Support local people to protect world’s nature, new report urges, as deadline for global conservation target looms
Support local people to protect world’s nature, new report urges, as deadline for global conservation target looms Jacqueline Garget Tue, 05/12/2026 - 10:00 For better or worse, a huge number of people will be affected by efforts to achieve ‘30x30’ - the internationally-agreed conservation goal to protect and conserve at least 30% of the world’s land and seas by 2030. How many people, and who they are, will depend on which aspects...
Support local people to protect world’s nature, new report urges, as deadline for global conservation target looms
For better or worse, a huge number of people will be affected by efforts to achieve ‘30x30’ - the internationally-agreed conservation goal to protect and conserve at least 30% of the world’s land and seas by 2030. How many people, and who they are, will depend on which aspects of nature are prioritised for protection - but in all scenarios this human context must be a key consideration if plans are to succeed for both people and nature. That’s the message of a new report published in the journa...
Deaf opera singer welcomes new Cambridge-led cochlear implant trial
The UK trial will provide bilateral cochlear implants (cochlear implants on both sides) to some profoundly deaf adults. The results will be used to review NHS guidance for the provision of implants to adults. Each year over 1,000 adults in the UK receive cochlear implants to restore their hearing. Under NHS guidance, adults currently only receive a single (unilateral) implant, yet evidence suggests having two could offer significant improvements in prospects and quality of life and may now be c...
Almost a minute to midnight: Cambridge helps launch open course on nuclear weapons as global tensions rise
An open-source online textbook and course on the current state of nuclear weapons, along with possible futures and global annihilation potential, has been launched by the University’s Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER), at a time when nuclear sabre-rattling is firmly back in the headlines. At the heart of the new course is an examination of how these weapons shape today’s security environment, from geopolitical alliances to the potential for cyber-attacks on warhead facilities, and...
Carbon credits have enabled vital protection of tropical forests, despite being oversold tenfold
This is despite the study confirming that almost eleven times more carbon credits were issued from the REDD+ (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) voluntary carbon market than was justified. Tropical forests are an invaluable global asset under increasing threat, and carbon markets have the potential to contribute substantial funds to their protection. The researchers say future projects must ensure the claimed impacts reflect real reductions in deforestation: the REDD+ carbon...
Racism and socioeconomic stress may alter pregnancy biology, leaving black women nearly three times more likely to die
These altered physiological processes may lead to higher rates of preeclampsia in black women, and higher rates of preterm birth and fetal growth restriction in black babies, compared to white women and their babies. In a major review of published studies, the researchers looked at a range of processes that are vital in the body during pregnancy - including the control of inflammation, and blood flow to the developing fetus. They found these processes are often altered in ways linked to poorer...
Deep-ocean heat has been marching closer to Antarctica, study reveals
The study, led by the University of Cambridge with collaborators from the University of California and published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, compiled long-term ocean measurements collected by ships and robotic floating devices to show that a warm mass called circumpolar deep water has expanded and shifted toward the Antarctic continental shelf over the past 20 years. Previously, scientists hadn’t had enough ocean observations to detect the warming trend. “It’s concerning...
Gambling ads on social media reach more than twice as many men as women
Researchers led by the University of Cambridge analysed 411 advertisements from 88 licensed gambling operators in Ireland and found that young men were reached 2.3 times more than women across Meta platforms including Facebook and Instagram, even if the ads were not directly targeting men. The age group most exposed to gambling advertising was 25 to 34-year-olds, who accounted for over a third of all unique accounts reached, a total of more than 6.2 million impressions. The results are reported...
Deforestation policies are failing to protect against a potentially bigger threat to the Brazilian Amazon
But things are changing, and fast. “2024 was the most extreme year for fires,” Antonio said. “I had never seen anything like it. The forest burned like dry pasture – it was frightening for those of us who risk our lives to protect it.” What Antonio and his fellow firefighters are witnessing on the ground has been backed up by a new study. An international team of researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, have found that the policies that helped reduce deforestation in the Brazilian Amazo...
