Funeral services like burial and cremation can have high environmental costs.

But the British startup Resting Reef is using human and pet ashes to create reef structures that can regenerate marine biodiversity, filter water, prevent coastal erosion, and capture CO2.

"Aren’t researchers supposed to be perfectly objective, unemotional, and neutral about the world we study? I can’t be. I need to declare a conflict of interest regarding Earth:

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have found deep-sea spiders that consume methane.

These three tiny species shift our understanding of how methane cycles through the ocean and show how little we know about the deep-sea ecosystems where the spiders live.

Fifty countries have ratified the High Seas Treaty, which would protect 30% of the world's oceans.

The treaty will only become legally binding after 60 countries join. Major nations including the U.S., U.K., and China have yet to do so.

We cannot afford to keep waiting to protect our oceans.

The damage done to ecosystems by deep sea mining might be irreversible.

Deep-sea mineral extraction could damage biodiversity up to 25 times more than land mining, and restoration could cost twice as much as extraction, according to one report. Read more here:
