Environmentalists, falling into two camps, namely preservationists and conservationists, have been at odds about the difference between conservation and preservation. Is there a difference, or are we creating artificial human-made fences? What's in a word?

“Right now we are facing our greatest threat in thousands of years, climate change." Sir David Attenborough presented the BBC's latest Climate Change video - Climate Change: the facts.

Media reports have indicated that the Cape Town whales have gone, and sighted clickbait sensationalist reasons. Should we be concerned? I spoke to Dr Els Vermeulen (research manager at the whale unit) to clarify what their research indicates. Southern right whales are one of the favourite visitors along the Cape coast of South Africa. The name of the southern right whale is derived from the fact that they were the right whale to hunt in the whaling days.
