IAIA members were recently able to study the results of the second survey on “Impact of COVID-19 on Impact Assessment,” which was done 29 July – 6 August 2020. This survey has resulted in some data that are troubling for the practice of impact assessment (IA), and may require a focused examination by IAIA and its members. The survey had 700 respondents from across the world. One ...
The concepts of ecology, conservation, and restoration typically conjure images of natural woodlands, water systems and air quality. However, a new peer-reviewed perspective by Evolve BioSystems is taking a page from ecology playbooks in an effort to assist neonatologists and other pediatric health care professionals in assessing the state of the infant gut microbiome, which plays a significant ...
Natural features and green spaces in urban environments provide a variety of ecosystem services, such as reducing air pollution and supporting urban biodiversity. Previous studies have also shown that people with access to urban green spaces benefit from positive impacts on mental health and wellbeing. ...
