This study used data from 160 urban sites in England, collected by volunteers taking part in the Wider Countryside Butterfly Survey, in which BTO is a partner. Butterflies were chosen as the species group to investigate because they can be sensitive to small changes in habitat, are commonly seen in urban settings, and can reflect the responses of other insects.

EA Chief Executive warns of a ‘silent spring’ for wildlife if warnings are ignored and urges action ahead of the UN Convention of Biological Diversity. It sets out how significant changes will be needed to how land is used in England, with the need for significant landscape scale interventions and the use of nature-based solutions to help wildlife recover, and for humans to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change.

The management of our coastal waters plays an important role in protecting and conserving our marine ecosystems. The Marine Conservation Team at the MMO are responsible for the implementation of management in certain marine protected areas (MPA) in English waters. We will be writing a series of blog posts explaining what and how we manage these MPAs, starting at the beginning, with what is an MPA?

Travaillant en partenariat avec 18 organisations de France et d’Angleterre, le projet Preventing Plastic Pollution cherche à comprendre et à réduire les impacts de la pollution plastique dans l’environnement marin. En examinant le bassin versant de la source à la mer, le projet identifiera et ciblera les sources et accumulations de plastique, ancrera le changement de comportement dans les communautés locales et les entreprises, et mettra en œuvre des solutions et des alternatives efficaces.

Review recommends introduction of Highly Protected Marine Areas as essential for marine protection and recovery. An independent review led by former Fisheries Minister Richard Benyon, and published today on World Ocean Day, is calling for the introduction of Highly Protected Marine Areas in English waters. The review was commissioned on last year’s world ocean day by then Environment Secretary Michael Gove as part of the Government’s drive to protect our waters. These highly protected marine areas would enable a greater recovery of the marine ecosystem and enhance the Government’s commitment to a national ‘Blue Belt’, which has already seen an area of 92,000 square km protected - 40% of English seas.

The UK government's first strategy on loneliness, recently launched, recognises the importance of green spaces in supporting this web of connections. But England's urban natural environment is increasingly at risk, jeopardising the ambitions of the loneliness strategy from the outset.

De très nombreux animaux marins tels que des étoiles de mer, des crabes, des moules ou encore des homards ont été retrouvés échoués sur les côtes britanniques de la mer du Nord. Les images, diffusées par des internautes depuis le premier week-end de mars, montrent des milliers d’animaux entassés sur des plages du Yorkshire, du Kent et du Norfolk.

A l'aide de micros, des scientifiques enregistrent les sons des écosystèmes naturels. Après les océans et les forêts, une équipe de l'université de Bristol (Royaume-Uni) a dévoilé le monde sonore mystérieux... des mares de la campagne anglaise. Un "orchestre" étonnant.

Les trois femelles seront bientôt rejointes par un mâle en vue d’agrandir le troupeau. Dans une forêt proche de Canterbury (Royaume-Uni), trois bisons ont récemment élu domicile dans le cadre d’un ambitieux projet de réintroduction. C’est la première fois depuis des millénaires que l’animal va à nouveau arpenter le territoire britannique.

Des chercheurs de l’IRD, du CNRS et de l’UGA ont participé à une étude européenne sur les sources de particules fines nocives pour la santé, coordonnée par l'Institut Paul Scherrer (PSI, Suisse). Leurs résultats, publiés dans la revue Nature le 18 novembre 2020, révèlent le caractère nocif des particules fines dans l’atmosphère à travers leur potentiel oxydant. Ils suggèrent que cet indicateur devrait être pris en compte à l’avenir dans les mesures de régulation de la qualité de l’air, pour la santé des populations dans le monde.

Encore au début de l'année 2020, des chercheurs soulignaient dans une étude que les personnes qui se promènent dans la nature chaque semaine se sentent, physiquement et mentalement, mieux que les autres. Des scientifiques de l'Université d'Exeter (Angleterre) prouvent maintenant que se plonger virtuellement dans un environnement naturel est aussi bénéfique pour le bien-être. Télévision, vidéo à 360° et vidéo immersive.

It seems that David Attenborough’s programme Extinction: the facts moved many people to tears. To me, that is an entirely rational response to the ongoing destruction to the natural world. This relentless loss of the beauty and wonder of our planet not only corrodes the soul, it compromises our own species’ prosperity. But, as I wrote on Friday, grief needs to be matched with a determination to change, bolstered by the belief that we know what it takes to make things better. Today must be the moment that we choose a different path and take steps to revive our world. The Global Biodiversity Outlook 5 (GBO5) will be published later today and will reveal that the world has largely failed in its collective efforts to save nature over the last decade, and none of the targets (set under the UN's Convention on Biological Diversity - the CBD) have been fully met. To pre-empt this, we launched A Lost Decade for Nature, which shines a light on the UK’s limited contribution towards these global biodiversity targets. According to the UK Government’s own assessment of performance, we will miss over two thirds of our commitments for nature made in 2010 (14 out of 20).

MPs have passed a motion making the UK parliament the first in the world to declare an “environment and climate emergency”. The symbolic move – recognising the urgency needed to combat the climate crisis – follows a wave of protests launched by the Extinction Rebellion strikers in recent weeks. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called for the motion to “set off a wave of action from
