Save Biodiversity Hotspots: EDGE Species in Madagascar Rainforests & Cape Floristic Region Biodiversity hotspots pack extraordinary concentrations of unique life forms into shrinking spaces. These irreplaceable zones, like the Madagascar rainforests and Cape Floristic Region, shelter EDGE species that evolution crafted over millions of years. Habitat conservation here fights back against rapid losses, preserving entire ecosystems for the planet's health. What Makes Biodiversity Hotspots Critical? Biodiversity hotspots earn their name through strict criteria: at least 1,500 vascular plant species found nowhere else, plus over 70% loss of original habitat. Norman Myers first mapped 25 such areas in 1988; today, experts recognize around 36 covering just 2.4% of Earth's land. Yet they host half the world's plant species and 42% of vertebrates, making them vital for medicine, food security, and ecological balance. Endemic species dominate these hotspots—creatures like lemurs in Madagascar rainforests or proteas in the Cape Floristic Region exist only locally. Threats mount fast: agriculture claims vast tracts, logging feeds global timber demands, and climate shifts disrupt wet-dry cycles. Without action, scientists warn of a sixth mass extinction, with hotspots as ground zero. Researchers at Conservation International have tracked these patterns for decades, showing how hotspots like Madagascar lose forest at twice the global rate. Protecting them isn't optional; it underpins human...

jaguar stalking a caiman in the wild

close up of a couple of baby jaguar cubs

The only big cat that kills by crushing the skull. Not the throat. The skull.
Jaguars have the strongest bite of any cat on Earth, powerful enough to pierce turtle shells and take down caimans twice their size.

And somehow, the cubs are this cute.

The rise of regenerative travel: Discover the retreat where every stay supports rainforest conservation and restoration If we’re lucky, travel can be a life-changing experience. But what if our adventures could also leave a positive impact on the places and people we visit? That’s the idea behind regenerative travel, a philosophy that goes beyond sustainable travel to not just leave a destination as you found it, but to try and make a positive difference. Ecuador’s Mashpi Lodge has built its entire model on this principle. As one of the world’s leading regenerative travel destinations recognised for its conservation-led approach, it not only offers guests the chance to experience a breathtaking natural wonder – but to contribute to a project working to preserve it. Sustainability has long been woven through the DNA of award-winning travel operator Metropolitan Touring, who have been sharing the wonders of South America with travellers for over 70 years. Guided by a respect for nature and culture, their thoughtfully crafted itineraries are designed to provide extraordinary experiences while also creating a positive impact. And at Mashpi Lodge, both are achieved in abundance, with the Lodge funding its conservation and research programmes through its operations, including guest stays. An incredible setting By choosing a stay in Mashpi Lodge visitors are helping to fund vital...

The Trump Administration's New Biofuels Targets Threaten Carbon-Rich Rainforests President Donald Trump stood on the Truman Balcony at the White House during the “Great American Agriculture Celebration” last week and announced what he called a “historic” boost to the nation’s farmers. The Environmental Protection Agency, Trump said, would require the highest-ever volume of crop-based biofuels to be blended into the nation’s gasoline supply, a move the administration promises will bring jobs and cashflow to an agriculture industry feeling the twin punches of the president’s tariffs and higher fertilizer prices linked to the war in Iran. Trump called himself a “true friend and champion” of the country’s farmers, a key political constituency that he is again actively and festively courting. But some analysts and researchers say the administration’s plan has a critical flaw: The U.S. doesn’t produce enough vegetable oil to satisfy the demands of the new blending targets. That means it will have to import more foreign vegetable oil, which will imperil climate-critical tropical forests thousands of miles away as they’re cleared to grow more oil crops. Beyond these negative climate impacts, the new targets will actually drive diesel prices higher, by 30 cents per gallon this year and 36 cents per gallon in 2027, according to the EPA...

Rainforest Loss Fuels Heat, Thousands Dead Tropical forests are hot, steamy places. But when large numbers of trees are cut down, they get even hotter. Our recent research shows that clearing large areas of the rainforest exposes hundreds of millions of people to higher temperatures, increasing heat stress (when the body's way of controlling temperature fails) and, in some cases, contributing to death. Research suggests that this could be contributing to 28,000 heat-related deaths each year across the tropics every year. Apart from the shade that the rainforest canopy provides, trees also cool their surroundings by pumping water from the soil into the atmosphere - a process known as evapotranspiration . Like sweat evaporating from our skin, this uses energy and cools the air. A single large tropical tree provides as much cooling as several air conditioners running continuously . Across the billions of trees in the Amazon or Congo, this "sweating" cools entire regions . People living in or near tropical forests recognise these cooling benefits. When villagers in rainforest regions in Kalimantan, Indonesia, were interviewed about the benefits tropical forests provide, the most common answer was their ability to keep local temperatures cool . Despite these benefits, tropical forests are being destroyed at an...
