vital part of many marine habitats – it could also revolutionise food production, as well as helping to reduce carbon in the atmosphere, in pioneering ocean farms
Let the river run
An Amazonian river has become the focus of a mission to save habitat for rare river dolphins – and protect the people who live on its banks
“Every farming practice needs to restore soil”
Regenerative farming has improved the health of their livestock and the land, say farmers Denise and Angus Walton – and their own health, too
“The food system isn’t working”
James Robinson has embraced regenerative farming so he can support nature – but says consumers need to support the farmers
“Regenerative agriculture is farming with nature”
Cattle farmer Heather Close says there’s no need for chemical intervention when nature can do all the work to create healthy pastures
Farming for nature
Decades of intensive agriculture have transformed the UK’s landscape. Our once-rich soils have been degraded, and wildlife and habitats have declined. So we’re backing farmers in a shift to restore nature and tackle climate change by repairing our broken food system

Thanks to your support, wild tigers are able to roam between the forests of Nepal and India, and local communities can coexist with big cats
Notes from the field: Himalayas
A glimpse of a snow leopard is a rare delight, but the mountains are always alive with their presence, says scientist Rishi Kumar Sharma
Notes from the field: Antarctic seals
How do you survey sleeping seals? Very carefully, reports polar scientist Prem Gill
UK wildlife feeling the heat
The effects of climate change can already be seen close to home, with UK wildlife facing unprecedented challenges
The world’s climate change hotspots
Climate change could make critical ecosystems around the globe unsuitable for wildlife or people. Here are some of the stories from the affected areas
Make nature our climate hero
Nature can be one of our greatest allies in the fight against climate change. We’re calling for urgent action from governments to limit global warming to 1.5ºC – with the help of nature-based solutions
Seeds of hope
One incredible plant species could boost biodiversity, help human livelihoods and play a role in fighting the climate emergency. That’s why we’ve launched the biggest project of its kind in the UK – to restore seagrass
Elephants in the line of fire
