EST. 2016 • NATURE + SCIENCE OBSERVATORY • NATUREETSCIENCE.COM

Where wild nature meets hard science.

We track forests, oceans, climate, wildlife and human ingenuity. Nature et Science turns field data, lab breakthroughs and indigenous knowledge into vivid stories, maps and experiments you can join.

Ancient forest canopy — nature and science

🌿 Live: Forest breath

Old-growth forests absorb 7.6B tonnes CO₂ yearly. We measure it leaf by leaf.

🔬 Lab drop #42

eDNA from a single litre of river water revealed 34 hidden species.

Our story since 2016

From a cabin journal to a global observatory

Nature et Science started as two biologists notebook-blogging in the Pyrenees. Today we run sensor networks in 12 biomes, partner with universities, parks and schools, and publish open data. No hype, no greenwashing — only verifiable wonder. We believe a child with a magnifier and a satellite see the same miracle at different scales.

We document how nature works and how science protects it: pollination networks, mycorrhizal internet, whale highways, glacier memory, urban wild corridors. Every article links field notes to methods you can reproduce.

What we do

Observe • Experiment • Restore • Teach

We place camera traps, acoustic loggers, soil probes and plankton nets — then bring results to classrooms. Our ethics: leave no trace, share all data, credit local guides first.

Long-term biodiversity monitoring plots
Low-cost open-source science instruments
Rewilding & native seed banks
Workshops for teachers and rangers

“To protect, you must first fall in love with data.”
— Elena Marceau, founder, ecologist

02 / FIELDS OF WONDER

Six biomes, one living lab.

Click any news card to dive deeper. All our coverage grows from these six research pillars.

Forests

Wood-Wide Web

Mycorrhizae, canopy fog, old-growth carbon vaults.

Oceans

Blue lung

Plankton, coral heat-resistance, whale culture.

Climate

Sky & soil

Glaciers, peatlands, urban heat islands.

Wildlife

Neighbors

Wolves, lynx, bees, migration flyways.

Microcosmos

Invisible majority

Microbiome, eDNA, fermentation science.

Humans

Homo ecologicus

Citizen science, eco-cities, light pollution.

Field notes with numbers.

2025 — ACOUSTIC ATLAS

We recorded 1.2M minutes of dawn chorus

AI identified 214 bird species. Silent spots mapped to pesticide use — now 14 farms switched to hedgerow corridors.

2024 — PEAT CORE

8,000 years of climate in 2 meters of bog

Pollen + charcoal + DNA show forests recovered in 40 years after fire when beavers returned. Rewilding works.

2023 — RIVER EDNA

One litre, 34 species, zero nets

Our school protocol lets kids sample rivers safely. Data feeds national red lists.

2026 → SEED ARK

10,000 native seeds for future forests

Join autumn seed hunts. We germinate, sequence and replant with local nurseries.

Methodology

How we verify every claim

Triangulation: field sensor + lab replicate + independent expert review. Raw CSVs, photo EXIFs and lab notebooks are archived. Uncertainty is shown, not hidden — you will see confidence intervals, not miracles.

06 / FAQ

Curious minds ask.

An independent nature-science media + field lab. We publish stories, run monitoring plots, lend sensors to schools and help rewild lands. Think National Geographic soul with open-source lab heart.

Yes! Text summaries and datasets are CC-BY for education. Credit “Nature et Science — natureetscience.com” and link back to the original /slug/ page. Raw high-res prints for exhibitions on request via contact.

See /#contact. Spring bird counts, summer plankton tows, autumn seed harvests. No PhD needed — curiosity + boots required. Under-18 with guardian.

70% solutions journalism: peat restoration, beaver dams vs floods, agrivoltaics, urban forests cooling streets by 4°C. We quantify what works, where, and at what cost.

Readers, workshops, small grants. No fossil, pesticide or fast-fashion ads. Annual transparency report published every March.

A teaspoon of healthy soil holds more microbes than people on Earth. A single whale fall feeds deep-sea life for 50 years. Nature is the best technologist — we just take notes.
