While they may be all but lost, Britain is hiding a habitat you might never have expected to find on this cold island.
As these stunning maps reveal, the UK is home to one of the world’s rarest ecosystems: the temperate rainforest.
Although it might seem unlikely, the west coast of Britain is actually one of the few places where these beautiful landscapes can prosper.
While they could have once covered as much as 20 per cent of the country,
While growing up in California in the 1980s, Winifred Frick never saw a condor in the wild. The population of North America’s largest bird, Gymnogyps californianus, had dwindled to nearly zero by 1987 because so many were shot, poisoned or captured.
The few remaining wild condors were brought into zoos in the early 1980s as part of a captive breeding program aimed at restoring the condor population (SN: 4/25/87). A small group of the birds reproduced, and

Over the last 50 years, federal bureaucrats have managed to recover only three percent of endangered species, despite the expansive authority, powers, and funding granted to them by the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
According to a new report from the conservation nonprofit Property & Environment Research Center (PERC), the lead agencies implementing the ESA, NOAA Fisheries and the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), recovered only 57 out of the 1,732 domestic endangered species: or, 3.3%.
The success rate declined further
London’s historic Liverpool Street Station features on the Victorian Society’s latest top ten list of endangered buildings amid a battle to stop its much-criticised redevelopment.
The grade II listed station, which opened in 1875, is set to be transformed by developers as part of £1.5billion proposals which would see the doubling in size of the concourse and the rebuilding of the historic Andaz hotel that neighbours it.
The plans, dubbed ‘grossly opportunistic’ by critics, have prompted the Victorian Society to
The first time Jessica Pate swam beside a manta ray off Florida’s southern coast, the 8-foot-wide fish flipped belly-up and slowed to watch her. “I was kind of obsessed after that,” Pate says. The marine biologist was so hooked that she founded the conservation nonprofit Florida Manta Project and has dedicated the last seven years to studying mantas and their kin.
Her work is paying off. She and her colleagues have since discovered the first known manta nursery in Florida’s
