That judge had o ...

Posted at 7:02 AM on 15 Jan 2008 It's been high drama on the high seas the past few days as the unpopular Japanese whaling fleet has been at the heart of legal action and a target of direct-action protest.

Swan Ache Swans a nuisance in Connecticut		28 Dec 2007	News
Posted at 3:04 PM on 28 Dec 2007 To many, swans are a picture of beauty and grace -- but to others, they're miscreants hell-bent on environmental destruction. In Connecticut, mute swans -- considered an invasive species -- can eat eight pounds of shoreline plants per day and, in the process, uproot an additional 20 pounds of vegetation. Their gluttony can disrupt ecosystems, displacing crabs, oysters, and native birds. Conservationists, including the st ...

The Kiwi to Success New Zealanders seek to save endangered kiwi bird		28 Dec 2007	News
Posted at 12:24 PM on 28 Dec 2007 Since humans began populating New Zealand, some 75 percent of the islands' indigenous bird species have gone extinct. Due to habitat loss and nonnative predators, it looks as though the same fate may befall the kiwi, New Zealand's iconic flightless bird. Kiwi populations are estimated to be declining by 2 to 5 percent each year; surveys suggest that in the wild, only one in 20 kiwi chicks survi ...

Since the year 1500, at least 35 percent of mammals weighing over 44 pounds have seen their range cut by more than half, thanks to humans moving on in. Well gee, maybe if the animals had brought over a welcome basket we would have been more neighborly. source:� BBC News < ...

Neck and Neck Up to six giraffe species may exist -- and some are endangered, says study		26 Dec 2007	News
Posted at 1:36 PM on 26 Dec 2007 The long-held assumption that the giraffe is a single species may be incorrect, says a new study in the journal BMC Biology. Researchers may have identified at least six separate species. Unfortunately, that means that "some of these giraffe populations number only a few hundred individuals and need immediate protection," says lead author David Brown. "Lumping ...

A USFWS spokesperson adds that the review "will be o ...

I Was the Walrus Walruses trampled as a result of climate change -- no, seriously		14 Dec 2007	News
Posted at 3:06 PM on 14 Dec 2007 Here's a climate-change impact you don't think about every day: trampled walruses. When walruses get tired of swimming, they clamber onto sea ice to rest. As ice is in increasingly short supply above the Arctic Circle, walruses are huddling on shore in extremely high numbers. And as the tusky animals are liable to stampede at the appearance of a polar bear, hunter, or low-flying ai ...
