In general when people encroach upon territory of wildlife, there will be a negative impact on nature and wildlife. It's a competition between populations. However, mankind is with too many and to safeguard people's life including their food, wildlife need to be killed. Industrialisation enabled population growth, brought human wellbeing and wildlife death.

Study findings explain why we rarely see blue whale calves. The explanation hints at when and where the unseen births are happening and where blue whale calves spend their earliest months. The findings offer some hope for the health of the population.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis of terrestrial substrates, such as soil and sand, is a rapid and potentially cost-effective way to monitor rare wildlife species. Especially, when accurate monitoring has been challenging due to large home ranges and low-density populations.

Between snowy winters and holiday songs, many animals come to mind during Christmas.

There are polar bears wearing Santa hats and red-nosed reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh. Turtle doves and the partridge in a pear tree are also immortalized in the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”

But climate change and habitat loss are taking a toll on many beloved animals we associate with the holiday.

Andean bears show behavioural flexibility when it comes to foraging areas. It may help them to regain lost territory quickly with help from targeted conservation measures. Currently high-altitude grasslands bordering cloud forest are key habitats for Andean bears and thus conservation managers.

The occasional spotting of clouded leopards in Bangladesh, what does this say? Are they encroaching on other carnivore's habitat? What is their conservation status in Bangladesh? Dedicated research seems necessary.
