Climate change, ecology, nature, environment, eco-friendly politics, non-profit projects, human rights, preservation, wildlife... all that we care about.
Many felines across the globe are endangered, such as the Snow Leopard, the Sumatran Tiger, and the Asiatic Cheetah. However, none of them can compare to the situation of the Iberian Lynx.
The Iberian Lynx is the most endangered cat species in the world. It’s small in size—about 60-70 cm (23.6-27.5 inches) tall and 85-110 [...]
Species extinction is a hot issue. All the reasonably decent papers, TV nature shows and news programs are running stories on bluefin tuna, African elephants, tigers and fluffy polar bears more than ever before. Heck, the New York Times even ran a story about the greater sage grouse – a plains bird from the American [...]
It would seem some animals are not safe even in the places that are supposed to protect them.
Yesterday, Bantu Lukambo of the environmental group Innovation for Development and Environmental Protection, accused Congolese soldiers of killing animals in Virunga National Park. Lukambo believes it was done in February, while the soldiers were stationed in the area [...]
Although a global treaty on climate change is not likely to happen this year either, we may at least see a decent amount of effort put into stopping deforestation.
During the COP-15 event, along with the “accord”, 6 nations also pledged a total of 3.5 billion dollars towards helping developing nations fight the ongoing deforestation [...]
The law works in mysterious ways, especially when it comes to the Sea Shepherd crew.
Yesterday, the Steve Irwin and Bob Barker arrived in Tasmania. Both vessels were immediately searched by Australian police, at the request of Japanese authorities. Although the police had a search warrant, none of them would divulge and details of the warrant [...]
Last week, 25 nations met in Florida to discuss ongoing whaling issues. The main focus of the meeting was a compromise that would allow Iceland, Japan and Norway to hunt whales openly (despite a 1986 ban on commercial whaling); but in turn the 3 nations would be required to greatly reduce their quotas over a [...]
Atrazine, a common weed killer in much of the world, has been shown to turn male frogs into fully functioning, egg-laying females, according to a recent study.
Illegal in the European Union since 2004 – but widely used in the U.S. and elsewhere – the agricultural herbicide is what’s known as an endocrine disruptor, meaning it [...]
The once so beautiful beaches around the harbor of Ouzai, south of Beiroet, and close to the international airport Rafic Hairi in Lebanon, are completely ruined by waste.
Apparently a lot of this waste comes from the Costa Brava dumping grounds (that are located near the sea) and while its illegal to dump waste in the [...]
Over the last few weeks, Vancouver was home to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Polar Bear campaigns, LEED certified venues, and e-waste medals were reported in the news, along with quite the number of victories and tragedies that happened this year. Even though the Olympics have finally come to an end, it does not mean that [...]
A census on marine life in the Antarctic called The British Antarctic Survey seeks to shed some light on how the wide variety of animals that live on the Antarctic sea floor might react to climate change.
According to the survey, which began in 2005, ‘the Polar Regions are amongst the fastest warming places on Earth’. [...]
