In 2025, tropical rainforest outcomes were shaped less by single interventions than by the interaction of policy, markets, and climate stress.

Deforestation slowed in places, yet fire, conflict, and degradation persisted. Progress depended on institutional capacity more than promises.
The year in rainforests 2025: Deforestation fell; the risks did not
The story of the world’s tropical forests in 2025 was not one of dramatic reversal, but one shaped by accumulated pressure. In several regions, deforestation slowed. In others, loss continued in less…

Camera traps in a Thailand wildlife sanctuary have confirmed flat-headed cats for the first time since 1995, with 29 records in 2024–25.

Fewer than 2,500 remain across Southeast Asia. Conservationists hope the rediscovery sparks protection for threatened peat swamp habitat.

After Cyclone Ditwah, Sri Lanka recorded 1,200+ landslides in two provinces, forcing crisis evacuations. Many affected families still live in high-risk zones with no alternative housing. The NBRO is developing a national building code & new hazard-resilient housing models for flat & sloped terrain.

Clark Lungren spent most of his life in Burkina Faso, becoming a naturalized citizen and grounding conservation in local governance.

Known for Nazinga’s recovery, where wildlife rebounded under community hunting rights, he argued durable protection depends on incentives, not orthodoxy.

For twenty years hunts have had the chance to secure their futures and that of their hounds. They have had twenty years to legalise their activities and actually trail hunt, but instead have chosen to consistently break the law and continue to hunt and kill our wildlife.

Brigitte Bardot used her celebrity to force animal protection into public debate, targeting seal hunts, whaling, fur trapping, and bullfighting.

Through her foundation and uncompromising stance, she treated wildlife defense as a moral duty. She died Dec. 28 in Saint-Tropez at 91.

In the second half of the 20th century, animal protection was often treated in public debate as a minor cause, sentimental at best and unserious at worst. It sat uncomfortably beside politics,…

Mongabay measures success by impact, not clicks.

In 2025, investigations into illegal airstrips in Peru, shark meat procurement in Brazil, and wildlife trafficking in Laos led to police action, congressional scrutiny, and policy responses — proof that credible reporting drives change.

Some of my beauties in full bloom. The Phalaenopsis orchid carries its beauty with quiet grace, its petals unfolding like porcelain wings suspended in still air. It does not rush to bloom, but teaches patience through its slow, deliberate opening. Its presence is a whisper rather than a shout.
