Decades-long environmental studies can reveal trends caused by climate change better than projects that last only a year or two.
New research shows that solar farms can boost biodiversity and benefit nature under the right policies and appropriate management.
Researchers have been estimating the vast numbers of insects, including many pollinators, migrating at one location in the Pyrenees. But climate change and habitat loss could affect their abundance.
NoMowMay is a catchy concept, but it doesn’t provide the food that native North American pollinators need or lasting support for them.
Solar development isn’t always good for the land, but pairing it with agriculture can produce multiple benefits.
The nutritional needs of bees are complex and monoculture crops aren’t providing a diverse diet. Introducing more diverse wildflower meadows and green spaces could benefit wild pollinators.
