To stop deforestation for agricultural use, we need to transform the way we produce and consume food

Wrapping fertilisers in degradable plastics is showing promise for increasing food production while reducing pollution

The number of Australian homes damaged or destroyed by weather-related disasters is now the highest in ten years, shows the annual HILDA survey

New research finds the more Antarctic ice melts, the more the ocean is flooded by melt water, the more the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is likely to slow down – creating a vicious climate change cycle

We do need to control disease-carrying mosquitoes in Australia, but more research is needed on GM strains before their proposed release in Queensland

Over the last few weeks, parts of Australia have been inundated by rain, scorched by heatwaves and slammed by storms. Is this our country's new normal?

By blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, modern homes often invite mosquitoes. But there are ways to prevent them and the diseases they carry

With extreme fire seasons on the rise, combining science, strategic planning and proactive management can help us face these mounting challenges

Reporting animals in trouble can make a huge difference to our understanding of wildlife health and disease patterns
