…Trophic rewilding can expand natural climate solutions
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 27 March 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01631-6
In this Perspective, the authors argue that the restoration of wild animals and their functional roles can enhance natural carbon capture and storage. They call for the scope of natural climate solutions to be broadened to include animals.

Saber-Toothed Thylacosmilus – A Predator With Sideways-Facing Eyes
Whereas most predators have forward-facing eyes, those of the saber-toothed Thylacosmilus were positioned towards the sides, out of the way of the animal’s huge teeth.
A team of scientists recently examined how the prehistoric South American hypercarnivore was able to hunt, despite its unusual features.
Thylacosmilus
Thylacosmilus was a saber-toothed, predatory mammal that lived in South America around 9 to 3 million years ago, during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs of the Neogene Period.
With its huge canines, Thylacosmilus resembled a saber-toothed tiger, but the fearsome prehistoric animal wasn’t a cat, or even a placental mammal.
In fact, Thylacosmilus was a “Sparassodont”, a type of metatherian mammal more closely-related to living marsupials such as kangaroos than to cats.

Release: Broad Coalition of Conservation Organizations Endorses Recommendations to Strengthen Conservation in the 2023 Farm Bill
Washington, DC, Wednesday, March 22, 2023 — Today, thirty-one members of the Conservation Coalition, a group of national and regional organizations collaborating on Farm Bill conservation policy and advocacy, delivered a list of comprehensive farm bill priorities to members of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees.
The group provided specific recommendations for the next farm bill to help ensure that farmers, ranchers, and forest owners have access to a variety of tools to conserve, manage, and enhance natural resources, while increasing productivity, resilience, and the financial viability of their operations.
…In the statement, the group wrote: “We, the undersigned organizations from diverse geographies and constituencies, stand united in calling for a strong,
Risk of isolation increases the urgency and spatial extent of climate change adaptation
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 23 March 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01647-y
Estimations of the risk from sea-level rise are often based on the amount of property inundated by water. However, risk measurements based on isolation — being cut-off from key services owing to road flooding — suggest that the impacts of sea-level rise could be more widespread and may begin earlier than anticipated.
