A first-of-its-kind study shows conservation is worth investing in, researchers say.

Conservation actions are effective at reducing global biodiversity loss, according to a major study.

International researchers spent 10 years looking at measures, from hatching Chinook salmon to eradication of invasive algae.

The authors said their findings offered a “ray of light” for those working to protect threatened animals and plants.

One out of every three species monitored is currently endangered because of human activities.

    On one hand, it’s a good thing. On the other hand, it’s not that surprising that the group specifically dedicated to biodiversity is slowing biodiversity loss.

    I find it so odd that positive news is titled using negative words like ‘slowing’ and ‘loss’. Makes me sad.

        I guess for a similar reason as to why you’re exasperated at my comment. Also because I scroll through the headline and initially think, ‘more bad news’… When it’s not!
