In 1976, mammologist Roger Powell watched a fisher kill a porcupine. Confronted with most predators – wolf, coyote, lynx, bobcat – the porcupine is unassailable. It needs only turn its back, allowing a rosette of 30,000 quills to protect its vulnerable face, and if the predator persists, it can tuck that face into any nook […]| The Wandering Rook

Researchers improved the survival and growth of *Serianthes nelsonii*, an endangered tree, by using under-plant mirrors to reflect sunlight. This technique increased light availability by over 70%, boosting seedling survival by 160% and plant height by 170%, offering a low-cost conservation strategy for threatened species.| The Global Plant Council

A new study reveals that mature forests play a crucial role in combating climate change by capturing more carbon dioxide (CO2) than previously thought. Researchers found that older trees increased wood production by nearly 10% when exposed to higher CO2 levels, acting as medium-term carbon stores and natural climate solutions.| The Global Plant Council
WILL WE MANAGE FIRE OR WILL FIRE MANAGE US? The question isn’t if fire will happen, but rather when it will strike. Fire is an intrinsic part of our ecosystem’s evolution.
