From ancient DNA frozen in Siberian permafrost to cutting-edge CRISPR engineering, the quest to revive the woolly mammoth sits at the crossroads of climate science, conservation ethics, and biotechnology. This blog explores the promise—and the profound risks—of bringing Ice Age giants back to a warming world, and what the mammoth revival reveals about our responsibility to the planet.

In a world where forests burn, rivers turn toxic, and ecosystems collapse, ecocide is no longer invisible—it is a crime against life itself. From Vietnam to the Amazon, and from industrial spills in Europe to wars that scar the land, this blog explores the urgent push to recognize ecocide under international law, holding governments and corporations accountable for environmental destruction before it’s too late.

Hidden in the depths of the Amazon rainforest, fungi like Pestalotiopsis microspora are quietly devouring plastic, offering a natural solution to one of the world’s most urgent crises. From microplastics in oceans to overflowing landfills, these remarkable organisms could transform how we manage waste, showing that nature may already hold the answers we’ve been searching for.

Here we explain the science behind these plastic-eating fungi and explore their potential to reshape the fight against global plastic pollution.

Beneath Ireland’s rolling green fields lies a hidden truth: the island has lost nearly all of its native forests. Once home to thriving woodlands that shaped culture, ecology, and life itself, Ireland now sees these forests survive only in fragments. Yet amid this loss, communities, schools, and volunteers are planting anew—reintroducing native trees, restoring ecosystems, and nurturing a deep connection to the land. Small acts of care are growing into a nationwide movement of ecological and cultural renewal.

This blog is about Ireland’s journey from near-total deforestation to community-led reforestation, showing how ordinary people are restoring native forests and hope for the future.

Every year, thousands of lions, leopards, elephants, and other iconic animals are killed for trophies, their lives reduced to commodities in a global trade that spans continents. Trophy hunting isn’t conservation—it’s the destruction of wildlife, ecosystems, and the cultural memory of animal populations. Captive-lion farms, canned hunts, and unregulated trade expose animals to unimaginable suffering, while the alleged economic benefits rarely reach local communities. From Cecil the lion to Xanda, the stories of hunted animals reveal a system built on profit, not protection. There’s an alternative: ethical tourism, photographic safaris, sanctuaries, and longevity-based conservation models that prioritize living wildlife over trophies.

Discover the realities of trophy hunting and learn how you can take action to protect endangered species, empower local communities, and help rewrite the ledger for wildlife that deserves life, not death.

Before there were cities, before the plough sliced the earth or walls divided the land, there were people of the forest—skin bronzed by ancient suns, eyes glinting blue like glacial meltwater. They were the first Europeans: hunters, gatherers, wanderers whose bones tell stories older than nation or race. In their DNA, we find no linearity—only movement, adaptation, and the restless shaping hand of time.

This blog tells their story: of migrations written in blood, of faces forgotten by history, of a Europe far darker, far wilder, than we ever imagined.

Among the ruins where windows gape and the air still hums with yesterday’s catastrophe, a dark bloom rises — quiet, unseen, and impossibly alive. These are not the green shoots of spring, but something older, stranger — organisms that weave life from what we called death.

This blog journeys into the hidden lives of radiotrophic fungi — to ask what they can teach us about resilience, redemption, and the future of survival.

Lough Neagh is dying — not by accident, but by design. Poisoned by decades of political neglect, agricultural runoff, and unchecked industry, Ireland’s largest lake has become a symbol of everything we refuse to face.

This blog uncovers how government silence, broken environmental protections, and profit-driven policies allowed a toxic bloom to thrive where clean waters once flowed. What’s killing the lake is not just algae — it’s us.

Now shift your gaze toward a few million years. The forest grows taller, denser, wiser. Enter Archaeopteris—the first “true” tree. Unlike its Cladoxylopsid cousins, it boasts deep roots, flat leaves, and a sturdy, woody trunk. It looks almost familiar, yet it still spawns spores like a fern. In the Late Devonian, Archaeopteris dominated entire continents, transforming floodplains into global greenhouses and pumping oxygen into the sky. Its leafy canopy fed rivers. Its roots reworked the soil. This wasn’t just a tree—it was an ecological revolution.

This blog traces the forgotten rise of Earth's earliest forests, revealing how trees like Archaeopteris reshaped the planet—and why their legacy matters today.

Discover the fascinating intersection of science and philosophy in the quest to revive the extinct dire wolf. This blog examines the profound questions and ethical considerations behind genetic modification and ecological restoration, highlighting our deep connection to the past and our responsibilities to the future.

This is what a guardian looks like. Not in armor, but in feathers. Not with weapons, but with presence. In the heart of the Bolivian Amazon, Indigenous protectors like him have long stood between the forest and its destruction.

This blog tells the story of one such guardian—murdered for defending his ancestral land from illegal mining. It exposes the silenced war waged daily against nature and the people who fight to preserve it. When one of them falls, it’s not just a death. It’s a wound to the Earth itself.
