The sounds of singing birds drifting through a leafy forest may do more than create a peaceful atmosphere; they could measurably improve mental health. A new study has found that spending just 10 minutes in a restored urban forest while listening to birdsong reduced people’s stress, increased positive emotions and made them feel more mentally…

A new study which was done across tropical countries suggests that non-native trees can become surprisingly common in young regenerating forests, especially where the canopy is still open. But as the forest matures and the canopy closes, their share tends to decline. The study was published in Nature’s July 2026 journal.The research analysed 1,561 forest…

The great Bermuda snail, which was once considered to be lost forever, is now safe and secure. The species known as Poecilozonites bermudensis was believed to be lost for over 40 years until a small surviving population was rediscovered in a damp alleyway in the North Atlantic archipelago’s capital, Hamilton, about ten years ago. They…
