A new study co-authored by Binbin Li and Stuart Pimm outlines what is needed for conservation to benefit both nature and people.

Researchers have found a chemical clue in Italian limestone that explains a mass extinction of marine life in the Early Jurassic period, 183 million years ago. Volcanic activity pumped out CO2, warming oceans and lowering their oxygen levels. The findings may foretell the impact climate change and oxygen depletion might have on today’s oceans.
