Amazon forest can be trained by higher rainfall variability – but may be no match for climate change The Amazon rainforest has evolved over millions of years and even through ice ages. Yet today, human influences and global climate change put this huge ecosystem at risk of large-scale dieback – with… -
Progress of the project We have already collected 14,571 € for the project in Malawi. The organic vegetables are now to be brought to the customers quickly with mobile phones. -
Rainfall extremes are connected across continents: Nature study Extreme rainfall events in one city or region are connected to the same kind of events thousands of kilometers away, an international team of experts finds in a study now published in one of the… -
Global warming didn’t pause - researchers disentangle “hiatus” confusion The reality of ongoing climate warming might seem plainly obvious today, after the four warmest years on record and a summer of weather extremes in the whole northern hemisphere. -
Vertical Farms Agricultural systems are facing some serious problems. Nutritious food is getting more expensive. Agricultural run-off creates massive dead-zones in the ocean. Water tables are falling the world over,… -
Record-wet and record-dry months increased in regions worldwide: climate change drives rainfall extremes More and more rainfall extremes are observed in regions around the globe – triggering both wet and dry records, a new study shows. -
More water in Tunari National Park, Bolivia Naturefund, AGRECOL Andes and CETM are building simple water basins for smallholder families in Tunari National Park in the municipalities of Sacaba, Tiquipaya, Quillacollo and Vinto, which are… -
Conflict of interest policy and caution on gene drives at UN biodiversity talks Climate change and biodiversity losses loom large on the list of global environmental concerns. While the international media attention is squarely focused on the UN process for tackling climate… -
Winter weather extremes in the US and Europe Giant airstreams in the stratosphere bring record-cold temperatures and frigid winds to to the Northeast of the United States. The so-called "polar vortex" are often drivers for such winter weather… -
Project in the Valley of the Bast Palms continues Last year, Naturefund started a pilot project in Malawi and supported 20 smallholder families to switch from conventional cultivation to species-rich cultivation with dynamic agroforestry.
