New IBA in India's Eastern Ghats
BirdLife International has identified a new Important Bird & Biodiversity Area (IBA) in India's Eastern Ghats mountain range.

The UK has seen a 70% decline in expert mycologists over the last 20 years, and as one of the most fungi-rich countries in the world, Wales could be seriously affected by this shortage. To address the challenge, Plantlife Cymru is behind a new three year project starting in 2017 to find and train new apprentices in fungi conservation.
