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.

      Jesus christ why are you sad by good news. Why is the headline your takeaway here?

        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!
