Study highlights crucial role of wildlife in human and ecosystem health and well-being
An international team of researchers including Berkeley Wildlife Faculty Member Alejandra Echeverri, asserts that inadequate recognition of wildlife's benefits to humans can hinder global conservation efforts and policies.
Dense human population is linked to longer urban coyote survival
A new study co-authored by Environmental Science, Policy, and Management professor Christopher Schell suggests that the human element of city life has a bigger impact than the environment on coyote survival.
From Serengeti to Yellowstone
An interview with Arthur Middleton (Stone Center) and Tony Sinclair (University of British Columbia) on bridging migration ecology across continents.
Can ecotourism help promote and celebrate cultural diversity and biodiversity?
Professor Alejandra Echeverri and colleagues show that while Colombia is protecting biodiversity and cultural diversity, both remain mostly inaccessible to tourists.
The problem-solving abilities of urban raccoons
Homeowners may think of raccoons as just mask-wearing backyard bandits, but ongoing research by two Rausser College of Natural Research scientists has found they are actually clever creatures.
Earlier this month, Environmental Science, Policy, and Management professor Christopher Schell and postdoctoral researcher Lauren A. Stanton spoke to ABC7 San Francisco about their research that explores the remarkable learning abilities of raccoons, particularly in urban environments like the Bay Area. By documenting raccoons' behavior through a mix of risk-and-reward and lab-designed puzzles, they aim to uncover how much raccoons understand and how their cleverness has aided in their successful behavior adaptations.
Nearly half of Colombia’s culturally important plant species lack conservation protections
Alejandra Echeverri was the senior author on a paper that was recently featured on the UCLA Institute of the Environment & Sustainability website. The paper addresses how culturally significant plants in Colombia lack the conservation safeguards needed to ensure their survival.
