When Reforestation Backfires: The Case of Mexico's Volcano Rabbit

A study in southern Mexico City reveals that well-intentioned reforestation is transforming alpine grasslands into dense forests, inadvertently threatening the rare volcano rabbit. By utilising citizen science, researchers identified that while some rabbits are resilient, specialised species require specific grassland preservation.
