The role of wetlands in climate change
Researchers have identified coastal wetlands as being potential stores of huge amounts of carbon; as plants die, they decompose and the carbon becomes trapped in the mud rather than releasing it into the atmosphere, making it an excellent carbon store as sea levels rise
Policy review on fracking
The UK's High Court has found that the government's policy on fracking does not reflect what the latest scientific evidence shows; fracking has become a frequently controversial issue due to its high cost and environmental impacts
Wolves to tackle US moose population
