Articles explain what governments are doing about climate change, how renewable energy projects affect local communities and how agriculture is adapting to new conditions. Conservation features cover the continent’s wildlife and ecosystems, alongside advice on sustainable tourism and the global weight of its natural resources.
The section also follows environmental science further afield: microplastics threatening Antarctica’s only native insect, retreating sea ice in the south, a trail camera recording a rare clash between predators, and the story of Prometheus, a 5,000-year-old tree felled by a researcher.
Students and campaigners will find the ecosystem and climate explainers a useful starting point; nature lovers may prefer the wildlife pieces.
