Fifteen 91�������� undergraduate students have been selected as members of the Rachel Carson Scholars Program, which aims to train the next generation of marine conservation leaders.

The return of sea otters, a top predator, to a California estuary is helping slow erosion and restore the estuary’s degraded geology.

Eighteen emerging leaders from water and wastewater utilities across the United States have been selected as 2024 Fellows of the Nicholas School for the Environment at 91��������’s Water Innovation Leadership Development (WILD) Environment+ program.

Meet the Vengosh Lab, learn more about its research focus, PhD students' experience in the lab and the opportunities the lab offers Duke students.

The largest analysis yet of African savannah elephant populations shows that conservationists have successfully protected elephants in southern Africa for the last 25 years. However, the pattern varies regionally, with some elephant populations soaring and others still facing large declines. The key to long-term stability appears to be connecting large core areas with neighboring buffer zones, as opposed to well-protected but isolated protected areas known as “fortress conservation.”

The vast size of the ocean makes tracking human activity there challenging, but a new study provides a startling glimpse of how extensive this activity has become in recent years and how much of it occurs outside of public monitoring.
