Impact of deep-sea mining on seafloor ecosystem still evident 44 years later
Little is known about the long-term effects of deep-sea mining on the organic matter that supports life on the seafloor. However, as interest in mining the deep sea for rare metals grows, there is concern that disturbing the…

Plants may experience 'optical illusions' that affect their direction of growthA new study from Tel Aviv University reveals how plants, despite having neither a brain nor a nervous system, integrate light coming from multiple directions to determine where to grow. The researchers show how this process…Canada can develop infrastructure and protect biodiversityNearly 200 countries recently came together in Armenia for the 2026 United Nations Biodiversity Conference to review progress toward halting and reversing biodiversity loss.
