Dear Jane,
International Day for Biodiversity falls within the month of May. As threats to the world's species and habitats continue to grow, it's worth remembering that we can all have a positive impact on biodiversity close to home; in Take Action, read how your efforts in the garden can go a long way to encouraging native species.
The biodiversity theme continues in Research Focus, which explores Earthwatch's current work in a French vineyard. And hot off the press, read how our scientists are shedding light on coral reef research - 'Will corals survive stormy future?'.
Finally, please share our good work with your friends, family and work colleagues by forwarding this newsletter on to them.
Best wishes,
Jane Nijssen,
Editor
