As nations negotiate a binding global treaty to tackle plastic pollution, the pressure from industry is to focus more on recycling. But with some figures estimating only nine per cent of plastic is recycled, what are the solutions?

Building frogs a “sauna” made of masonry bricks can help their bodies fight off a devastating skin fungus that has caused some amphibian species to go extinct.

A new study finds that sticking close to the Planetary Health Diet, developed in 2019 to be a more environmentally sustainable way to feed the world, is associated with a lower risk of dying by cancer, and cardiovascular, respiratory and neurodegenerative diseases.

Mildew and other fungi are threats to winemaking that are usually kept in check with fungicides, but new Canadian technology combining ultraviolet light, hydrogen peroxide and ozone is helping to kill these plant pathogens without chemical sprays.

Progress made when it comes to the protection of the world’s forests was thwarted by last year’s historic wildfire season in Canada, according to a new report.

In many parts of the world, understanding what causes serious pollution and when it happens is unclear due to a lack of air quality monitoring. The solution, say experts, doesn’t need to be expensive and can lead to better public health policy.

A new report finds that last year’s unprecedented wildfire season made Canada’s air quality up to three times worse than the World Health Organization’s recommended safe levels. As climate change sets the conditions for even longer and stronger wildfire seasons, experts say taking precautions is critical to our health.

A warming world will create even more dangerous conditions for ape species across hundreds of African habitats, according to new scientific research.

New research into baleen whales shows how they hit such low notes — as well as the limits to how deep in the water they can go to talk to each other. It suggests most of their communication happens closer to the surface, right in the zones of ship noise.
