Study warns of major funding gap for 30x30 biodiversity goal
A new report warns that international funding for the global 30x30 biodiversity goal is rising but still billions short.

Biodiversity Improves Tree Defenses Against Hungry Herbivores | Happy Eco News
Biodiversity improves tree defenses through associational resistance. Tree seedlings in 15-species plots resisted deer and insect attacks better than monocultures. Selective browsing on competitive species and protection from unpalatable neighbors drove the benefit. The findings highlight how herbivores shape forest composition, resilience, and biodiversity’s protective power.
